I have no previous climbing experience, is Clip 'n Climb for me?

Clip ‘n Climb is designed to be fun for all people 4 and up.  The difficulty of our challenges vary so there’s something for everyone to have a go at, from beginners to experts. Our staff will also be there to assist with those less confident. And we can make it harder if needed of course!

How long do Clip 'n Climb sessions last?

85 Minutes – Sessions comprise of a 30 minute safety briefing and harness fitting beginning sharp on the hour, followed by 55 minutes in the space.

When do I need to arrive?

For a regular climbing session, please arrive at least 5 minutes before your session so we can ensure you are signed in and ready for briefing.

For a birthday party, please arrive 10 minutes before your session.

It is best to let your party guests know to arrive with plenty of time before the training start time.

In our experience, it’s valuable saying 15 minutes to allow for “late comers”. Although we will do our best to accommodate late guests by doing extra harnessing & training sessions (within reason), it is not possible for us to extend their climbing time, so it is always in their best interest to show up on time and make the most of their 1-hour climb time.

Is there parking on site?

The closest car park is at Penine Retail Park, Horton Street, Halifax HX1 1QE. Charges are 60p per hour

What is Mini Mountaineers+?

Mini Mountaineers+ is a session for 2-4 year olds who also have a sibling up to the age of 8 that would like to climb, helping them develop their skills in a fun climbing environment without any bigger kids around. While 2-4 year olds can climb without a sibling, a child in this age range must be included in the booking to add a 5-8 year old. Each child aged 2-4 will need to be accompanied by an adult in the climbing arena. There will be no adults climbing during this session.
