Cardiff Indoor Climbing - Saturday

Join us for an afternoon of roped climbing in Cardiff as part of the City break weekend:
https://www.outdoorlads.com/events/cardiff-city-break-230818

We will primarily be doing roped climbing, although might also do some bouldering.

If you interested in climbing with us, but can't make this event, our other South Wales Climbing events can be found here.

I'm new to Climbing - can I come along?   YES!

If you've never climbed before, just let the event leader know and they can arrange for you to be signed into the climbing centre as a supervised climber so that you can come and give it a try. If you enjoy your climbing experience, and would like to come climbing more regularly, we will also happily show you the ropes and teach you everything you need to know to climb safely.

Do I need to be Supervised as a Climber?

If you answer NO to any of the following three questions, then you will need to arrange to be supervised, please message the event leader before you sign up to this event to check availability for this session.
If you can answer YES to all these questions, you can sign up to this event as normal:

1. Can you fit a climbing harness correctly?
2. Can you tie in to a rope using the correct knots?
3. Can you belay another climber correctly and confidently?

Please note that the climbing centre limits the number of novice climbers we can supervise, hence we need to know in advance to make sure enough experienced climbers are available.

How do I join this event?

To come along, please sign up on this OutdoorLads event page.  You will also need to pay for entry to Boulders, this can be done at reception on in advance from their website. Harness and shoes can be rented from Boulders, but please bring your own if you have them.

If it's your first time climbing at Boulders (or you've not climbed since Boulders changed their booking system), you will also need to register with them at https://bouldersuk.com/register-to-climb. Select the options based on your experience ("First Time Users" if you need to be Supervised, "Competent Climber" if not). 

Please contact the event leader with any questions (by clicking on their name, next to the photo below and sending a private message).  If the event is full, please reach out to the event leader as we maybe able to add further places, depending on the number of new and experienced climbers.
