Hotrock Climbing Class Mondays – 8 to 11 year olds ( 5.30 – 7pm)

No experience needed, just bring a bucket of enthusiasm!

Tollymore National Outdoor Centre will be running Children’s Climbing classes for all abilities starting on Monday 24th February for 4 consecutive weeks.

The wall is designed to encourage maximum participation for all beginners / intermediate climbers.  The aim of the evenings is to give young people the skills to set them on the road to becoming climbers.  They may wish to consider joining a club or climbing with others, in the future.

At Hotrock there is a lead wall and a bouldering area. The lead wall is 9.5m high and 11m wide; the bouldering wall is 4.5m high and 10m wide. There are now also four auto-belay devices on the lead wall.

The lead wall has over 40 routes ranging from easier lines to more technical and strenuous routes through the grades.

The classes are a great opportunity for children to start a new sport, learn new skills, make friends and have fun. Children can be complete beginners and will learn all the basics of climbing; such as putting on a harness, rope work skills, body movements and different climbing terms.

For children aged 6-11 years old from beginner to intermediates

No equipment is necessary. All can be provided

The course fee includes all equipment needed (harnesses, rock shoes and ropes) and instruction.
