This December, The Climbing Academy (TCA) is throwing open its doors for some FREE Open Days! If you’ve ever wanted to try climbing, this is your perfect chance to get involved with no cost attached – for adults, families and kids.

This offer is available at The Newsroom in Kinning Park and The Prop Store in Maryhill for new customers to TCA only. We operate an adult to child ratio of 1:2 which will need to be observed at all times so please take this into consideration when attending.

What’s Happening?
We’re giving new climbers the chance to come down to TCA and give climbing a try, absolutely free (including shoe hire)! Whether you prefer to dive straight in or get a structured introduction, we have options for everyone.

1. Go Independent (Just Walk In!)
For those who are ready to hit the mats straight away, you can head down independently and have a go at bouldering yourself!

How it works: All you need to do is fill out a simple registration form before you arrive.

Safety First: Your first entry includes a full safety briefing, starting with a safety video at the beginning of the form process. Once you’re briefed, you’re good to go!

2. FREE Bouldering Inductions (Booking Required)
If you’d like a more guided experience to learn the basics of climbing and get a tour of the centre before you start, you can book a Bouldering Induction for FREE!

Action: Check the links below to secure your spot, as spaces will fill up fast!

3. Extra Perk at The Prop Store (Maryhill site)
Attending our Maryhill site, The Prop Store? You’ll also get a FREE auto-belay induction! This means you can give our roped area a shot using the safety of our automatic belay devices.

4. FREE Mince Pie and Tea or Americano
After your session, sit back and relax in our cafe and enjoy a hot drink and mince pie on us! The perfect way to soak in your experience and reminisce on all the fun you’ve had.

5. Take advantage of our 2 for 1 offer on the day
You’ll also get the added bonus of a one-time deal where you can pay for your next 2 entries for just £10. Just ask a staff member on the day to process this for you.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
