The Centre also offers an introduction taster session for families or just a group of friends. These sessions are led by one of the instructors who will work with everyone, taking each one through a set range of routes. This session will usually take about ninety minutes to complete and enables everyone in the group to achieve to the best of their ability, offering a really good taster of indoor climbing.
