Beginners
Climbing is a great sport that can be enjoyed by all ages. There are a number of ways to get started:
Bouldering
Bouldering is low-level climbing over mats – you don’t need ropes and you don’t need to book. It’s the easiest way to start climbing. You can drop in anytime. Save time: complete your forms (with safety video) online before you visit. Under 16s must be supervised by a registered adult (max 2 per adult).
Auto belay inductions – on request
Auto belays let you climb solo – no partner, rope or belay device needed. We offer free auto belay inductions at The Prop Store. Ask at reception or call 0141 429 6331 to book. Learn the key safety rules and get hands-on guidance from an experienced instructor.
Roped Taster
These quick ‘have-a-go’ taster sessions are designed to introduce you to the world of indoor climbing without committing to a formal course. We run Adult and Family Tasters for 8yrs+.
