Our note
Price the whole series, not the lesson. The $49 start plus four climbing sessions lands near $130 a student before tax. The upside is that students who pass the belay test can then use the gym outside the booked times, which is worth flagging to families.
What the children do
A series for school groups: a beginner lesson in the first session, then 3 or more climbing sessions at a preset time. $49 per student for the lesson and $20 per student for each climbing session. Skills are reviewed the following week by staff before students climb independently, and shoe and harness rentals are included in the cost of the series. Minimum 6 students, maximum 15. Ages 12+. Rates are per person and taxes are extra; advance booking required.
Students learn to put on a harness, tie the knots and manage a top-rope belay in the first session, have those skills checked the following week, then come back on a set schedule to climb and boulder with staff on the floor.
Good to know
All gear is included for the whole series and the group size is capped at 15, so one class group fits and a grade does not. Washrooms, lunch space, session lengths and which months the series runs are not published.
Sources disagree. Their group page has shown two different prices, one with a ten climber minimum and one with no price at all. Ask for the price in writing.
