Junior Climbing Supervision

Supervision of under 18 climbers at Gallery Bouldering

We welcome under 18 climbers at Gallery Bouldering, but we require dedicated and competent supervision at all times.  Whilst we have made every effort to make Gallery Bouldering as safe as possible, climbing is an extreme sport and comes with the risk of serious injury – both to the under 18s under supervision, and to other climbers.

Normally, every under 18 who wants to climb at Gallery Bouldering must be accompanied by an adult who has completed our training and assessment process in order to become a Junior Climbing Supervisor. An adult who has successfully completed this process can supervise up to two junior climbers at the same time.

Step 1: Register as normal on our website, and then come in for our 30 minute Junior Climbing Supervisor training course, which costs £10 per adult. These run as a drop-in session at 11am every Tuesday and Sunday.  You don’t need to book for these times.

If you can’t make those slots, then email us at training@gallerybouldering.co.uk and we will book a specific time that better suits you.  Please don’t turn up and expect us to run this course with no warning - it is unlikely that we will have staff available if we don’t know you’re coming.

We ask that you do not bring your children with you to this course, unless they are old enough to look after themselves for the 30 minutes, either in our cafe or our sofa area.  We need participants to be able to focus on the course content.

Step 2: Complete our Junior Climbing Supervisor assessment, which usually takes about five minutes.  We can then register your children to your account and you’ll be able to bring them in at any time.  If you are not climbing yourself, you come in for free.

Step 1: Register as normal on our website, and then come in and complete our normal climbing induction process.  

Step 2: Complete our Junior Climbing Supervisor assessment, which usually takes about five minutes.  We can then register your children to your account and you’ll be able to bring them in at any time.  If you are not climbing yourself, you come in for free.

Once an adult has passed the Junior Climbing Supervisor assessment, they have the option of supplementing this with our free autobelay induction.  It is obligatory to have taken this autobelay induction before using the autobelays.

Children below the age of 14 must always be supervised.  If a child is 14 years old or above, and has already visited for at least two supervised sessions, there is the option of allowing them to take our Unsupervised Junior Assessment.  Upon successfully passing this free assessment, 14 to 17 year olds will be able to climb at Gallery Bouldering without adult supervision. Please note that taking this assessment requires both the candidate and their parent or guardian to be present.

Note that a child who has completed the Unsupervised Junior Assessment will have the option of going on to take their own autobelay induction, to allow them to use the autobelays unsupervised.
