Induction Sessions

This session is for climbers new to the sport, or new to indoor bouldering centres. The session introduces the basic safety and climbing skills to use our centres.

Note: we have temporarily suspended the sign in of novices by members. All beginners must book onto an induction session. Read more about our Covid-19 measures here.

Important Information about booking Induction classes

• you can book for up to a maximum of 6 people to attend an induction session.
• a ratio of 1 adult per under 18 climber must be adhered to at The Valley, or 1 adult per 2 under 18 climbers at The Pool. Adults must participate fully; this is not a kids coaching session. 
• Note that under 7s are not permitted to climb at our Ouseburn centre, The Valley, and we strongly recommend induction sessions at The Pool for all under 18s, where the climbing is tailored specifically for younger climbers.
• All participants in the session should complete our centre registration prior to the session.
• sessions are around 45 minutes in length. You can continue to climb afterwards (typical visit times are two hours in total).
• Induction sessions are £15 for adults, £10 for under 18s and include shoe hire.

Please note: induction sessions close once someone books on, as they are private sessions. If you want to be added to a session that a friend has booked then please drop us an e-mail to info@climbnewcastle.com and we can add you to the booking.
