Many of us have the pleasure of seeing how brilliant Rock Tots is for our little ones’ development, but to have an exploratory study confirm and publish this is amazing and gives us much joy!

Dr Nicole Gridley from Leeds Becket University has just published the results of her paper about our sessions and programme, with some incredibly interesting and positive findings. More about this in our posts to follow.

Who is coming climbing with us this new year? Some of our team have been off over Christmas so we are all super excited about seeing everyone this January. We can’t wait to climb with you all again and meet lots of new little climbers.

We’ve got lots of new little climbers joining us for the first time, this term, so we wanted to say a massive warm welcome. We are so excited about starting this climbing adventure with you.

Have you tried Rock Tots or Rock Kids yet?

Guess what else builds a really strong core? Whilst also strengthening pinch grip, hand muscles and developing, connecting and strengthening neural pathways.

Our head coach and founder Rachel Briggs (from our Sheffield team) had one of her best days out in the Peak District, doing what she loves most in the world, sharing climbing with others. She took the wonderful children from Little Puddle People out for a climbing adventure, on the Gritstone.
Has anyone else been on any sunny adventures lately?

Thank you for letting us share this gorgeous photo!

(Two of our adorable Rock Tots sitting on the matting in front of the climbing wall, giving each other a hug, looking very happy. In front of them you can just see one of our climbing instructor, with another family. There is an added yellow text box in the top right corner of the photo, written inside this “Yay, we will be seeing you soon”, this picture depicts how excited and happy we are about being with our Rock Tots and their families, very soon).

When things feel tough or out of control, staying active is something you can choose, that not only helps your physical wellbeing but also our mental health.

All our classes will be on pause for now, as we once again go into another lockdown. We will miss you all and will look forward to climbing with you again, once we are aloud.

Celebrating Black History Month with a our good friend Maxine.

Check out Molly’s (one of Britain’s best climbers) great discussion about Black History Month and her climbing experiences.

Molly Thompson-Smith is one of the best climbers in Britain, and one of the most empowering females we know. Check out the video https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=5NV98YpM1Y0 to hear her great discussion with some of the other athlete, discussing Black History Month and her experiences in Climbing. Well done and the other Gymshark athletes for having these important conversation.

We have created this Lego visual to explain to our children the differences between Equity and Equality. We know it’s not climbing but we thought some of you may be having similar conversations with your little ones, so we thought we would share. We are working with to put diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of Rock Tots.

Thank you for featuring Rock Tots on their Instagram. Happy to everyone! RePosted • Throughout today, Global Climbing Day, we will be celebrating some of the most empowering climbers, and climbing organisations, that we know.
