Activity Information

Climbing
Fellow group members will master the art of belaying as you develop your climbing technique on our purpose-built wall. Develop your confidence at height and trust in your team-mates.
Full covered shoes are required. Wearing old trainers rather than boots allows you to get your feet into the cracks you wouldn’t if you had boots on. Skirts and dresses are not suitable for this activity.

Crate Stacking
Standing on top of the stack, how high can you build it before it comes crashing down? Requiring balance and confidence, this activity will push you to your personal limits whilst encouraging teamwork and communication. With the crates being hard plastic, it is advised that you wear trousers and long-sleeved tops because if a crate falls and hits you without any protection then it might graze your skin and it hurts!
Full covered shoes are required. Skirts and dresses are not suitable for this activity.

The Cube
The Cube is a dark maze that anyone can get lost in. You need to have the determination to finish this maze because if not then you could be lost in there for good. Do you have what it takes to escape the cube?
Full covered shoes are required. Long sleeves and trousers should be worn for this activity.

All activities involve the use of helmets so to speed up the process of fitting a helmet and improve user comfort, long hair should be in a low ponytail or other style that allows a helmet to fit over. (Headscarves can be accommodated providing the hair style underneath permits it).

Suggested kit
