Can I learn to Boulder during the pandemic?

ByHelena

The simple answer is YES!

We have worked hard to make it possible for us all to get back to bouldering whilst keeping you safe and maintain social distancing. Find out more about our Social Distancing Guidelines here.

To support those of you getting in touch about learning to climb we have restarted our Getting to Grips Coaching Sessions with COVID safety as a top priority.

We have changed this from a group session, to 30 minute one to ones, bookable here and available on Saturday and Sundays.

By the end of the session you will have the skills necessary to boulder safely on your own and you will have the remainder of your two hour booking to practice what you’ve learned, and our staff will be available during this time if you have any questions.

Social distancing measures will be maintained throughout the session, and we recommend wearing a mask although it is not compulsory. Currently the only chalk permitted for use in our centre is liquid chalk which is available for purchase online, or at City Bloc.

Before booking your session please watch our safety video, and fill in an adult registration form.

    Climbing Lingo “Yorkshire Spot”

    ByJenny

    “Yorkshire Spotting” could be described as half-arsed spotting or basically pointless. Spotting isn’t typically encouraged indoors – after all, that’s what mats are for. But, if you’re outside sitting on the soft, green grass impersonating a proper spot or enjoying your sandwich while your friend is slapping their way up a boulder, you are executing…
