WHAT SHOULD I BOOK?

I’m an adult (With minimal experience) wanting to bring Under 18s:

-          The best thing to book is an Auto-Belay session.

-          https://www.ggclimbing.com/autobelays

-          We have unsupervised sessions where we show you how to look after them or alternatively book a supervised session where you can sit back, relax and let a member of our team look after your climber for the hour.

I’m an adult that has never tried climbing before:

-          An Auto-Belay session will get you up and climbing

-          https://www.ggclimbing.com/autobelays

-          If you would prefer to Boulder that’s okay, just pop in or give the centre a call, as there’s a little more paperwork to go through.

-          For the more social element we have Women’s Night on a Monday and Social Night on a Wednesday. Here you’ll meet other climbers, and our staff will be on hand to give you some tips.

Do I count as an experienced climber?

-          You’ll be able to put on your own harness

-          You’ll be able to clip yourself onto an auto-belay

-          You’ll know the normal bouldering safety guidelines

-          You don’t have to know how to belay or Top-Rope

-          Experienced climbers do not necessarily have their own kit – they just need less supervision

I’m an experienced (Adult) Climber coming for the first time:

-          There’s no need to pre-book Bouldering or Top-Ropes.

-          Auto-Belay access can be limited at busy times. Either check to see how busy we are via the live calendar before coming down or book your own session to guarantee access.

-          You can do the registration forms before coming on down

I’m an experienced U18 Climber coming for the first time:

-          16- and 17-year-olds can be signed off by their Parents or Guardians to climb at Golden Gecko unsupervised.

-          https://app.rockgympro.com/waiver/esign/goldengecko/71f9fc34-aec6-49bd-9f0a-22dd5ccee846

-          They will still have to undertake a rigorous (but free) assessment by the staff.

-          14- and 15-year-olds can be signed off to climb unsupervised but have to be known by the Golden Gecko staff for an extended period of time, the best way to accomplish this is to join the climbing clubs.

-          Under 13s must always be accompanied by adult unless on an instructed session.

-          Please give the centre a call to discuss further
