The easiest way for kids to try climbing at alien rock is taking part in our kids club sessions or having a go in a taster session.

We now offer training and assessment for NICAS
(National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme).

The National Indoor Climbing Achievement Scheme is a UK wide scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on artificial climbing structures. It can be used as a starting point for people wishing to take up climbing and mountaineering. It is open to all candidates aged 7 and upwards.

See the NICAS site for more details.

For those kids doing level 3 check out this link "Grit Kids" by NICAS and Hotaches.

Suitable for individual kids aged 8 or over. Tuition is given in small groups with a maximum ratio of six kids per instructor. Kids are taught how to climb and look after themselves and others in an exciting, energetic environment.

Sessions run most Saturday and Sunday mornings.
