Climbing Fun Games

Some games are to help with technique, and some help you remember climbing terms and safety. Some can be done on the climbing wall with friends, some online, some by downloading and printing. Hope you enjoy them all!

With friends on indoor walls
I was asked to find climbing games that kids can enjoy on walls and boulders. This link is for adult climbing games that could be adapted for children. PLEASE NOTE: children are not like small adults. They recover from fatigue in very different ways to adults. There could be long term consequences to overtraining for kids under the age of puberty. Please be sensible about how much climbing training you provide for your child, and look up relevant information about this before going ahead.
