Club Membership
Our Club launched in October 2004 to enable UK riders to get more from their snowboarding. Our members save £100s on equipment, holidays and slope time.
Club Bashes are a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and have a laugh on the slopes in the UK and abroad.
In 2015, Action Sports Club launched, providing more discounts across more sports for all members.

Redpoint should cost about £21 for an introduction lesson (that price includes gear hire, lesson and day registration) or + £1 for a years registration
For those that can, gear hire is £5 and its £6.50 an hour plus the membership
http://www.creationwall.co.uk/index.html
Creation is about £29 (same setup as Redpoint but the day registration is replaced by an annual membership which is £3.75)
For those that can gear hire is £5.50 and its £6.75 an hour plus the membership
Might be interested as I've never done it before.

my mum's friends husband Andy is one of teh partners there.
Although I may change my mind if I haven't got my strength back up because I was awful last time I went climbing....ask Danny it was laughable!
So, I could sign 2 in, andy could too I guess, dunno about anyone else, but tbh we could prolly show u what u need to know in 10 mins to get yourself signed in. For top-roping, there's no real danger unless you're a special kind of stupid.
Oliver can climb, but he's under 18, so can't sign anyone in. Hopefully he will be fully recovered from his broken collar bone and back climbing silly things upside down.
Depends how many people want to go, we can prolly cope without those kinda prices for lessons unless there's really loads of inexperience people want to go. If you don't have one, you will need to hire a harness and shoes if you really want, but that's about it.

Yes evidently
Sorry, just re-read this
It's not xscape, entry prices at a wall is just that, entry...it's not an hourly rate...you can stay until ur too knackered to continue
The membership side is required by insurance, you have to be a member of all walls, then you have to either be a competant climber, or escorted by a competant climber. A competant climber can escort 2 novices...all walls are the same.
Most, but not all walls have a 'bouldering' section. It's generally cheaper to go in, the wall is not so high, and the landing area is covered in thick crash mats. You don't really need any supervision to use this are (again, insurance led).
Although, strangely there are far more injuries bouldering than route climbing (smashed ankles etc). To 'boulder', you don't need a harness, so it's cheaper all round. I haven't looked to see if either creation or redpoint have a bouldering wall, but I'd be surprised if they didn't. If you're a novice, it's fun, and all you need is the entrance fee, no gear hire.
The interesting thing about boulderins from a snowboarders point of view is that it has a 'uniform'....u have to wear a beanie

I've accepted that i can reliably climb in the 6's and when i train and lose some podge I can climb in the 7's just about. I do it for fun, and the scenery, as well as the rush the feeling gives you. indoors are just training facilirties for outside.
until you get outside and get on some exposed french rock its a different story...
there is an overhang on a route i climbed in chamonix under the main cable car that there is a 100 metre drop on.

Biggest I did was about 300 meters, I cried.

Peaks. Pass. Soooo funny.
My GPS, hiking boots, hydro-pack, waterproof trousers/jacket and thermal top are all doing the 3 peaks. Fortunately without me.
Thats good, misread it all as you had to pay £20+ for membership and you got the lesson included even if you didn't want it.
I'd be up for the bouldering
