Your questions
- Do we need to book?
Booking for the fun day is preferred since spaces are limited. Across the holidays you can just turn up and boulder anytime. - Can we boulder with no experience?
Yes. You don’t need any experience to try bouldering. Complete the relevant forms before you arrive and you’re ready to go. Bouldering is climbing without ropes, on lower walls, over padded mats. If you’d like a guided first visit, you can book an optional induction. - What age can children climb?
You can start bouldering or roped climbing at any age, although certain areas will have restrictions for under 8s. Under 16s must be supervised by a registered adult. Each adult can supervise up to 2 others per visit. See also FAQs. - Can our family try roped climbing?
If you’d prefer roped climbing, please visit The Church (Bristol) or The Arc (Chippenham). Both centres offer Tasters or Beginners Courses
