You're not the only one. Here are some of the things we get asked most. If you're still not sure, just hit the button below and we'll be happy to help.
Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Climbing shoes are available to hire if you don't have your own.
Nope! You can just turn up. But if it's your first time, we recommend watching our safety video and fill out the waiver online before you arrive.
We have limited free parking on-site. There's also public parking just a short walk away in Penryn, or catch a BerylBike, board a bus or train.
There is no booking required to climb. However, if it's your first visit to BoulderRyn, you will need to sign our online registration before you can climb. For kids groups, instructed sessions etc please contact the centre.
Our minimum age for climbers is 8. All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult unless they are proven competent and have been assessed by CWI trained instructor or appropriately experienced staff member and registered for unsupervised climbing.
No. As long as you have gone through the registration process and can answer some basic safety questions on your first visit, you can climb without any prior experience.
When you buy a day pass you can climb for as long as you like, but once you leave BoulderRyn your session is over. Generally a session lasts for 2 hours.
Any child under the age of 18 must be actively (i.e be on the matting with them but not necessarily climbing yourself) supervised by an adult with a ratio of one adult per two children.
No. Supervising adults that are not climbing don't need to pay entry. You do need to have gone through the registration process though. You will be required to cover your shoes when on the mat with covers provided.
All those under the age of 18 must have a Participation Agreement form filled out by a parent or guardian.
Climbers should wear whatever they're comfortable climbing in. If you have them, bring in your own climbing shoes. Don't worry if you don't have any, you can hire them from us. You will find climbing chalk helpful to improve your grip. You can buy Gekco chalk at the centre.
On your first visit to BoulderRyn, you'll be asked to fill in our waiver if you haven't done so already online. You will be required to watch our induction video. Then, we'll get you registered (£3 registration fee) and shoes fitted if you want to hire shoes (£3.50 shoe hire). Before you climb, there's a short safety induction and form to complete and then you're good to go.
Please email or let a member of staff know if you have lost something at BoulderRyn. Lost Property will be kept on site for 1 month before being donated or re-homed! We will try and keep water bottles for at least 2 weeks before rehoming / recycling.
