From the cafebar there is a lift to all levels of the building. Level 1 where the main climbing
arena is located
There is one small step up onto safety matting on level 1 this can be fitted with a ramp to gain
access.
The corridors from the lift to the main arena are narrow. The corridors are kept clear to allow
access
Staff working with groups have had previous experience with groups.

Helmets are provided for all groups and helpers
Areas can be sectioned off to restrict access and keep equipment such as chairs safe while the
activity takes place.
Additional staff members are given to the group to assist with climbing
All the staff are qualified and trained climbers
All Climbing staff are trained in first aid
All climbing staff are trained in rescue procedures on the walls.

evacuation. Head counts, and safe evacuation is followed.
Level 3 has the Digital wall which is another facility which has proved popular with groups.
Access is via the lift
There is plenty of room on this level.
The use of the digital wall would need to be out of chairs as the matting in front of the wall would
restrict movement and is unsuitable for wheelchairs. The games which can be played on the
wall can develop team work and are good for warm up activities. The wall is 2 metres high so

some of the higher holds would not be accessable. Therefore the games would need to be
adapted for this.
