If you've never climbed at our centre before we’ll provide a quick induction. If you're bringing children but don't intend to climb yourself, you'll still need to come to an induction to ensure you understand the dangers of the wall and how to keep your children safe. If you've climbed before we’ll ask some questions about your experience. Don't be offended if we recommend an induction, it’s purely to ensure everyone is safe.
At FREEKLIME we offer a free induction if you are not visited our bouldering centres before! One of the ‘FREEKS’ will walk you around the centre and show you where to start with the ‘boulder problems’, what good bouldering practice is and any do’s & don’ts. You don’t need to book an induction, just simply turn up on the day and a FREEK will be more than happy to help!
Yes! FREEKLIME is an amazing place to bring kids! We offer a wide range of instructed classes and sessions for ages 4 upwards see the link belowAnd you can always bring down kids to general sessions and supervise them yourself, just check out our Kids at Freeklime page linked below for some guidance on how to stay safe and have the best experience possible when you're here!
You don’t need to be fit or super strong to start climbing. You’ll find climbs (problems) you can do on your first visit and the more you climb the stronger you’ll become. Remember to warm up beforehand to minimise the risk of injury. Be sure to ask for guidance and we’ll be happy to help!
No, turn up when you like and stay as long as you want. We also run a range of adult/kids classes, we advise booking in advance to avoid missing out.
Comfortable clothes that don't restrict movement. Shoe hire is £3.
Bouldering isn’t about climbing high. The wall is only 4.2m at its highest point and while your hands may be at the top, your feet are unlikely to be more than 3m off the ground. We have crash mats throughout and can teach you to land safely to minimise the risk of injury. As you gain confidence you’ll stop noticing the heights.
If you love FREEKLIME as much as we think you will, you will want to become a monthly member. Monthly membership costs just £32 a month and will save you a considerable amount in entry fees.
