A club for climbers, walkers, and mountaineers.

Welcome to Colchester Climbing Club

Looking to challenge yourself, meet like-minded people, and explore the outdoors? Colchester Climbing Club (CCC) is a vibrant, welcoming community of climbers and outdoor enthusiasts based in North-East Essex.

We meet every Thursday evening at the University of Essex Sports Centre to climb, train and have fun.

From spring to autumn we run monthly climbing trips across the country - and sometimes abroad - where we climb, walk, or go scrambling. We base ourselves at nearby campsites. In the winter months we switch gear with walking weekends in bunkhouses. If the weather plays ball we might get some climbing in too!.

Join us

If you are new to climbing and would like to have a go, or an experienced competent climber looking to join us, please visit the Membership page for details.

Special Offer

Your first Thursday night session is FREE for both new and experienced climbers!
Just quote WEBCCC in your email when you book.

CCC is affiliated with The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) and our aim is to promote an interest in climbing, hillwalking, and mountaineering, and to provide opportunities for members to meet and participate in those activities together.
