Adult Beginner Coaching Courses

Our adult coaching runs on Tuesday evenings, with two options: a 6-week beginners' course for complete newcomers, and 4-week open coaching blocks to keep you progressing. Both are led by qualified coaches.

Courses currently run in autumn and winter. Get in touch for the next start dates.

Beginner Bouldering Course

Tuesdays, 6–7pm · 6 weeks · £85 · up to 6 people

For complete novices who've never climbed, or are very new to climbing walls. The sessions build on each other week by week, so the course is designed to be done in full.

Over the 6 weeks you'll cover:

  • Warming up and using the wall
  • Basic movement technique and reading routes
  • Climbing on steep ground
  • Intermediate moves such as flagging, toe and heel hooks, and palming

Your instructor will be an experienced, qualified RCI or MCI who has completed Mountain Training Foundation and/or Development Coach training.

Places are first come, first served.

Open Coaching

Tuesdays, 7–8pm · 4-week blocks

The natural next step after the beginner course, or for anyone still fairly new to bouldering who wants a fun, guided, social climb with a qualified coach.

Each session has its own focus, but they don't build on each other, so you can join any block without missing anything. Improve your climbing, pick up new skills and meet other climbers along the way.
