Why are Climbing Parties Popular?
The interest in climbing parties has grown in the past few years. At Rock Up, we have centres up and down the UK so you can enjoy a climbing party no matter where you are based.
The main reasons for wall climbing parties getting so much attention are;
Super Fun
Of course – climbing parties are so much fun! How often are children climbing on benches or scrabbling up hills? They simply love to climb! Letting them lose in our climbing arena is the perfect solution, let them climb in a safe and suitable environment. Also our colourful arenas are adventurous and stimulating for all climbers, bring the whole family down to enjoy what we have to offer.
Physical Activity
There’s no denying that wall climbing is a good physical activity for all levels of fitness. With so much digital gaming and online platforms in use, getting children to do something physical can be a mission. Climbing is a full body workout, reaching and pulling with you arms, stretching and pushing with your legs and holding your core strong to get to the top! There isn’t another activity that is this fun but such a workout at the same time.
Suitable all Year Round
In the UK, we have learnt not to rely on the weather when it comes to outdoor events. Our indoor climbing arenas not only protect you from the rain, wind and cold weather, they also provide shelter from the sun on hot days and many of our centres also have air conditioning so you don’t overheat.
Social
The growth and availability of online platforms that these days, pose as a risk that the next generation will be less comfortable in groups because they are so used to interacting online instead. With a climbing wall party, all their friends will physically come together in one place. You will see the social interaction grow and friendship blossom in person, in real time.
Mental and Cognitive
As well as social and physical benefits, there are also a range of mental and cognitive benefits when it comes to climbing walls. Problem solving as they climb and descend, building confidence as they tackle the walls again and again, patience as they take their time climbing. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the mental and cognitive benefits of climbing parties.
Different and Unique
Whilst there has been a growth in climbing wall parties recently, they are still a unique type of party to host. It’s not just another Saturday afternoon crammed into the local village hall – it’s a fun and exciting venture for all. And let’s not forget the great coffee and refreshments for the parents!
