BOULDERING CLASSES

YOUTH BOULDERING (8-13s)

Our Youth Bouldering sessions are packed with energy, creativity and challenge – the perfect environment for young climbers to build skills, strength and confidence. Led by qualified and enthusiastic instructors, these weekly classes offer a fun and structured introduction to the world of bouldering, where problem-solving and movement go hand in hand.

Bouldering is a dynamic and social form of climbing that doesn’t require ropes or harnesses. It’s all about using balance, technique and creative thinking to work out short climbing ‘problems’ – helping young climbers stay active, focused and confident.

Participants work through a progressive syllabus that starts with the basics and builds towards more advanced skills. Each stage introduces new challenges as young climbers grow in ability, knowledge and confidence.

BOOKING

Block book a term

Sessions run on Saturdays and Sundays during term time. Block bookings are released first, with single sessions available later. Beginners are welcome to join single sessions without any prior experience.

Please note: Young people aged 16–17 can boulder independently as TCA members. They just need to complete the relevant forms, which include watching a short safety video. We also run a Youth Boulder Club for 12+. If you’re looking for roped climbing classes, check out Youth Climbing at The Prop Store in Maryhill.
