3. Is there an age requirement: The Rock has climbing for all ages and abilities.  Kids can climb usually from the age of 5; if your child is climbing everything at home, then there’s a good chance he/she can climb our walls.
4. What if I don’t own any climbing equipment: Available for rent, including harnesses, shoes & chalk bags (the shoes and chalkbag are optional, but they do make climbing a lot easier).  See Rates Page for hire costs.
5. What should I wear: Tracksuit pants and a t-shirt are ideal, however anything you can move in comfortably is fine. For girls, skirts or dresses are definitely NOT suitable. While climbing shoes are the best option, running shoes with good grip on the sole (and laces done up) are often adequate for beginners and young children.  Barefeet, thongs, loose fitting shoes or shoes with open toes are not suitable.

Age & Safety Requirements

All belayers (the person who holds the rope to keep the climber safe) must be at least 13 years of age.  Also, participants under the age of 18 must have a parent sign a Participant Agreement forms before climbing.
