About High Sports Brighton
One of the largest indoor climbing centres in the South East, High Sports Brighton is a great place for hours of fun, adventure and learning new skills. With over 58 roped lines and 9 auto belay lines, as well as a bouldering area, there are plenty of routes and problems to tackle and vertical ascents to conquer. Perfect for families looking to keep active together and have fun along the way!
Beginner climbers -
The whole family can try something new together! Or, keep the kids entertained whilst you put your feet up. There are multiple options at High Sports to get everyone climbing safely and kick-start plenty more climbing sessions to come without the need for an instructor:
* Intro sessions – One hour session that introduces you to, and allows you to experience, all areas of the climbing centre, including the roped climbs. After which you should be equipped with the knowledge to climb in both the bouldering area and on the auto belays safely and independently.
* Auto-belay induction – Half hour session that covers all you need to know to not only climb on the auto belays and in the bouldering area, but also supervise up to two novices in these areas.
* RockStart – The one that not only covers the auto belays and bouldering area, but also introduces you to top rope climbing, teaching you how to do so safely and how to belay another person climbing. This course is offered either as a weekend intensive or three sessions over the course of three weeks.
* Private 1:1 or 1:2 sessions – The other sessions not fitting with what you want? You’re welcome to book a private session to cover what you would like, or whatever most interests the kids!
Experienced climbers:
If you already have experience climbing, or have taken one of the above courses, all you need to do is take our quick safety test. After which you have free range of whichever areas of the centre you have passed the safety test for. You can also supervise up to two novices or children per experienced adult.
High Sports Brighton is not only an ideal place for a family fun day out, but also a way of encouraging skills development, problem solving and an active lifestyle through climbing, with the possibility of igniting a lifelong passion.
