Climbing Risks & Rules

Please read below & complete form.

General: Climbing and bouldering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement. Although The Wall is an artificial environment, many of the risks involved are no less serious than when climbing outside on a crag or boulder. Climbing beyond your capabilities on any indoor wall is likely to result in a fall. Any fall may result in an injury despite the safety systems in place to avoid it. You must make your own assessment of the risks whenever you climb.

Please take time to read: It’s important and is legally binding and sets out the terms and conditions which govern our relationship with you.

Holds and volumes: Holds and volumes can spin or break at any time resulting in you falling off a wall in an uncontrolled manner. Loose or damaged holds must be reported to reception straight away.

Matting: The soft flooring under the bouldering walls is designed to provide a more comfortable landing for climbers when falling or jumping from the bouldering wall. The matting does not make bouldering any safer than any other form of indoor climbing activity at greater height involving ropes. Broken and sprained limbs are common on this type of climbing wall despite the soft landing. Uncontrolled falls are likely to result in injuries to you or others.

The Wall’s rules: The rules of The Wall set out below are not intended to limit your enjoyment of the facilities. They are provided to help ensure that everyone who uses The Wall can do so as safely as possible. They are part of the duty of care that we owe to you.
