STEPS TO A HAPPY VISIT
Welcome to Suas Climbing Center, located on the Clare/Limerick border we are a dedicated indoor Rock Climbing and Bouldering gym, We’re so glad you found us! We have a lot to offer, so there’s a lot to learn. In order to make you at ease on your first visit we have answered some common questions below.
So you wish to try your hand at rock climbing?
Don’t worry we have you covered. Simply advance book one of our “taster classes“.* These popular sessions will give you a fun introduction to the world of rock climbing. All equipment is provided and our expert staff will look after you for the hour long session. The fully instructed climbing session is based on our 10m high roped climbing walls, feel at ease while one of our fantastic instructors manages your ropes and takes you on a variety of climbing routes to suit your ability. Taster sessions are open to all, kids from as young as 6 years old to adults of any age.
Want to try Bouldering? An instructor is not necessary to use the Bouldering wall and there is no booking required, you will be reqired to register as a member of Suas in order to use the Bouldering wall unsupervised, complete a registration from at the counter and receive a Bouldering induction. That said your experience will be much better with an instructor guiding you through your first foray into bouldering. Book a “Fundamentals of Bouldering” session and you will be provided with a bouldering safety brief, functional warm up and the fundamental climbing techniques to make sure you get the best out of your session.
The taster is just the start of your journey, if you would like to progress to be a self sufficient top rope climber the next step is to take a “Top Rope Belay induction” the details of which you can find in our progression steps .
Be warned It is addictive.
