A club for climbers, walkers, and mountaineers.
Want to climb more, meet great people, and explore new places? Whether you’re new to climbing or already experienced, Colchester Climbing Club (CCC) is here to help you get the most out of the sport.
Your first Thursday night session is FREE for both new and experienced climbers!
Just quote WEBCCC in your email when you book.
If you’re just starting out, we offer a taster session free of charge.
After your taster we recommend taking a beginner course. Our friends at Essex Sport run monthly sessions at the University of Essex climbing wall, teaching everything you need to get going.
Once you’ve completed a course, join us for our Thursday evening sessions and become part of the club.
No gear? No problem! New members can borrow harnesses, helmets, ropes, and belay devices from the club (just bring your own climbing shoes).
You’re welcome to join us straight away! We meet every Thursday from 8pm–10pm at the University of Essex Sports Centre. If you haven’t climbed there before, please arrive 10 minutes early for the centre’s competency check.
Email us beforehand so a committee member can greet you.
