Climbing

We have weekly sessions of bouldering, auto belay, top rope and lead climbing as well as monthly trips outdoors and hikes throughout the year.

We also attend several competition leagues which you can get the chance to compete in through our competition or development team with our main competition being SWUCCS league where we were the 2025/26 winners. We also compete against Southampton in the university-wide Varsity event.

All abilities are welcome, and there will be plenty for you to get involved in with training and coaching provided as part of your membership.

The climbing will draw you in, and our weekly socials and fundraising events (such as the university-wide Everest Climbathon) will give you so much to do at Uni.

If this sounds like fun, come give climbing a try at Freshers' Fayre or Give Me Sport!

Club memberships for 2026/27 are available from Saturday 1 August.

Please note, for most Compete memberships, you will need to be selected for a team via the club's trials during our Give Me Sport event.
