What is bouldering?

Bouldering is the hip sibling of traditional rope climbing. The difference? No ropes, short walls, and interesting problems. It's kind of like solving a puzzle with your body, where you start on one hold and have to make your way to the top of your chosen route. It's a super fun sport with a very strong sense of community, just type in 'bouldering' on YouTube and see how many videos come up!

Fear of heights? No worries, bouldering walls only go up to 3 meters and most beginner routes are even shorter.

Intro to bouldering

Although the sport is super accessible to beginners and doesn't need much instruction, we understand it can be intimidating to go to a new gym by yourself for the first time. For this reason we're offering you discounted places on a Sherren House and Blithehale Court exclusive intro to bouldering class with the climbing coaches at City Bouldering Aldgate.

Even if you've never climbed or thought about climbing before, this session is for everyone and an excellent way to try out a new sport and meet some people from your building!

This is a Sherren House and Blithehale Court exclusive initiative and you will need to show your Residents' Rewards Card and Key Card to activate your ticket.
