ROPED CLIMBING CLASSES
Youth Climbing (8-15s)
Our Youth Climbing classes (formerly called Youth Xtreme) are a brilliant way for young people to get active, make friends, and have loads of fun on the wall – all while learning to climb safely. Led by qualified and friendly instructors, each session helps build confidence, co-operation, and problem-solving skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.
We follow a clear and engaging progression that lets kids develop their climbing skills week by week. Achievements are tracked along the way, giving a real sense of progress – and something to be proud of! Whether they’re just getting started or already love climbing, there’s always something new to learn.
Sessions run during term time and can be booked in blocks.
8-11yrs can book straight onto term time classes without the need for any prior experience, while 12-15yrs must first complete a one-off Roped Beginners course (4hrs split over 2 sessions).
STRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT
Our Youth Climbing classes follow the NICAS syllabus, which helps young climbers build skills and knowledge of the wider sport. These sessions can also count as evidence toward the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. If you’d like to arrange a goal-setting session with an assessor, please email The Church.
