Jacob’s Ladder comes under the ‘adventurous activities’ and must have a centre qualified instructor to run it.

The maximum size of a group should be 12 people

All safety equipment is supplied. Safety helmets should be worn by all persons who are inside the area when an activity is on-going.

We ask that people are suitably dressed.

The following points should be noted:

Long hair my cause a problem – hair that is tied up in a bun may prevent a safety helmet fitting correctly.

Crop tops are forbidden. Parts of the waist or legs where a harness might rub against the skin must be covered by clothing.

No loose fitting clothing, dangly ear rings, body piercings that may get caught up in or rub against safety equipment will normally have to be taped over or removed. Watches, bracelets and wrist bands should be removed. Rings may also cause a problem. Long sleeves and long trousers are recommended – remember when you are not climbing it can get cold.

On hot days don’t forget the water bottle and the sun block.
