Youth Climbing Club
Our Youth Climbing Club is a monthly program designed for youth climbers (10-15 years of age) interested in developing their passion for climbing further. Our goal is to equip climbers with the skills to make their own decisions regarding their progression, and to support their long-term development in climbing. Participants will establish goals to monitor their progress, develop a positive mindset, and focus on specific climbing training. We’ll be following the NICAS Bouldering scheme. NICAS Bouldering is an international scheme designed to introduce participants to bouldering through a structured programme. This scheme covers techniques, movement skills, and problem-solving skills specific to bouldering.
Climbers are encouraged to sign up for multiple monthly coaching blocks, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is high demand, additional coaching blocks may be added.
How does it work?
Our NICAS Bouldering scheme has 3 different levels, each with its own set of skills and challenges:
NICAS Bouldering Levels
- New Boulderer
Aimed at introducing people to bouldering, including basic balance and movement skills, warm ups and warm downs, bouldering lingo and how to boulder safely. - Foundation Boulderer
Level 2 looks at bouldering equipment, how to read a route, and grading systems, while continuing safe behaviour and further developing movement techniques. - Competent Boulderer
This level corresponds to most bouldering gyms’ membership standards, and aims to ensure learners gain the knowledge and skills to boulder safely and responsibly at any bouldering facility. It explores spotting, risk management, hold types and advanced movement techniques.
