Climb, connect and feel at home.

Our Women’s Boulder Social is a relaxed and friendly weekly meet-up for climbers of all levels. Whether you're completely new to climbing or have years of experience, it’s a space to share the wall with others, swap tips, build confidence and enjoy being part of a supportive community.

The session is open to all cis and trans women. We know climbing gyms can sometimes feel intimidating – this social aims to break down those barriers and create a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong.

There’s no pressure to climb a certain way or at a certain level – just friendly faces, good chats and a chance to connect over a shared love of climbing.

Roped climbing adventures for growing confidence

Climbing is a brilliant way for kids to stay active, burn energy and build confidence – all while having loads of fun. In our Rockhoppers classes, children use ropes and harnesses to explore climbing walls in a supportive, instructor-led environment.

Each weekly session introduces key climbing skills through games, movement challenges and our in-house award scheme. There’s no need for prior experience – just a sense of adventure and a willingness to try.

Rockhoppers runs during school term time and can be block booked initially with single sessions released separately.
