GB Climbing/BMC International Event 14-15th May

We are excited to be hosting the GB Climbing/BMC International Selection Event on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May at EICA. Stripping walls and routesetting in the Climbing Arena will begin on the competition and old competition wall from Wednesday 4th May and there will be limited access to those walls up to and including Sunday 15th May. The Boulder Room will also be unavailable at times on the Saturday and Sunday. We will still be open as normal with no impact to any other activities or services but please be aware that the arena and parking may be busier than usual. Why not enjoy trying international competition standard routes after the event!



Climbing open until 10pm every Thursday

For the last few months we have trialled keeping the climbing arena open until 10pm every Thursday to gauge interest in keeping the arena open later in the evenings. Due to interest in this we have now decided to stay open until 10pm every Thursday. So just come along and climb any Thursday evening and enjoy an extra hour!



No booking required for Climb

We're delighted that from Monday 14th March confident and competent pay as you go climbing customers can once again simply drop in to climb and boulder -  you no longer need to book.

Also there are no session times, meaning you can come when you want and stay as long as you want within our opening hours.If you are a member you can simply go straight to the arena and use your card/fob at the arena gates to get in.

If you are with a non-member, they will have to pay for their visit at reception in order to climb/boulder.

Please note: A booking is still required for Clip n' Climb and for instructor led courses
