Verification Reservation System
Do I need to make a booking reservation for verification?
We recommend making a booking to secure a confirmed verification slot as walk-ins will be subject to availability.
What if I can't make it on the scheduled verification slots?
We will be releasing new verification slots on a quarterly basis. Do keep a lookout on our website for new verification dates!
Can I continue climbing after my verification slot?
Absolutely! You would have till the end of the day to show off your swanky new verification tag on the wall!
Can I do an ad-hoc verification?
All ad-hoc verifications are suspended till further notice.
Can I book a verification slot just for myself?
Verification is more fun when done in pairs. Please find a partner that’s either already verified or wants to be verified.
What happens if I'm late for my verification slot?
We require our climbers to show up for their verification slot on time. If you are late for your verification slot, we may push you back to a later time slot (subject to availability). However, if there are no available slots, we reserve the right to not conduct the verification and no refunds would be given.
Can I cancel or change my verification slot?
There will be no cancellations or changes allowed for verification slots due to the limited slots available. We ask that our climbers are certain of their attendance before making their bookings for verification.
What if I am a first-timer at Climb Central? Can I still make a verification reservation?
First-timers who are new to Climb Central (have never registered an account before and do not hold a Climb Central keytag) will have to arrive at least 30 mins before their verification slot to register and attend a safety briefing before they are allowed to take the test.
Do remember to indicate that you are a first-timer in your booking under the “Are you a first-timer at Climb Central?” prompt.
