Indirock Carrot Climbs

Introducing “Carrot” Climbs: Exciting Adventures for Our Youngest Climbers!

At Indirock, we’re thrilled to announce a new addition to our climbing offerings: “Carrot” Climbs, specially designed for our youngest adventurers aged 4 and 5! Our centre manager, Johnny Stratford, always says “Indirock is an adult playground that children can also enjoy”. While we embrace this philosophy, we recognize the importance of prioritizing safety, especially when it comes to our youngest climbers.

Safety First:

As much as we want our climbing gym to be a place of fun and adventure, safety remains our top priority.

One adult can supervise two 6-17 year olds. For children aged 4 or 5 years, one adult can only supervise one child (see below).

If you’re supervising any under 18s, you’ll also need to register yourself even if you’re not climbing.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for our 4 and 5 year old climbers, we’ve implemented the following safety measures:

  • 1:1 Supervision: 4 and 5-year-olds must be supervised on a 1:1 basis by an adult at all times during their climbing sessions.
  • No Climbing for Supervisors: Adults supervising 4 and 5 year olds are kindly asked not to engage in climbing activities themselves, allowing them to focus entirely on ensuring the safety and well-being of the child.
  • Hand-Holding: While walking through the climbing center, we strongly recommend holding the hand of your 4 or 5-year-old to keep them as safe as possible.
  • Height Limitation: 4 and 5 year old climbers should not ascend higher than the point where their supervisor can comfortably reach their hips, ensuring they remain within safe reach at all times.
  • Session Timing: Climbing sessions for 4 and 5-year-olds must conclude before 6pm.

 

Introducing “Carrot” Climbs:

We understand that bringing young children to a climbing gym can be intimidating, especially when traditional routes may pose challenges for their age and size. That’s why we’re excited to introduce “Carrot” Climbs—a child-friendly solution tailored specifically for our youngest adventurers.

These specially designed climbs feature vibrant orange and green holds, strategically placed throughout our center to provide a fun and approachable climbing experience for 4 and 5-year-olds. Unlike traditional routes, which may be difficult for young climbers to reach, our “Carrot” Climbs are designed to be more accessible, encouraging children to explore and conquer at their own pace.

Traverse Wall Revamp:

In addition to our “Carrot” Climbs, we’ve revamped our traverse wall to cater specifically to young climbers and beginners. With a variety of beginner-friendly routes, our traverse wall is the perfect place for first-time climbers to dip their toes into the world of climbing or for seasoned climbers to warm up before tackling more challenging routes.
