Do I have to pre-book to climb?
No. If you’ve never been to a Boulders climbing wall before, you can register before arriving at the centre to save time.
I know how to safely use an indoor bouldering facility, do I have to do an induction or Give It A Go session?
Not at all. If you’re an experienced boulderer and know what you’re doing you can self-certify as competent and come along and boulder any time you like. If you haven’t climbed with Boulders before, you can register before arriving at the centre to save time.
I’ve climbed at Boulders Cardiff before, do I have to register again?
Nope!
How often do you set new blocs?
We set every week, with most blocs being on a 4-6 week rotation. We think this is a good balance of giving people time to work on their projects without the blocs getting stale.
Yes, you can! There is an additional cost, so please ask when buying your entry pass. Your climbing shoes should fit snugly but not be painful. If in doubt, ask a member of staff to help you.
Can I hire climbing shoes?
Yes, you can supervise your children at Boulders as long as your child is aged two or over. As a competent boulderer you can supervise up to two novices. You will need to make sure that you and your children are registered here before attending, and you must sign them in at reception when you arrive.
I’m a competent boulderer. Can I supervise my children?
You can use the gym equipment in the centre if you are over 18 and feel competent to do so. Under 18s cannot use the gym equipment.
Who can use the gym?
Yes there are! We have classes for children which are fully supervised by Boulders instructors. No experience is necessary, as these classes will introduce children to the sport in a fun and friendly environment.
Children should wear comfy sports clothing (joggers and a t-shirt is ideal!) and trainers. Long hair must be tied back and no dangling jewellery is allowed.
If the child has not attended a session with us before, they will need to have a registration form completed by a parent or guardian before they can climb.
