We now freeze memberships over our summer outdoor season in order to focus on our current cohort of newer members to safely mentor and upskill current members within our capacity as a club.
Memberships will be reopened at the start of the winter season ready for our indoor climbing sessions.
If you are a current, temporary member, you are still able to upgrade your membership here: Membership Upgrade
Once your membership has been accepted, you’ll immediately benefit from the following:
Our members have access to the indoor climbing wall at Langford Sports Centre.
Throughout the year we host a number of climbing and social events. You will get the chance to attend climbing courses, movie nights, meals and climbing trips.
As well as harnesses and carabiners for indoor climbing, the club has 3 toprope kits for use by anyone who has completed our toprope anchors course, or who has demonstrated the necessary anchor building skills.
All club members are invited to attend our AGM (Annual General Meeting). Full members have the opportunity to discuss club matters, put forward your own ideas, join the committee, and ultimately decide the future of your club.
We are affiliated with the BMC, the national representative body of climbing, hill walking and mountaineering in the UK. BMC Membership includes:
