There will then be a short walk to the climbing location where we will lay out the bouldering pads and start climbing. You’ll be guided through movement skills and key safety skills by your instructor, ensuring you get the most out of your experience.<\/p>\n<\/div> This session is ideal for anyone looking to try bouldering for the first time, or for those who have done it a few times before and want to brush up on their skills. It has been particularly popular with: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under 18\u2019s are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent throughout the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have never climbed before, you may wish for a Roped Climbing Session<\/a> instead, where we will do some top roping. Here the climbing movements are a little easier and you get the adventure of climbing higher with the safety of a rope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our base is in Aberdeen where the closest bouldering is on sea cliffs just 10 minutes drive from the city centre – near Cove. There is also good bouldering near Portlethen and Newtontill. Further afield there is good bouldering too at \u201cKattys leap\u201d at Rosehearty, near Fraserburgh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking for a different location?
