Frequently asked questions
How old does my child have to be?
If you are signed off as a bouldering supervisor, there is no minimum age of kids you can bring to climb. The minimum age for private sessions and Junior Bouldering Clubs is 7+. The minimum age for bouldering intro sessions or to be an unsupervised junior climber is 14+.
What is a bouldering supervisor?
Bouldering supervisors are individuals over the age of 18 who have been signed off at one of our centres as a supervisor. As a supervisor you can supervise up to 2 juniors at a time.
How can I become a bouldering supervisor?
To be signed off as a supervisor you must participate in either a private session or a bouldering intro session, and pass our supervisor assessment. Alternatively, if you have climbed with us at least 4 times, you can request a bouldering supervisor assessment on your next visit.
What is an unsupervised junior?
Unsupervised juniors are individuals aged between 14-17 who can climb independently; they do not need to be accompanied by a bouldering supervisor. Unsupervised juniors can not supervise other climbers.
How do I become an unsupervised junior?
To become an unsupervised junior, you must participate in one of our private sessions or a bouldering intro session, and pass the unsupervised junior assessment. Alternatively, if you have climbed with us at least 4 times, you can request an unsupervised junior assessment on your next visit.
Can I climb alongside my child?
Yes, if you are both booked onto a private session.
Otherwise, if you are a competent climber you can easily become a bouldering supervisor (ask at the front desk to do the questionnaire) and supervisor 1-2 juniors at a time.
If you are not a competent climber, you need to book onto an Intro Session to learn everything you need to know.
Do I have to book online?
Sessions do get booked up in advance, so we’d advise booking online to guarantee a slot for your child.
Does my child need any special equipment?
All climbers are required to wear climbing shoes, but don’t worry we’ve got that covered. Shoe hire is covered in the cost of Bouldering Clubs, private sessions, and NICAS classes. Chalk will also be provided.
We recommend for you/your child to wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting chalky!
Is there parking outside CroyWall?
We don’t have allocated parking, but there is plenty nearby. The best places to park are in the Sainsbury’s car park or the TKMaxx car park. Both locations are free for 3h.
