First time going here, and I thought it was pretty good. Bouldering has plenty of routes of mixed difficulty, and there are a few climbs on auto belay. When I went, most of the main room was set up f… Full review by rowlands1893

Hi Jenny, I would recommend CrazyClimb for your grandchildren. They will get to try over 15 different wacky climbing challenges and no training is required so they will get a full hour of climbing fun. Prices are £13 per person at off-peak times and £18 per person at peak times. Email or phone the centre if you need any further information. You can also check current availability and book on the website.
I note there is a 'chic', only female session on Mondays. Can I suggest, in the interests of gender equality hat you have a Bloke's session too. While we are at it since you are operating in a strong Welsh speaking area why not a Welsh language only session too. The point is pandering to demographics you exclude other groups which is discrimination. What is your point in having a female only session?

Hello Keith, National studies have shown, and continue to show, that men play more sport than women. This fact is also backed up by analysis of our own participation data at Beacon Climbing Centre. We want to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy climbing regardless of gender, age or ability and we feel that investing in women’s participation can play an important role in developing a cycle of positive engagement with physical activity. To answer your question: An awareness of the motives and barriers for women’s participation has been the starting point for our policies to increase female participation. Our female only sessions aim to provide a comfortable, encouraging and sociable atmosphere that contributes to a positive spiral of higher participation and leads to healthier and happier individuals. Group participation sessions, whether gender or language based are often peer driven (as has been the case with our female only sessions) and we absolutely welcome your contribution, should you decide to organise specific gender or language based sessions. Regarding your accusation of discrimination on our part, please note that providing a special club or arrangement for a particular group of people or for a particular reason doesn't discriminate against others, unless they are disadvantaged as a result. Best regards The Beacon team

Hi Mike, Beacon would be an awesome experience for a group of adults. It's a really engaging and sociable activity tailored to the abilities of each individual within the group, making it perfect as a group experieince. I would recommend contacting us and booking a Group Taster. This would be a private introductory session at £95/group for 4-7 people or £13/peron for 8+ people. We hope to see you here soon!
