Kids climbing & Hoppers
Kids Climbing
With over 30 uniquely themed climbing walls and kid-focused activities, Vertical Adventures is the ultimate starting point for young climbers to learn, play, and grow.
Our state-of-the-art automatic belays make climbing accessible for family outings, school trips and children’s birthday parties. Watch your kids’ faces light up as they conquer their fears and master our themed climbing walls. No special climbing gear required. Simply come along in comfortable, free-flowing clothes (jeans and skirts are not recommended) and closed-toed shoes, and our friendly staff will get you fitted for a harness and on the wall.
Rock Hoppers Classes / Ages 8-18
Our Rock Hoppers program is designed for young climbers of all skill levels — from absolute beginners to advanced athletes. These dynamic classes focus on building essential climbing and belay skills, rope and gear knowledge, and movement techniques, all in a safe and fun environment.
Students progress through a structured 6-level system, with each level building on the last. From mastering basic knots and supervised belaying in Level 1 to developing skills in lead climbing, abseiling, and even trad climbing by Level 6, there’s always a new challenge to conquer.
Climbers work toward their level goals over the course of the term, with instructors tracking progress and celebrating milestones. Dedicated students can achieve up to two levels per year and earn certificates and relevant harness tags as they climb the ranks.
Whether you’re just getting started or training for outdoor adventures, Rock Hoppers is the perfect place to grow, climb, and have a blast doing it.

4.30pm to 6:00pm

Pricing & Access
Rock Hoppers membership is billed monthly, with a small one-off instructor fee charged at the start of each term. We’ve made things simple by spreading the annual fee evenly over 12 months.
Membership includes unlimited access to the gym during all open hours — so Hoppers can climb as often as they like, from once a week to every day! Harnesses and climbing shoes are provided at no extra cost, or students are welcome to use their own gear.
Please note: While general training is covered, competitions and special events may carry a small additional fee if your child chooses to participate.
