When are climbing sessions held?
We run sessions during school term times, in daytime and evening groups that are weekly or fortnightly. Booking your climbing sessions is essential. Before you climb with us we will talk about what you want from climbing and we will find a group that is geared to you. There is a waiting list. Volunteers are interviewed and vetted, and we will get to know you before you join sessions, all of which are run by a DBS-checked session leader from CfAS and a Foundry Climbing Centre instructor.
What shall I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes and trainers for climbing. Climbing walls are more or less outdoor temperature, so wrap up warm unless it’s a hot day outside! We will lend you a climbing harness that’s right for you, and anything else you need. Everybody climbs with a “top rope” and a competent climber or instructor belaying for them, so you can’t fall off the wall. Some people have extra ropes and harnesses.
How much does it cost?
Our suggested contribution to costs is £7.50 per session, but this on a ‘Pay As You Feel’ basis. We want cost to never be a barrier to participation, so please pay what you can afford or nothing at all. We like payment by BACS or PayPal when you book your session. (We don’t like being given money at sessions because we can’t hack the admi
