Bouldering Basics Class
Join us for a Bouldering Basics session, the perfect introduction to the sport of bouldering!
Bouldering is a discipline within the sport of climbing that the London Climbing Centres specialise in.
Bouldering's done on low-height walls with crashmats providing protection, instead of a rope and harness. It emphasises problem-solving and short sequences of moves to conquer the wall, instead of endurance and braving tall heights.
All you need to give it a go is a pair of shoes (and they're included in the cost of a session).
You can start climbing with us independently (by simply watching our induction video) but if you want a little more guidance, Bouldering Basics classes are the thing for you.
During Bouldering Basics, a knowledgeable instructor will guide you through your first ever bouldering session. They’ll explain how to warm up, the basic techniques and tips that you’ll need to master to reach the top of the wall, and also demonstrate how to climb safely to protect yourself and others around you.
We provide everything you need to get started. Just wear some comfortable clothing that you won’t mind getting chalky, and join us!
The minimum age is 14. If you are aged 14-17, you can complete an assessment following your induction to enable you to use the centre unsupervised, but your parent or legal guardian must first visit the centre for a bouldering safety briefing and to give consent for you to boulder unsupervised.

- Price: £40 per person
- Ages: 14+
- What's included? Everything! Instruction, shoe & chalk hire, registration fee, climbing after your session

If you are a parent looking to supervise children at the centre then this session will also introduce to you all the knowledge you need to safely do so. Please let the instuctor know this at the start and they will make sure they cover all the important best practice points for you to successfully complete our Bouldering Supervisor form.
Before you visit we ask that you watch our induction video and have a read of our Conditions of Use before your arrival to the centre, these can be found on our pre-registration page. If not done before we will need you to do the above upon arrival potentially reducing your climbing time.
