There are three main types of indoor climbing – bouldering, top-roping, and lead climbing. In this quick video, Climbing Instructor Amy Hill gives an overview of each, explaining the differences and the gear you will need to enjoy all three types of climbing.

An induction at your local climbing wall is the safest way to start climbing. For gear advice, speak to a GO Outdoors expert in-store or shop our online range.
