BEFORE YOUR FIRST VISIT.

BOOK AN INDUCTION

If you are a first time climber (or maybe haven’t climbed in a few years) we recommend you book onto one of our Adult or Family Inductions. These run at both Tottenham Hale and London Fields.

This is the safest way to get introduced to bouldering and will help give you a basic understanding of the sport. After your induction you get to climb for free and best of all; booking an induction is the cheapest way to visit Stronghold for the first time!

CAN’T FIND A SUITABLE INDUCTION TIME?

Whilst we highly recommend inductions for first time climbers, we understand that our induction time slots may not be suitable to you. You can visit us and boulder in our centres without booking an induction.

You are more than welcome to watch our induction video and complete a registration form prior to visiting the centres.

You will be expected to pass the safety questions at the reception so be sure to take note on the video and form!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Please note that there is a one-off £3 registration fee for all first time, 14yrs+, customers to Stronghold. This will only be paid once the registration process is completed at Stronghold reception.

Our lockers operate on a padlock system – please bring your own padlock if you wish to use a locker. There are padlocks available to purchase in our shop.

KIDS CLIMBING OPPORTUNITIES

WANT TO BRING THE KIDS?

 

Stronghold Climbing Centres are designed and built for adults more than kids. Our centres are not soft play areas. We do really want to help those kids who love to climb everything and anything so please head over to our Kids Page for everything you need to know about our kids classes.

SUPERVISING KIDS AT STRONGHOLD

 

You are more than welcome to bring your kids to Stronghold without any booking. We do ask that any children coming to climbing in the centre are supervised by an experienced Adult Climber. Our Child to Adult supervision ratios change depending on the centre and age of the children. For more information please take the time to read our full supervision policy.

Please note, if you are not an experienced adult climber and wish to bring children to our centres, you must book onto a family induction for your first visit to the centre.

JUNIORS AGED 14+

If you age 14+ you may be able to climb unsupervised. If you are an experienced junior climber you just need to have a parent or guardian fill out an unsupervised junior acknowledgment of risk form. We will need to ask you some questions on your first visit to make sure you know how to climb safely inside a bouldering centre.

If you have never climbed before but are over the age of 14, you can book onto an adult induction. Once you have passed this you will be free to climb in the centre unsupervised.

FIRST TIME CLIMBER?

Don’t worry! We offer Adult inductions all week long for just £15! That’s less than a normal adult entry, registration fee and shoes! Best of all, you can climb for as long as you want after the induction.
