Outdoor Climbing Trips

The Essex University Climbing Club is known for its exciting outdoor trips. These trips typically take place on weekends and during university breaks, offering members the chance to climb in some of the UK's most renowned climbing destinations. Popular spots include the Peak District, North Wales, Dorset and Cornwall. These trips are an excellent opportunity to experience real rock climbing, enjoy the great outdoors, and bond with other members.

 

Social Events

Socials are a big part of the club's activities. These events are designed to help members get to know each other off the wall. Regular socials include hex nights, bouldering at CCP, and BBQs. These events are relaxed and fun, making them a great way to unwind and make new friends.

 

 

Workshops

Climbing workships are organised to help members become more knowledgeable and self-sufficient climbers.
