The Session and Women With Altitude

We currently run a FREE service on  Weekday Evenings 7pm to 9pm and Weekend Afternoons 2pm to 5pm for Castle-Registered climbers to help you get the most out of your time in the centre. The only cost is the usual price of entry.

The Session is a free drop-in service offered to registered climbers at the Castle and is hosted by one of our experienced climbing staff. It's not a formal course but it has been designed to help improve your climbing technique, and gives you the chance to climb with a wider group of people. If you've just registered or don't have a regular climbing partner, come along to The Session.

Bouldering Wednesdays are for those of you who feel you'd like a bit of support to climb (or down-climb!) those scary-looking boulder problems you've always wanted to try. Whilst the rest of the week's sessions usually focus on top-roping, Wednesdays are aimed at getting people bouldering confidently.

Women With Altitude (Mondays 7pm - 9pm) As with The Session, WWA is an unstructured,  free service - the only difference being that it's only available to women! Female climbers of all abilities who are registered members of the Castle are welcome - it's an informal and unstructured chance to climb with other women. The sessions are hosted by a variety of experienced female climbers who each have specialised knowledge of different aspects of climbing.

Please ask the receptionist to point out the evening's facilitator when you arrive.
