Mondays 6.45pm tp 7.45pm: Coaching Club

We run a Coaching Club on Monday evenings at 7pm. This is an informal one-hour session coaching session that will help you meet new people, consolidate, refine and improve the skills that you have already gained. It will help you to solve problems that you may be struggling with, and we will apraise and recommend coaching courses when we feel you are ready. The session costs only £2.50 in addition to your normal entry and provides a great start to your evening’s bouldering.

Saturdays 9am to 9.45am: Yoga for climbers

We have a specific yoga for climbers session most Saturday mornings. This dynamic session with Wale Ladiende will dust out the bodily cobwebs and prepare you for a great morning's climbing. See the events calendar at the bottom of the page for session dates.
