We work with over 30 schools & colleges in the area, OsH centre's including TheirCare as well as organisations including Scout Groups, Camp Quality, Great Western Bus Tours.

- 08Wear comfortable active clothing. Loose fitting shirts and baggy shorts will make movement and the harness more comfortable to wear. Ladies often wear leggings or loose pants, as you will be climbing up with a belayer holding your rope. Climbing shoes are required for climbing at Oasis; as we want to avoid germs being carried on to the holds from outside. You can use your own or hire them in the gym. Do bring your own socks, for comfort in our hire shoes. A towel is handy, and some people like to bring a change of clothes on hot days - we have change rooms and showers available. We have water, a cafe and snacks in the gym; although we recommend you bring a water bottle.
