Taster Sessions - Rock and Rapid

Want to try climbing?

Our rock climbing taster sessions are for adults, children, families and groups. A climbing taster session is a one and a half hour climbing lesson with one of our professional instructors. This is the perfect introduction to climbing for beginners, and is suitable for anyone from 6 to 96 years of age can take part in a taster session and we have challenges to suit all ages and abilities.

The equipment is provided and we get you climbing straight away. There is no ‘rope work’ for you to learn on a taster – it’s all about the climbing. You will get to spend half of your session climbing, and the other half bouldering in our brand new bouldering centre, all whilst being encouraged and coached by your instructor.

We run taster sessions all day, every day – but we suggest you call and book in advance. You can call us on 01769 379002.

"Great rainy day activity for all the family"

As a family of five who like to try new things, I can’t recommend this enough. The staff member who helped us was top class. Friendly, accommodating and keen. Although, we were all at different levels of experience, some of us complete notices at climbing – we all managed to spend an enjoyable couple of hours.

"Brilliant fun"

Really good day out and cater for all levels of ability. As complete beginners we were a bit nervous to begin with but soon got up to speed. Very good value for money.

Darren J, Worcester / Indoor Climbing

"The children were challenged"

We had a great stay. The children were challenged in a positive way.
