Boulder Club

A progressive course for young rock climbers.

Boulder Club is a selection of courses; from the beginner Taster sessions right up to our Squad who compete at a national level.

These courses will help you develop your climbing, at your own pace with the guidance of an instructor.

We’ll provide you with a logbook to record your achievements, and certificates as you progress through the levels.

All in all, it provides a great environment in which you can learn to climb whilst having fun with a group of friends.

We’re sure you’ll love it.

Rock Climbing Taster for Adults and Children aged 8+

A one off session to give you a taste of what bouldering at TCA is all about. Come down and try out bouldering as a sporting activity.  It’s mentally and physically challenging and a great opportunity for kids to socialize outside of school. If parents or older siblings want to come along, this session is open to adults too!

This course works towards a higher level of climbing and an understanding of that on a technical level.  By now you’ll be climbing on steeper sections of the wall and starting to challenge yourself.  You’ll also get an overview of more general climbing terminology.  There’s no time restraint on this course, but once completed you will be offered a place on our Advanced course.
