Our NICAS (National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme) clubs are structured, weekly lessons for ages 7+ aimed at developing climbers’ skills & techniques in a fun, social & safe environment.

The best athletes have to start somewhere right? NICAS is THAT place for climbers!
We are a '“NICAS Climb Primary Centre” which allows us to offer the entire syllabus from beginners right throguh to those looking to compete at the highest level. If competing is not the goal, no problem - enrolling on the scheme will allow climbers to gain the skills needed to enjoy a lifetime of climbing and make great friends along the way.

Level 1 & 2 focus on developing beginners into competent climbers with a focus on safety, rules and basic movement.
Level 3 takes those skills and builds on them by exposing candidates to advanced techniques as well as exploring the history and thics of climbing. By passing level 3 candidates will have met the standard equivalent to a pass at GCSE level.
Upon reaching Level 4, climbers will be introduced to ‘Lead Climbing’ and will learn everything from clipping to rope management and advanced belaying techniques. A pass at level 4 is equivalent to an A Level pass.
