Monthly Rock Climbing Course for Children in Leganés

Context

This monthly climbing course for children takes place at Indoorwall Getafe, a modern climbing gym located just outside Leganés with 400 m² of climbing space. The program uniquely combines indoor climbing on routes up to 8 meters with supervised outdoor sessions on natural limestone rock—a rare combination for children in the Madrid region. The scent of rubber and chalk fills the air, and redundant safety systems ensure every climb is secure.

The experience

Children begin with a safety briefing covering harness and helmet use. After a tailored warm-up, they practice on artificial walls under close supervision, applying basic climbing techniques. In some sessions, they complete a short outdoor session on natural limestone to experience the texture and feel of real rock. Each class ends with a guided reflection led by instructors. The atmosphere is full of sounds of clips and laughter, creating a motivating and joyful environment.

For whom

Ideal for children aged 3 and older who show interest in starting rock climbing and have moderate physical ability. Not suitable for children with fear of heights or who cannot tolerate wearing a harness and helmet. Also recommended for families who value a safe, structured, and supervised setting.
