Bouldering is a very accessible sport and there is no minimum age limit for bringing children to climb at ChalkUp Bouldering. With a low level boulder wall specifically for children, it's perfect for tiny climbers aged 8-10 years old.

After that, children will find the lower grade climbs on the adult wall are suitable for them. Ultimately, it is up to the supervising adult to decide where they should be.

• ‍Children aged up to 5 will only be allowed on the children's wall, for their safety and that of other wall users.‍
• Children up to 16 years of age require supervision by a responsible adult.‍‍
• Supervision is an active process, requiring constant presence within arm’s reach.‍
• One non-climbing adult may supervise 2 children aged 6-15, or one child aged up to 5.‍
• An adult may climb at the same session as up to 2 children aged 10-15. The safety and behaviour remains the responsibility of this adult.
• Children aged up to 5 may only use the dedicated Children's boulder room.
• Please inform the front desk on arrival who you are supervising at that session.‍
• Supervising for Age 16: Any responsible adult is able to undertake supervision. If the supervisor is not the parent or legal guardian of the supervisee who has signed the Acknowledgement of Risk form, there will be an additional form to be signed.‍
• All children up to 16 years of age must be accompanied when in the centre, even if not climbing.

‍‍Signing up Children Climbing Sessions:

The signup process can be complicated, owing to the legal need for parental permission to use our facilities. If you follow these instructions it should help you get the accounts set up properly so you have a smooth check-in process on arrival.

‍Step 1: The supervising adult who will be present at the time of the session should sign up using the relevant tickets. There is no charge for supervising.‍ You will be guided through signing an Acknowledgement of Risk form which describes the behaviour that we require to keep everyone safe when using our facilities.

‍Step 2: If the supervising adult is also the parent or legal guardian of the child, they can go on to purchase the session on the child's account. The links are given at the end of the Supervision sign up process and also below. If the supervising adult is not the parent or legal guardian of the child, the team require the parent or legal guardian to use this link to sign the Acknowledgement of Risk form.

Please note: You will not be able to climb with anyone under the age of 10 until they are 10 years old. Children aged 5 and under may not enter the adult climbing area. Children aged 5 and under require 1:1 supervision.
