Climbing is a complex activity with many skills to learn and master.
Before you start climbing with us in earnest, you’ll have a much more enjoyable experience if you:
- Know how to wear and fit a climbing harness correctly;
- Know how to tie in to the harness with a climbing rope;
- Have a harness, climbing shoes for indoor climbing and a climbing helmet for outdoor climbing;
- Have had a few top roping sessions either indoors or out.
The climbing centres in the area will have shoes and harnesses for hire and they also offer introductory courses for complete beginners.
For outdoor climbing you will need your own. We are here to help if you need advice on what to buy. We do get a small discount at Up and Under, Cardiff https://www.upandunder.co.uk/
Don’t be overly concerned about additional climbing kit. We can advise as necessary when you need help.
