No need to book, come on down
& our helpful team will show you the (no) ropes.

Bouldering

What is Bouldering?

Bouldering is climbing with the freedom of no ropes. It is physical problem solving your way up our walls using only one colour of holds.

The Essentials

No Ropes!

Bouldering is done without ropes. Our walls are a max. height of 4.5m and are built over specialised padded matting. We run everyone through a safety induction and show you how to stay within your comfort level and abilities, and how to push them as well. We also provide well placed down climbing holds to help you get down.

With no ropes you don’t need to wait for a belay partner. Even if you are solo you can come and join us at any time.

Be The Problem

Physical Problem Solving

Bouldering is about problem solving, that’s why boulders are also known as problems. Normally this requires a fair amount of failing before unlocking the finish hold! Some of the most rewarding and satisfying climbs will be the ones you have tried multiple times to work out.

Bouldering has a very fast learning curve and the climbs you feel are impossible to start with will be your warm up within a short time.

There is always more than one way to climb a boulder. Use your strengths; whether you are tall, short, flexible or bouncy, there will be a way up our climbs. Working with friends or other members is a great way of improving and figuring out each climb.

How it works

Our Grades

Ftime Grades

Our climbs (boulders) are designed so you can problem solve your way up our walls. Technique and balance is the challenge much more than raw strength. Each boulder is given a difficulty grade from a1 to a 8 allowing you to challenge yourself at your own pace. There are climbs for every level with a different focus on strength, balance and co-ordination in each boulder.

Safety Induction

On Arrival

Come in and meet our team. They will take you through everything you need to know including our safety induction. If you are under 18 then a parent or guardian will need to sign you in. Special climbing shoes are needed for our walls and can be hired if you don’t have your own. Our team will take you through our grading system and where and how to start. They are always here for tips and any help you might need to get you to the top.
