A: All you will need to bring is yourself. Closed shoes (trainers) and a hair band if you have long hair and we provide the rest. Climbers should wear comfortable, appropriate clothing for climbing, so no skirts or dresses to be worn. All climbers must follow the clothing regulations, which include removing inappropriate jewellery, ‘securing’ any glasses, taking off hoodies, and tying back long hair. Lockers are provided on site for valuables to be stored. If you attend with incorrect clothing/Jewellery unfortunately you will not be able to climb.
