Inclusive Climbing Club – The Ledge

5th February | Inverness

The Inclusive Climbing Club is a welcoming monthly climbing space delivered by Equal Adventure at The Ledge Climbing Wall, Inverness. These sessions create a supportive, flexible environment where people can explore climbing, build confidence and enjoy being active in ways that work for them.

This programme is funded by The National Lottery Fund and supported by the British Science Association and the Wellcome Trust.

What this session offers

This session is part of our new monthly Inclusive Climbing Club and offers:

• A calm, friendly introduction to climbing
• Supportive instructors and adaptive equipment
• Time to climb, watch, rest or socialise
• A pressure-free environment focused on enjoyment and confidence

No previous climbing experience is needed. You can take part at your own pace and in whatever way feels right for you.

Who can attend?

• Open to ages 15 years and over
• Suitable for people new to climbing or returning after a break
• Designed for those who want a calmer, more supported way to be active
