Under 18s must be supervised at all times.
Experienced 14-17 year-olds can take the Unsupervised Climbing Assessment.
This does not guarantee they will be able to climb unsupervised if they fail to complete the assessment.

Under 18s are not permitted to become Supervisors. The younger child would need adult supervision.
