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.
Direct Debits are collected on 1st of each month. It generally takes a week to confirm and 10 days for your payment to reach Chimera.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of altering your collection date, please email accounts@chimeraclimbing.com
