Staffordshire and the West Midlands may well have many attractions but they don't include mountains ;-)

For the 'real thing' you'll need to travel to somewhere like the Peak District but, for a taster, there are several indoor climbing walls in the area. The Creation Climbing Centre,in Birmingham, is purpose built. A 1½ hour taster session costs £20:

A 2 hour 'Introduction to Climbing' course costs £35:

The 4 hour course seems to be better value, at £49:

The main web page (with links to directions, etc), is here:

There's another purpose built centre, Wolf Mountain, in Wolverhampton, which offers similar courses. However, the prices aren't quoted on their website. You have to phone for details:

Thanks Chris, I have been looking at that Creation Wall before. Have you ever been to either of them or have a freind who has been - any idea which may be better?
