Independent Competent Climber course
Gain Your Independence !!
We know life gets busy, and parents can’t always be on hand to supervise their young climbers. That’s why we’re offering our ROCKSTAR+ Independent Competent Climber Course for 14–17-year-olds!
Once passed candidates will be issued with a ROCKSTAR+ card that will enable them to climb independently on all future climbing sessions booked.
So while they climb, parents can take a well-earned break or tackle those never-ending Mum & Dad to-do lists.
