Class questions
Before you book
Do I need my own equipment?
No. Suitable rental shoes, harnesses and belay equipment are available for entry-level sessions.
Can I join if I am nervous about heights?
Yes. Tell the coach before the session. Progress is gradual and you control how high you climb.
Will I pass a lead assessment after the course?
The course prepares you for assessment, but independent access depends on demonstrating consistent skills.
