UNIVERSITY

Club sessions @ TCA

We want to give your group the best climbing experience. Weeknight evenings can be very busy and student clubs can be quite sizable, so TCA works with each university to agree a suitable time for your club or society meet-ups. This will maximise space for your group and create more fun sessions for everyone. Email christoph@theclimbingacademy.com for more info.

UWE Students:
Friday afternoons at Mothership (bouldering)
Wednesday afternoons at The Church (roped climbing)

Bath, UoB and other student groups:
Contact us to discuss your specific needs and schedule.

We also see the exterior climbing wall and skatepark at The Arc, a competition climber competing at The Arc in front of a crowd (some of whom are sitting on top of the top-out boulder) and some people sitting at wooden benches outside The Arc, enjoying drinks and chat.

 

MEET OTHER STUDENTS

Freshers’ Week Tasters

At the start of term, to kickstart your year, we offer Freshers’ Week Tasters – designed to welcome new student climbers. These sessions are a great way to let students from your university or college try TCA at a super discounted rate whilst forming bonds with others who may also be new. These tasters are great fun for experienced climbers or total newbies who just want to give climbing a go! 

 

NEW SKILLS

TCA offers student discounts on scheduled Roped Beginners, Lead Climbing Courses and Movement and Technique bouldering course. You can secure even bigger discounts with bespoke courses for 4-6 students at a time you can choose. Bookers of all roped courses can pay an optional £25 to unlock a month of unlimited climbing.
