Our note
The rate is per student and drops at 13 or more, so a full class costs less per head than a half group. Pin down which tier you are in before you commit. Every child needs a waiver signed by their own parent or guardian, so send those home a week ahead rather than handing them out at the door.
What the children do
A 2 hour beginner lesson booked for a school group: putting on a harness, tying knots and managing the rope belay systems, after which the group climbs. Rental equipment for the lesson and two weeks of free entry to the gym are included, though gear is not included in the two-week entry. $69 per person for groups of 6-12 and $59 per person for 13 or more; rates are per person and taxes are extra. Advance booking required through the group booking form. A separate, unpriced 2.5 hour 'Group Beginner Lesson' for general groups is described on the Group Lesson page.
Each student puts on a harness, ties a figure-eight knot and learns to belay a partner from the floor, then takes turns climbing the gym's 15m walls under staff supervision.
Good to know
Indoors on Pandora Avenue with all lesson gear included and a two-week free entry pass afterwards. Washrooms, a lunch space, bus parking and the session start times are not published, so ask when you book.
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.
