WHO CAN CLIMB?

Pretty much anyone can go climbing. At entry level it can cater for all ages and abilities, including people with mental or physical disabilities. It’s also considered a ‘lifetime participation sport’. You can start climbing at around age four or five and continue into your eighties and beyond!

People of all shapes and sizes enjoying climbing, either for fun, fitness or the friendly social atmosphere. Whilst strength can be seen as the obvious advantage, it’s actually more important to develop good technique and balance. The more efficient you can be through your movement, the more you save your strength. Most people tend to progress quickly with good basic coaching and advice.

CLIMBING FOR FITNESS

Climbing is a full body workout, engaging your large muscle groups, core muscles and, of course, your fingers, arms and shoulders. It can strengthen your back and climbing regularly can help to prevent back pain as well as increasing strength, stamina and improving body tone.

It’s also a mental workout, involving concentration, problem solving and plenty of determination. The hardest part of a climb can sometimes be just figuring out (and remembering) the right ‘sequence of moves’.

CLIMBING FOR FUN

One of the great things about climbing is the way the climbing walls are laid out. The walls are covered in coloured climbing holds with each line of colours representing a certain level of difficulty. This means people who climb at different levels can climb together in the same area. It makes it fun and social, and because good climbing centres change (reset) their climbing holds regularly, there are always new challenges to take on.
