Is Rock Climbing Safe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, absolutely. Once you learn the safety procedures, gain experience in the outdoor environment, you will find rock climbing as safe, if not safer, than many other sports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By far the safest way to climb is under the supervision of a qualified instructor, so make sure you listen carefully, follow instruction and above all have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minimum age for taking part in a session with our rock climbing instructors is 5. However, there’s no maximum age limit, so if you feel fit and able, then why not come along! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, climbing doesn\u2019t require a lot of proper technical clothing. In fact, you can probably find what you need in your wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For women, shorts are an option, although you may find that’s a bit uncomfortable against the rock walls . We suggest non-restrictive yoga pants, leggings or joggers are other good options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For men, again athletic clothes are a great choice. Just like for women, if you decide to wear loose-fitting shorts, you may want to wear tighter spandex shorts underneath for obvious reasons! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happens, don\u2019t let the decision about what to wear stop you from climbing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that learning to rock climb can seem intimidating, especially if you’ve never been shown the ropes before, but it is surprisingly accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re willing, there’s no reason for you to be super athletic to start learning how to climb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
