Challenges
Try out a variety of climbing challenges suitable for all levels – no experience necessary!
Clip ‘n Climb will challenge your senses as well as your stamina with different shapes, vibrant colours and variety of textures.
No challenge is alike. Each of our climbing elements offer unique and extraordinary experiences – it’s impossible to be bored and for those looking for continuous improvement, each challenge offers different levels of difficulty to push you even harder!
Challenges are suitable for a variety of age groups (from age 4 upwards) allowing families and friends to climb together. No experience is required and each challenge has three recommended routes (easy, medium and hard) so climb at your pace and within your comfort zone. If you lose your balance, the auto belay gently lowers you and you can climb again unless it’s the end of your session.

Vertical Drop Slide
Awesome! Amazing! Great fun! Must try! Wow!
Let yourself go at EICA: Ratho. Take a ride on the Vertical Drop Slide!
How long can you hold on? This is a ‘challenge of choice’ and you choose when to let go. For the height of excitement, release at the top of our 9 metre slide and accelerate through 3 metres of free fall, experiencing the force of gravity before touch down and sliding at speed to a soft landing.
This is a solo challenge. You will be kitted out in a skydive suit (to control the amount of friction) and a helmet. Hold on to the handlebar as you are pulled up the face of the slide using a winch controlled by our leisure attendant.
Supplement of £2.50 per ride which includes protective clothing and supervision.
Please note, mimimum height of anyone doing the Vertical Drop is 1.2 metres.
