There’s no need to go on a course to get started, for bouldering, you can simply watch a safety video, recieve a safety briefing from a member of staff, grab your shoes (chalk optional) and you’re ready to get on the wall. Climbing is a fantastic way to bond with your partner while having loads of fun. At TCA, you’ll find a range of climbing walls suited to all skill levels, so you can challenge each other and celebrate your successes together.

Plus, you’ll leave TCA feeling invigorated and accomplished, ready to continue your evening with a sense of achievement. We think it’s the perfect healthy date night idea.

3. Great location

With two locations in Glasgow, The Newsroom in Kinning Park and The Prop Store in Maryhill, you have the option to visit either with the flexibility to explore more of Glasgow after your climbing session. The Newsroom is midway between Kinning Park and Shields Road subway stations, if you’re heading into town or just a short walk to the Quay. The Prop Store is just a mile from Byres Road. There are plenty of bus links on Maryhill Road.

Let’s go climbing

For bouldering, you don't need any experience and don't need to book a course before starting. Complete beginners are welcomed (and encouraged). If you're looking to tackle our roped area including auto-belays at The Prop Store, you can book a beginner course or receive a free auto-belay induction. If it's your first date, we'd reccomend starting out with bouldering.
