The Clickimin Climbing Wall opened officially on the 11th September 2006. Inductions for using the wall are carried out by qualified instructors, and, if you are already a climber, can be arranged by contacting us - See below. Climb Shetland have regular bookings at the wall where use is restricted for us.

It is essential that you sign in every time you are at a club evening. There will be a folder for this there.

There is no need to book a place on these nights. Just turn up.

You may also book the wall at any time subject to availability. Cost is £2.80 per person per hour and there is a minimum of 2 people required to use the wall.

Inductions

To climb at the wall you must have undertaken the induction. Induction sessions will be mentioned on the forum 1 week before. If you are already a climber, these will take place on club nights, and can be organised by contacting us. If you are not competent at belaying, tying in etc then you must attend a beginner's induction session.

Beginner's induction sessions will be organised by the Clickimin and are for complete beginners who do not own any of their own equipment, and do not know how to belay or tie in. There is a waiting list for these inductions; please ask the Clickimin for more details.

You cannot take someone to climb who has not been inducted, even under your supervision, unless they are your child, see below.

Children

The age restriction for the wall has now been waived and under 10s may now climb under the supervision of a parent or guardian who has been inducted. The adult must not climb, only belay the child. This applies for children up to the age of 14, but any child over 10 may do an induction which is recommended.

Our club nights are mainly for the adult members of the club, but children who have been inducted are welcome if supervised by a parent. In the future we may be running Youth Sessions, so if you are interested then please contact us.

Further Details

Harnesses, belay devices, helmets, chalk bags and rock shoes are available for hire at the Clickimin. Please ask to borrow equipment on a club evening, don't just help yourself.

Do not hesitate to contact us with any further enquiries, or post a message on the forum.

Grades

We are now using the French grading system for the wall. This is mainly to avoid comparisons to outdoor routes which are obviously very different! It is also the more common system for indoor walls. Grades are only approximate and will be confirmed and updated in the next few months.
