Beginners Climbing
Climbing is a sport suitable for all fitness levels - from athlete to couch potato. It is an awesome way to get fit for any age, from 4 year olds to 80 year olds. Indoor climbing is not just physical, but also a mental challenge. All you need is a sense of adventure!
Here is a run through of what to expect on your first visit to Climb-fit
Paperwork - Everyone new to Climb-fit needs to sign a release form on arrival. Participants over the age of 12 years will be issued a belay card, which should be kept for your return visit. Children under 16 years of age will need a parent to sign them up. |
|
Equipment - Next you will be fitted with a harness. If you have your own harness, our staff will be happy to check it is fitted correctly. For first timers, its best to wear your sports shoes - but if you want to hire shoes, we are happy to fit some for you. Loose, casual clothing is the best option for climbing. |
|
Belay and Safety Instruction - Anyone over 12 years of age can be taught to belay - providing they are given the ok by staff. This lesson takes around 5 minutes and our staff will answer any other questions you may have. The weight difference between you and your partner is not an issue. Any kids under the age of 12 will need an adult to hold the ropes for them. You don’t need to be strong to belay and our staff will show you what to do. |
|
Climbing - After the safety run through, you are free to climb wherever you like. Our staff can show you some good walls to start on if you are a beginner - or some more challenging walls for those who have more experience. All climbs are colour coded - on one rope there could be up to 5 different routes up the wall. |
