Age Minimum

Bouldering at Skywood is best suited to adults, so we have a minimum age requirement of 12 years.

If your child is under 12 but has previous or current experience on a climbing squad or team, we’d be happy to consider an exception.
Please reach out to us at hello@skywoodclimbing.com for special consideration.

House Rules

To keep everyone safe and the space welcoming, please follow these rules while at Skywood:

• No running in the facility

• Stay off the mats unless you're actively climbing or brushing holds

• Notify staff immediately if there's blood on holds, mats, or floors so we can clean and disinfect properly

• No personal items or dogs on the mats

• Be aware of climbers above you when walking on the mats

• Climbing shoes must be worn while on the wall

• Don’t start a climb if it crosses paths with someone already climbing nearby

• Empty your pockets before climbing

• Remove all jewellery—especially watches, bracelets, and necklaces—before climbing

• Never brush holds directly below another climber

• Look out for one another—if you notice unsafe behaviour, speak up kindly

• No unruly yelling or screaming

• Please be considerate of our neighbours—keep noise to a minimum outside

• Wear a shirt while climbing—it’s not that hot, promise!

Thanks for helping us keep Skywood safe, respectful and fun for everyone.

Lost Property

If you have left something behind we will hang onto it for as long as we can, but it is best to let us know if you have left it at the gym and we will make sure it stays safe! We encourage you to call or email us and we check what has been left behind and hopefully return your missing gear.
