SIGNING IN

Upon arrival you will need to sign in. Our team will be more than happy to help you with this should you need it. Our desk has a low counter available and our registration tablets can be disconnected and handed to you. Alternatively you may prefer to register ONLINE before arriving.

CLIMBING

All independent climbers need to pass a safety test and where it is possible to make reasonable adjustments, we will do so providing safety is not compromised.

If attending an instructed session we will provide you with an appropriately trained instructor to match your requirements.

INCLUSIVITY & DIVERSITY

Our climbing community is key to everything we do here. From our staff team to our climbers, we aim to provide an inclusive environment where everyone can express themselves freely and achieve their goals.
We welcome anyone regardless of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ethnicity, fitness level, socioeconomic status or disability, and will not tolerate discrimination in any form.

We want the centre to be a place where people can connect with themselves and others, and are proud to call the wonderfully diverse cultures of Brighton & Hove our community.
