This event is for Supervisor Permits Only, Please see separate event for Leadership Permits (same day but a shorter assessment)

We get a lot of people who know how to climb and want to skip training, this is usually not possible. Being a great personal climber is fab, but the permit syllabus contains group management, rescuing climbers, risk assessment, POR and more. There will be a training course advertised shortly (you cannot do training and assessment on the same day as you will need to go away and practice)

This event is to assess you for a Supervisory Top-rope Climbing Permit to take members onto artificial climbing walls owned by the Scouts such as Forest Camp, or public walls that accept the permit, such as Northwest Face in Warrington.

The cost is your entry to the climbing wall, which is around £12.00 per person, needs to be paid on arrival.

You will also have to hire a harness and climbing shoes if you don’t have them. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move about in. You will also need a warm coat as the wall can be chilly, even in May.

Please also bring your own lunch.

If you have your own harness, climbing shoes and climbing equipment then please bring it all along.

If you are looking to get a climbing permit to take your Scouts out, then you should be able to claim the cost back from your Scout Group but please check this in advance with your treasurer or GLV.

Each person will have to pay for their entry on arrival and complete the Awesome Walls online waiver. Please either arrive a few minutes early to do this, or complete it online here:
