Clip and Climb
Clip ‘n Climb provides a number of colourful and adventurous climbing walls designed to be multi-generational, appealing to both children and adult climbers. These exciting state-of-the-art climbing wall systems create fun experiences in a safe, supervised environment, from ages 4 and up. Bring the kids, bring the parents, bring your trainers and bring it on.
Extreme Climb sessions include a quick induction so you’re ready to scale the heights. And each 7.5m climbing panel has auto belay (think of it as an automatic safety rope) to take up the slack as you climb then lower you gently and securely to the floor.
