Come and enjoy a free climbing taster session at Warwick University’s state of the art climbing centre in Coventry.

Over the session, you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself on the ropes and the bouldering wall as well as get tips and advice on how to improve your climbing.

This climbing centre is accredited to deliver NICAS Ascend: https://nicas.co.uk/schemes/ascend/

If you enjoy yourself on this session and would then like to start working towards your NICAS Ascend award, instructors on the day will talk you through how they can support you at the centre to achieve it. VICTA can also help you get started by covering the cost of the logbook and your first climbing session (proof of attendance required).
