Safety first

SAFEY, SECURITY, SUPPORT

Looking after you is our number one priority. From carefully selected equipment to highly trained staff and arena design, safety is always at the forefront.

Our automatic belay devices keep you secure, taking in slack as you climb and lowering you gently to the ground. With a weight range of 35lbs to 330lbs, they ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

Our innovative clipping system ensures climbers are always securely attached throughout the climb. Every session starts with a full safety briefing, and our climbing experts are always nearby to assist anyone feeling uncertain.

Remember, the golden rule is: CLIP IN BEFORE CLIMBING.
