Bouldering is a form of free climbing that doesn’t require any ropes or harnesses. At The Ledge we have some challenging vertical bouldering walls where you can get to grips with this fun activity.
Make your way over some tricky bouldering “problems” (a climbing route) using your balance, technique, strength and brainpower. All the equipment you need is a pair of climbing shoes and a bag of chalk to give you give you a good grip and you can start racking up experience. If you fall off there are safety mats to catch you.
The aim of bouldering is not to climb as high as possible, but to solve the “problems” presented on the wall. The more you do it, the more techniques you’ll learn and the stronger you’ll get.
Our safety rules for bouldering are simply:
If you’re new to roped climbing you’re in for a treat at The Ledge. Once you have, quite literally, learned the ropes you’ll be able to climb higher and for longer, either attached to a rope fixed to the wall above you (top-roping) or clipping the rope into fixed bolts on the wall as you ascend (lead climbing).
Even if you’ve had some experience with roped climbing for safety’s sake we test your competency with belaying and tying in ropes before you can be let loose on our exciting vertical roped climbing walls. If you’re a complete novice you can climb under the supervision of an experienced, verified climber and learn the skills involved in handling the ropes.
We have all the rope climbing equipment you need available on site at The Ledge – harness, belay device, locking carabiner, climbing shoes and chalk.
You’ll soon discover that rope climbing gives you an excellent full body workout, improves your grip strength, and enhances co-ordination. Besides the physical benefits you’ll find that doing rope climate stimulates your mental strength and grows your confidence.
Our gym offers a varied range of vertical activities, from bouldering to roped climbing, for energetic enthusiasts of all ages and stages who want to learn or perfect their climbing skills in a welcoming, supportive and inclusive environment.
If you’re out for fun, reaching for the stars, up for adventure, setting out some positive life goals or stretching your personal limits our experienced instructors and mentors will see you through your journey, from specialised kid’s classes through to coaching for aspiring Olympic climbers.
