  • We will be request your help in putting a harness on your son or daughter (the instructor will provide instructions) and removing it again after class.
  • The use of rental shoes is optional.
  • No use of loose chalk allowed – 70% alcohol-based liquid chalk will be available for sale if needed.
  • All games and warm-up activities will be executed in a way where each student has their own sanitized equipment or none at all, and with the required 2m distancing. Warm-up can take place outside in our back garden on good weather days; we have a small climbing wall out there too!
