The Taster is a 1.25-hour bouldering session suitable for kids aged 7 – 17, and parents/carers too!

If you have never climbed, our Taster Sessions are an awesome way to try bouldering and learn some key techniques so you can come back and climb any time!

Our free COAST sessions are generously supported and funded by Swansea Council’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

We are hearing reports (from Wales Online) of a Stand Up to Racism demonstration in the centre of town on Sunday (11th Aug). We hope that this gathering will echo the incredible show of unity seen up and down the country on Wednesday.

However, as we are located close to the city centre, we will be vigilant and if we suspect any trouble we are likely to close without warning.

To repeat what we said on Wednesday, we are a proudly multi-cultural community, whether that be those who work for us or climb with us. Diversity is a strength, and while we, along with the rest of the climbing industry, can do better, we are proud of how far we have come so far.

If you are planning to visit us, please plan your journey carefully.

If you are planning to peacefully join the demonstration, we hope it goes well and everyone stays safe.

We're so grateful for all the feedback we get - it keeps us growing! We've been thrilled to see all the recent Kids Clubs feedback too!

If you've got a spare few minutes, please consider leaving us a Google review. Each month, one reviewer will win a £10 cash voucher to use at any of our centres - all you have to do is make sure your Google name is the same as on our system so we can find you and assign the voucher!

Fancy watching the climbing with us? We're going to be showing the climbing in the Cafe! Come for a climb and stay to watch even more climbing!

(Obviously, we'll be supporting team GB, but who doesn't love Janja?)

We're filming and photographing throughout the centre tomorrow afternoon 📷 (17th July)!

Come on down for a climb and get involved - you're more than welcome to copies of the photos, plus tea and coffee (of course)! ☕

P.S Don't worry if you're a little camera shy, just chat to us when you arrive and we'll make sure you're not in frame.

We're launching two new sessions this summer! Oh, and they're FREE! 🎉⁠

⚡Kids & Family Taster Session. (Saturday-Thursday)
⚡Over 50's Taster Session. (Fridays)

All sessions include pizza, shoe hire and fun, guaranteed!😋

This project is supported by Shared Prosperity COAST funding. Big thanks to them!

We're super psyched to offer these free sessions to the Swansea community, so please share this with friends and family who have yet to catch the climbing bug! The sessions are free, but they are first come, first served—please only book one session, as these are for new climbers!
