Climbing is both a full-body workout and a mental problem-solving challenge, having been proven to improve mental health and promote mindfulness. Most of all, it’s a fun and inclusive sport, and here at Substation we pride ourselves on bringing youngsters into our community and watching them grow in confidence and prosper within our centre.

You can climb from any age, however, we’ve found that at the age of about three kids tend to get a grip on how it all works. Kids have an instinct to climb, instead of telling them to stop, bring them to Substation where they can go for it!

You will need to book our Subclub’s, kid’s parties and Holiday clubs. If you want to climb independently, then you don’t need to book, just fill in a waiver.

Anyone entering our climbing area is required to fill in a waiver; this includes supervisors that aren’t climbing and spectators. If you’re under 18 we need a waiver filled in by your parent and guardian. Then if you’re not in an instructed group, you will need a supervisor that’s over 18. If you’re supervising a minor, we ask that you stay with them for the entire time. Stay vigilant, and ensure they’re out of harms way. If you’re unsure of how to supervise, why not take on of our free Intro to Climbing lessons. These free sessions are held every Saturday and Sunday and are a great way to learn the basics.
