Routesetting at EICA
Keep up to date with the newest routes and problems at EICA.
Our busy routesetters are always refreshing different routes and problems in the centre. So there's always something new to try whether you are lead climbing, top roping, on the auto belays, or just in for a boulder.
You can also keep up to date with any special setting that may be taking place for events or competitions on this page.
See below and see which routes or boulders have been reset most recently and see what is due to be changed soon.
Why not climb something new?
- Auto-belays - Filling in the auto-belays after the competition has finished.
- Old Comp Wall - Continuing on the old competition wall.
- Main Wall - We will
be continuing on the main wall to the right of the lead slab. We will work
along refreshing lines 4 to 10.
- Tower Wall - Refreshing top-ropes on the tower wall.
Watch out for new routes/boulders!
We'll soon be resetting routes/problems on:
-
Lead
slab (lines 1 to 3) have been reset with 7 new routes from 4 to 7a.
-
New
top-ropes to the right of the baby slab (lines 74 and 75). Grades from 3+
to 6b+.
-
Started
working on the left hand side of the Old Comp wall. Routes from 6a+ to
7c+!

Watch this space for what new routes and boulder you can expect to see soon at EICA.
We'd love to hear what you think of our routesetting and if there's anything you'd like to see more of at EICA.
Grade Consensus Board
Have your say in how we grade our routes! Our grade consensus board is next to the office and will include newly set routes, plus a suggested grade form our route setters.
After you've climbed a route you can add your suggestion of the route's grade, and after a week the grade the route will be graded at the most popular consensus.
