READING DINO TRAIL

Rise To The Challenge At The Climbing Hangar

Discover one of the fastest growing participation sports in the UK at The Climbing Hangar. TCH specialises in bouldering, which is climbing a wide variety of fun routes up a 3m wall. It’s a ton of fun, but also helps kids to build strength, agility, balance and co-ordination. Best of all, parents/ guardians can climb right alongside them. Book a family session or join a holiday club, where kids climb under the supervision of a friendly and qualified coach. And when the climbing is done, kick back in their big, comfy cafe for tasty fresh food and drink. Free parking.
