Active Campus for Staff and Students (Mixed Sessions)

Join our coach-led climbing classes designed for all skill levels. Whether starting out or looking to improve specific techniques, these sessions offer support and guidance. It's a great way to meet fellow climbers and be part of the climbing community at The Edge! You can boulder, or if you are a competent rope climber, you can rope climb. 

Please note: If you are looking to rope climb, you must be an experienced rope climber and have passed a roped competency test. If you haven't done one with us yet, these can be done on the day with a one-off £8 sign-off registration. 

Every Thursday, 12:00-12:45 pm

Single session- £3

4 x Single session (Punch Card) - £10

Booking a punch card will give you access to the wall for four staff climbing sessions. It will expire after 8 weeks of purchase. 

You don’t need any special kit; climbing shoes will be provided, and we can also supply harnesses and belay devices to competent rope climbers. Showers and lockers are available at The Edge.
