Edinburgh International Climbing Arena

After closing our doors when COVID-19 hit, we’re proud to be back in action. We’ve put in place enhanced safety measures throughout EICA, so please follow any signage and adhere to current government guidelines when you visit. Read more about these procedures here.

So we can safely manage the numbers of people in our venues all our activities have to be pre-booked online.

If you have an Edinburgh Leisure card/are a member we will have automatically set up an account for you. If you don’t know your password, or haven’t set one up, go to our ‘Book now’ portal and click ‘Forgotten password’ Simply follow the instructions from there.
If you don’t have an Edinburgh Leisure card you can set up a ‘Pay as you go’ account with us. Or, you can of course buy a membership or a discount card and we will set up an account for you.
