Discover Bouldering: Climb, Connect, Conquer!
As the New Year unfolds, it often brings with it a set of fresh goals and aspirations. Perhaps you're aiming to improve your fitness, find more joy, reduce your workload, or strengthen your social connections. Regardless of your motivations, bouldering presents an ideal opportunity to meet these aims.
The beauty of bouldering lies in its simplicity: you don't need ropes or a harness, just some climbing shoes (which can be hired at the centre) and a drive to get the top and overcome some trepidation. It's also a fundamentally social experience, with most of the session spent discussing how to solve particular climbing routes ("bouldering problems") or catching up with each other in between climbs. Bouldering is a great way to get into the world of climbing, come and see what all the fuss is about!
All skill levels are welcome. If you're new to climbing, we've got you covered with tailored guidance, boosting your skills and confidence while ensuring your safety on and around the wall.
Experienced boulderer? Dive in and embrace the challenges independently. Just remember to follow the center's rules for your own safety.
Our ethos is inclusivity. I keep our group tight-knit to foster connection and ensure personalized coaching for everyone, regardless of your experience level.

IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
You MUST complete a Participation Statement, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
What to bring
The only specialist bit of equipment you need are climbing shoes. If you don't own a pair, you can hire these from the bouldering centre.
Wear appropriate sports clothes:
- Shorts/tracksuits that are flexible and allow a range of comfortable movement.
Jewellery or accessories such as rings, watches, chains or bangles should be removed before beginning the session to prevent injury.
Padlock for the lockers to keep valuables safe.
Food & drink
Bring a bottle of water - a water fountain is available to refill your bottle. We usually stop mid-way through the session for a quick snack, drink, and chat in the climbing centre cafe.
