Climbing Sessions
Sessions & CouRSes
All instructed sessions and courses need booking in advance. This can be done in person at the climbing wall reception or over the phone. Payment is required at the time of booking. Equipment hire is included with all our courses and instructor-led sessions.
Adult Intro to Climbing course
This course aims to teach you the required skills to use the roped climbing walls as an independent climber. On the course you will learn how to put on your harness, tie in with a suitable climbing knot and belay safely (control the rope for another climber).
Adult Learn to Lead climb course
To learn to lead climb you must be proficient at top rope climbing, belaying, and tying into your harness. Lead climbing is a more advanced skill, and we recommend that you are climbing F6a or above before taking this course.
Learn to Lead courses are arranged as needed. Please talk to the Climb Leicester team to register your interest or book an instructor.
Parent and child course
This course is aimed at parents who wish to learn how to look after junior climbers on the top-rope walls, but who do not wish to climb themselves.
During the course you and your junior will learn how to use a climbing harness, connect to the climbing rope safely, and how to belay (control the rope for another climber).
Junior climbing lessons
We run junior climbing lessons following the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme (NICAS) – a nationwide scheme that aims to develop skills in a safe and structured environment. It covers both indoor roped climbing as well as bouldering, providing participants with a solid foundation in climbing techniques, safety awareness, and personal progression. We have a minimum age of 8 for our NICAS lessons.
