Frequently asked questions

FAQ's Tunbridge wells chimera climbing

Our team are on hand to help with any questions

Are children welcome?

Faq

Absolutely. Anyone over the age or 5 can give it a go but children do have to be supervised by a climbing adult on a 1:1 basis. - Please read our information on supervision here

What is bouldering?

Faq

Bouldering is climbing smaller walls without ropes. No harnesses, no knots to learn, no belaying to master. Just turn up, put on some shoes and get going.

What should I wear?

Faq

Loose, comfy clothing is best - any sports clothes or baggy jeans or leggings.

Do I need to bring anything?

Faq

You can rent specialist climbing shoes at reception. You can also hire chalk if needed - chalk is useful for drying the sweat on your palms, or you can buy chalk from our shop. You can bring a reusable water bottle as there is a refilling station near reception.

When do you open?

Faq

10am in the week, 9am at weekends. Please note, there are reduced climbing times for under 12's. They can climb until 2pm at weekends and 6pm in the weeks.

Can I bring a group of mates?

Faq

Yes absolutely, the more the merrier. To save time we suggest you pre-register if you haven’t been before which you can do by clicking the link below. Other than that, turn up and have fun!

I’m scared of heights. Can I still climb?

Faq

Yes! You can traverse to get started (climbing along rather than up) and when you feel more confident you can start to climb a little higher each go. You don’t have to get to the top, you can just practice one move at the bottom until you feel comfortable.

How does the grading work?

Faq

Primarily, routes are graded by colour so stick to the easier colours (yellow, orange, purple) to get you going. Once you are a pro, you can look at the grading chart for each wall via the TopLogger app - we use Font grades at Chimera.

Do you have the basic safety rules in Ukrainian/Russian?

Faq

Yes we do. Please click here for the Ukrainian and Russian translations of our rules.
