WELCOME
At The Ordinary Climbers, our mission is to provide our patrons of all ages a fun and safe environment in which they can exercise, socialize, and gain new climbing skills. By focusing on these fundamental qualities, the friendly and knowledgeable staff create an environment that is welcoming to wanting to try climbing for the first time as well as to the experienced climber.
With facilities for roped climbing and bouldering, we are certain there is something for everyone.
NEW TO CLIMBING?
instructed sessions If you are a new climber or have a few sessions under your belt, we’ve got you. Our Instructed Sessions are perfect for the beginner or someone who hasn't climbed for a while. Sessions will be 1h which will involve use of the Bouldering Room and Roped Training Wall. After this our staff will happily discuss through the session and offer more classes if needed.
Price : £19.00 per 1h session (including harness)
CLIMB WITHOUT ROPES
Bouldering Come down and climb in our boulder room and new upstairs boulder cave! Alongside our boulder cave we have added a specialised calisthenics weight room for all of those looking to train alongside their climbing. They go perfectly hand in hand. Booking is essential.
(On Thursday's between 18:00 and 19:00, our upstairs bouldering cave is closed for yoga)
£12 per session
WANT TO LEARN TO BELAY? Competency to climbing course (3c's) Our 3C's course takes place over 2 consecutive Saturday Mornings (we're flexible if you can't do Saturdays) and teaches you everything you need to know about belaying someone on top-rope.

Experience
A WORD ON SAFETY Climbing is inherently risky and we at The Ordinary Climbers will put you're safety first always. The need for safety systems beyond reproach is obvious. The equipment developed by the climbing industry doesn’t fail when used properly. But the system is passive—participants must engage. This dictates the need for personal responsibility to allow the sport we love to exist indoors at all. The primary purpose of our liability release is to establish an agreement on this principle. Without this agreement, we cannot allow the use of our facilities.
We will help you with guidelines of review, and rules during climbing, that we feel minimize the chance of injury to a participant. Our tests are not certifications or training. We have found the primary cause of a mistake on the part of a climber to be inattentiveness. Our philosophy regarding the safety protocol for climbing and belaying is to focus on principle, and not specific method—the brake hand must not leave the rope, for instance, but how you do that is somewhat up to you.
Regarding lead climbing—if climbing is risky, lead climbing is simply dangerous. While The Ordinary Climbers supports this form of climbing by placing draws on most walls, lead climbing in our gyms should not be practiced by anyone but experienced climbers.
