Ah climbing...
This is what it's all about

Rockface welcomes climbing virgins and veterans alike. We have something for everyone. Any questions?...

Can I come climbing on my own?
You can come to the gym on your own, but you can't climb the walls without a partner; it’s best to bring a friend. If you are on your own, you can boulder, which means climb around near ground level. It's still great exercise and lots of people do it.

What should I wear?
Because you will be fitted with a harness that goes around your legs like shorts, loose-fitting or stretchy clothes are ideal. Pants or shorts and a t-shirt are recommended climbing attire. Rigid clothing such as jeans can prove very uncomfortable! And, don’t even get us started on how silly you’ll look in a skirt!

Do I need to register?
All participants must sign an enrolment form before using our facilities. For climbers aged under 18, the enrolment form must also be signed by a parent or guardian. Download a copy of our enrolment form: click here (PDF format, Adobe Acrobat Reader required).

What sort of gear will I use?
Once you’ve registered, you will be fitted with a harness. You may also want to use proper climbing shoes (makes it much easier) and climbers' chalk (if your hands get sweaty). These are available for hire or, if you’re serious about climbing, you can purchase your own gear from our pro-shop.

What are the different types of climbing?
Top-roping, bouldering, and lead climbing are the main types of indoor climbing. You can learn more about the techniques through our training programs.
