Who we are
We are a club that enjoys climbing and walking and is based in Bristol. Founded in 1972, we are BMC affiliated and over 150 members ranging from experienced climbers to seasoned mountaineers and walkers.
What we do
Our members climb outdoors in the Avon Gorge, Wye Valley and local area throughout the year as well as indoors at Undercover Rock. Our annual itinerary takes us climbing, bouldering, scrambling and walking in Wales, The Lakes, The Peak District, Scotland, Lundy Island and even Fontainebleu, and we have recently started regular day walks locally and in Wales.
How we work
Our club trips are run by members on a voluntary basis. Each year we set out our itinerary for weekends away and longer trips for the coming 12 months. We have a secure Yahoo group, which we use for day to day communications. Members use the group to invite others out to climb and walk on an ad hoc basis.
Getting started
Please come to the pub to meet us! Every first Tuesday of the month at 9pm you can find us at the Pump House in Hotwells. We will have our club mascot with us – Oswald the Owl – so please don’t be shy, come along and say hello.
