New to bouldering?  No ropes, no hassle—just you, the wall, and a chance to be part of a growing sport and a great community.

At Boulder Exe, you’ll find a supportive environment designed just for you.  First time visitors can take advantage of our fantastic First Climb £5 rate – come and see what buzz is all about and have a go, we’ll supply the gear. Just book online via the link in our Prices page.

Our walls and routes offer something for everyone – you’ll find plenty of intro level problems across all our bouldering zones alongside a dedicated beginners area. Learning the basics and getting started couldn’t be easier.

Tucked away on The Mezz, our dedicated beginner’s area features loads of super accessible problems for you to try in a quiet space of the centre. Across the rest of the walls we’ve mixed harder problems with intro and intermediate grades so you can climb alongside those with more experience. You’ll find a super friendly community of enthusiasts keen to share beta (that’s information about how to complete a route or problem in climbing speak!) and work together to crack each route!

If you’re keen but want a little more guidance to help you progress, our Boulder Basics session is the perfect introduction to the sport!  In just 40 minutes we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about bouldering, answer your questions and give you the confidence to climb.  The session is free with the cost of entry and includes rental shoes and chalk. After your session, feel free to continue climbing – there’s no time limit!  Plus, if you decide to purchase a membership afterward, you can use your entry fee as a credit toward the cost of a membership.

If you want to progress your climbing, why not take advantage of our Coaching sessions? These 1 hour sessions are designed to support confidence, technique and speed up progression on the walls through tailored coaching with one of our experienced instructors.
