Climbing Walls In UK
Visit your local climbing wall to try out rock climbing near you. Before turning up, here’s some things to consider, from what equipment you’ll need to visit your local climbing centre, what to wear for climbing and how to get involved.Types of Climbing at your climbing wall
When looking to go to your local climbing wall, you’ll want to make sure you plan which type of climbing you want to do. In general you have a choice between bouldering, sport climbing and lead climbing at indoor climbing centres. To understand more about these climbing types, check out our Beginners Guide to Rock CLimbingBouldering is the act of climbing up shorter walls up to 20ft, without ropes. There are big matts to cushion your fall and because the height is low, risk of injury is limited (but still possible of course). The beauty of bouldering is you can quickly get onto a wall and become independent. There’s no need to learn about climbing equipment so you can focus on technique. Whilst bouldering can be a great way to start and get into the sport, sport climbing is an enjoyable way to get accustomed to the climbing equipment and climb to higher heights.
Equipment needed for indoor climbing walls near you
To get involved in climbing, you can often get all you need from your local climbing wall. You can often rent climbing shoes, you can buy some chalk for your hands to aid with gripping. And that’s all you really need for bouldering. If you’re trying out climbing with ropes, the wall will have all the equipment you’ll need. This will be a harness, a belay device and the ropes. Book in with an instructor for a full instruction on how to use them safely and to get the best technique. Make sure to take a water bottle and a snack to keep yourself hydrated.What to wear to rock climbing?
Make sure to wear something flexible on your legs to avoid restricting movement, either leggings, shorts or flexible trousers. You want to avoid wearing clothing that is baggy as it can get in the way. Climbing walls can get hot and cold, so take a jumper just in case. You’ll get climbing shoes from your local climbing wall, so you’ll likely want to leave your socks on.
