Foundry Mountain Activities

Our clubs are for young climbers from 7 to 17 years of age and will take climbers from the very first indoor climb to skilled, safe use of the centre. We welcome all abilities and many of our past club members have gone on to become independent and experienced climbers.

We deliver the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme which provides an excellent tool for structured development and recognition of a young climber’s achievements.

After progressing through top rope climbing and bouldering many young climbers want to take their first steps as a lead climber. When this should happen is a decision shared by the young climber, parents and instructors and these sessions provide an opportunity to learn the skills in a structured and controlled way. After several sessions in this club and on reaching NICAS level 4 the young person will be able to return to our house clubs as a lead climber.
