ROPED CLIMBING

ROPE CLIMBING WORKSHOP // 2hrs // £20

Thinking of getting into roped climbing for the first time or want to sharpen your skills? Our two-hour drop-in workshop is ideal for beginners and improvers alike. Whether you’ve never tied a knot in your life or just want a bit more confidence with kit and setup, this is the ideal session for you.

During the session, you’ll learn:

A range of essential climbing knots
Different belaying techniques
How to use sandbags when belaying
How to use a variety of belay devices
Proper helmet and harness use and fitting

During down time you'll also be able to spend some time on our Bouldering walls too. All equipment — ropes, harnesses, helmets, climbing shoes, belay devices, slings, you name it — is provided by us at no extra cost. Just bring yourself, some comfy clothes, and a bit of enthusiasm.

Note: At just two hours, this session can serve as a great introduction — but it’s not designed to cover everything in just one sitting. If you're just starting out, we recommend coming along to more than one workshop to build up your skills and confidence over time.

Our Instructed Sessions are bookable events under the guidance of an instructor as either term time courses or on-off holiday sessions.

At Mount Palace we're very proud of our under 18's climbing sessions. Unlike bouldering-only centers, all of our sessions are led by Mountain Training certified roped climbing instructors. Our group sizes are small—just four climbers per session for up to 7 year-olds, six for 8-11 and eight for 12+—ensuring personalised attention and a supportive environment. Our classes blend rope climbing techniques and bouldering, with a focus on safety, progression, and enjoyment. We aim to help young climbers build confidence, strength, and teamwork skills.
