NICAS Clip
Auto belays are the simplest way to get into roped climbing, and NICAS Clip is here to provide a pathway for safety, fun and early introductions to movement on the wall.
New climbers can expect to learn to confidently climb using auto belay devices under the careful tuition of our expert, DBS checked and NSPCC child protection trained climbing instructors.
Assessment is ongoing throughout, with participants awarded a certificate when they successfully pass the course.
What is NICAS?
NICAS Clip is the National Indoor Climbing Award Scheme for auto belay climbing.
It is a nationally recognised coaching scheme designed to introduce new climbers to the indoor climbing environment through the safe use of auto belay facilities. Sessions are suitable for those aged 6+.
Participants will develop their awareness of climbing movements and improve confidence to explore other climbing pathways. NICAS Clip has a focus on fun, and teaches skills through the gamification of sport.
We have a team of qualified, dedicated coaches and instructors in Manchester that are experts in bouldering; with years of experience running classes, you can be sure your child will not only become a competent climber but will also love the journey too.
What does it cost?
Level 1
£11 per child – 1-hour classes per week

There is an initial £9 registration fee to those new to the NICAS scheme. This covers the setup cost of a new participant, and as part of the registration fee, participants receive a logbook and folder.
