VERTICAL FUN FOR LITTLE ONES!
Tiny Climbers are brilliant sessions for adventurous pre-schoolers aged 3 to 6 years old. A session involves time in two of our most accessible climbing areas – in B1, our dedicated short-reach bouldering area, and our Fun Walls zone!
First up is time in our exciting Fun Walls. This area features a series of colourful elements and obstacles for adventure-seekers to climb and explore. Children can safely climb up the walls as high as they want as they are attached via a harness to the rope via an auto belay system – this ‘catches’ them should they come off the wall and slowly lowers them down. There’s no pressure to reach the top but walls reach up to 8.5m high (hence the ropes and harness!). They range in difficulty and some even offer multiple challenges, but whether your little one only gets a few feet off the ground or scales all the way up to the top, they all provide tonnes of fun!
The action then continues in B1 with a number of ‘free play’ games and physical activities based around balance, coordination and climbing fun on our smaller bouldering walls. These walls are much lower, and as it’s Bouldering you don’t need any harnesses or ropes here. Children are unattached – but don’t worry there’s thick crash mats to soften any unexpected landings! Various games include finding hidden items on the walls using things such as bean bags and hoops as well as various items on the floor. Again, there’s no pressure to reach the top at all – children are encouraged to climb as high as is comfortable for them.
As well as being an incredible amount of fun, these sessions also offer an accessible way for young ones without any experience to get into climbing and offer unexperienced daredevils a way to get to grips with higher or lower walls.
After a 15 minute safety briefing which invloves watching a video and getting into a harness, intrepid adventure-seekers can enjoy 30 mins climbing the Fun Walls and 30 mins of Bouldering and games in B1. Once the Tiny Climbers session has finshed, there’s no rush to as you and your child are welcome to stay and climb for as long as like in B1.
Tiny Climber sessions run every Friday morning during school term time. Check the calendar for the latest times and the latest availability.
RESTRICTIONS & SUPERVISION:
AGES & SUPERVISION:
Tiny Climbers sessions are strictly for 3 to 6 year olds.
All climbers will be supervised by our qualified instructors throughout the activities. However, these sessions are parental supervised so an adult will need to stay with and assist their children at all times. This adult must also watch the safety briefing.
On the Fun Walls children will need help with the clipping in & out so they must be accompanied by an adult. There is a ratio of one adult per two youngsters allowed on the mats. No other adults are allowed on the mats so any other adults must watch from the side or up on the balcony.
On the Bouldering at least one adult must remain to supervise their child but multiple adults can access the mats.
WEIGHTS & HEIGHTS: All climbers must weigh at least 10kg (1.5st). There are no height restrictions, as long as the harness can fit safely then you’re good to go!
