Junior Sign Off Sessions

If you are a regular climber aged between 14 and 17, you may want to start climbing without needing adult supervision, at Harrogate Climbing Centre we understand that it is important to you to be able to do this, and have developed a system that allows you to visit the centre safely . To do this, you will need to gain a Green Card (allowing you to climb on top ropes only), and if you wish, a Yellow Card (allowing you to lead climb as well).

Green Card Sign-Off Sessions

These sessions are 90 minutes long and give you the opportunity to show us what you know! During the session, you will need to demonstrate that you can:

Use climbing equipment correctly

Tie in to your harness

Belay safely on a top-rope

Hold a falling climber

Behave in a consistently safe and responsible manner in the centre.

This is an assessment session only, no instruction in ropework or belaying will be given.

If you need more instruction to get you to a standard where you can climb unsupervised, you will need to book an hour’s session with an instructor first. We can assess a minimum of 2, maximum of 6 people at any one time.

Price: – £15.00 per person

For further information or booking please Contact Us, and please read through our Terms & Conditions of booking.

Yellow Card Courses

The Yellow Card is available to people who already hold a Green Card, and allows you to lead climb without direct supervision.

To get a Yellow Card, you must attend all of the following sessions. All sessions must have 2 people on them:

Learn To Lead (2 Hours) £40.00 per person

3 x Consolidation Sessions (90 Minutes each) £15.00 per person, per session

Yellow Card Assessment (90 Minutes) FREE!

In order to pass a Yellow Card Assessment, you must demonstrate the following:

Safe and appropriate use of climbing equipment

Safe belaying of a lead climber

Holding a falling climber

Clipping confidently and safely

Consistent safe and responsible behaviour in the centre

Green and Yellow Card sessions can be booked at a time to suit you. You must have consent from your parent or guardian to undertake a Green or Yellow card.

For further information or booking please Contact Us, and please read through our Terms & Conditions of booking.
