In this session kids learn how to be safe climbers, they learn the basics of climbing technique, and bottom rope belaying. They then move on to develop their technique and fitness levels and they will learn how to safely lead climb and belay. The club also runs trips to other climbing venues, as well as outdoor crags during the warmer months.  Kids can use their own equipment or hire harness, shoes etc from the Peak at a reasonable fee.  A reduced rate is available for Peak wall members who attend Spiders sessions.

Our second general group, see information above. Children move between groups as numbers and lives change.  We aim to provide a coherent mix of ages and abilities but aim for everybody in the club to get to know each other regardless of which group they are currently attending.
