Bouldering is indoor climbing without ropes, using padded mats for safety. Climbs are shorter but powerful, making it fun and accessible for all skill levels.
You can rent climbing shoes and chalk at reception. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a reusable water bottle – refilling stations are available.
This applies to all our Direct Debit customers: Green Card, Green Card Plus, kids club (Academy, Rock Ninjas, Little Monkeys), Adult Development Class, K&S memberships.
We are unable to pause accounts, due to the sheer volume of membership customers across our three sites and the frequency with which this may be required. Unfortunately the administration is unfeasible.
If you know that you will be unable to use your membership for a longer period of time e.g. Summer holidays, you have two options available to you:
- Retain membership over the summer holidays.
- Cancel membership, but please note that we ask for a month’s written notice. You can then reinstate membership just before September.
For Club customers:
Please note that for club customers we charge for 48 weeks rather than 52 to allow for holiday and illness absences. If you do cancel over the summer, we cannot guarantee a space in the same club.
Please email accounts@chimeraclimbing.com giving a brief description of your injury / illness. We will cancel your subsequent invoices and raise a credit note for you, where appropriate. Any credits will be applied to invoicing when you return. We request that you email accounts@chimeraclimbing.com when you are ready to return and we will reactivate your membership and access.

Yes – both are available to rent or purchase.
Some independent businesses run regular coaching sessions at Chimera. These external providers operate independently and do not pay Chimera to use our facilities. We do not receive any share of their coaching revenue.
All we ask is that participants cover the cost of entry.
For those customers who commit to monthly coaching arrangements with external providers on our premises, we ask that they also sign up for Chimera’s Monthly Green Card. This ensures that access is valid, simplifies administration, and is cheaper than paying standard entry each time.
We appreciate your support in helping us keep Chimera centres running fairly for everyone.
For more details about running instructed sessions at Chimera, please contact: coachingmanager@chimeraclimbing.com
Yes – we run kids’ clubs at all centres:
• Little Monkeys (ages 5–7)
• Rock Ninjas (ages 8–11)
• Academy (ages 12–16)
