The Junior Sign-Off is for experienced 14-17-year-old climbers who wish to use the wall without a parent or instructor supervising them. It is a 1:1 assessment with an instructor lasting up to 60 minutes and costs £25. Children can be assessed for bouldering only, top rope climbing and / or lead climbing. During the assessment we will ask the child to demonstrate best practise in all areas of their chosen climbing discipline. A top tope assessment, for example, will include asking the child to correctly fit their own harness, tie in with a suitable climbing knot and belay a live climber. At the end of the assessment the instructor will decide if the climber has met the standards required to use the centre independently.
A second person is required to climb for the junior sign-off, but this person does not need to be experienced in climbing, knot-tying or belaying. Please note, children under 16 must have a parent / guardian present in the building during any independent climbing sessions.
To book a junior sign-off please call us on 01483 683689.
NICAS is a nationally-recognised scheme by the Association of British Climbing which helps to standardise the teaching and coaching of young climbers in an engaging manner.
The key aim is to provide a safe introduction to climbing for young people aged 7 years and up on artificial climbing structures. Those who are keen to progress through to the higher levels also start to look wider and learn more about the history, ethics and styles of both indoor and outdoor climbing.
There are approximately 240 centres that run the ABC’s schemes. Between them they have introduced over 120,000 young people to climbing. With logbooks to work through and certificates for achievement, the climber, parent and coach, can easily monitor and record skill development and progression through the sport.
The five levels of NICAS are:
Our NICAS sessions run after-school, and at weekends. Levels 1-4 cost £162 for a 12-week term, whilst Level 5 costs £192. Sessions are 90 minutes long (with the exception of Level 5 at 2 hour-long sessions) and are weekly. Priority booking is given to students from the previous term, but we are always welcoming new climbers of all ages to join us!
All three English GCSE and A-level exam boards (AQA, Edexcel and OCR) recognise NICAS as a means to teach climbing, hence candidates who have passed Level 3 meet the GCSE requirements. The NICAS scheme can also be used towards Duke of Edinburgh, Scouting, A-Level and BTEC qualifications.
Spring Term 2021 Bookings for existing students will open on Monday 2nd November, and for new students on Tuesday 1st December.
