Climbing walls are a great way to start climbing and to stay fit. There are two ways of finding the nearest climbing wall to you: our online searchable database and our annual climbing wall directory.
Or
The BMC wall directory contains the very latest information on all the major climbing walls across the country. And, new for 2015, all the climbing walls that are accredited centres for the National Indoor Bouldering Award Scheme (NIBAS) now have their own icons.
Climbing wall help
If you're visiting a wall for the first time, you might also be interested in our advice on How to start indoor climbing.
If you are a parent, or a young person, you may find our Young People booklet helpful too.
Many climbing walls around the UK support the GB Climbing Team by allowing them to train and climb for free, giving them invaluable time at their walls at no cost. The team and the BMC are incredibly grateful for this support.
A full list of walls that support the GB Team can be seen below with links to their websites so BMC members can visit them and show their support for the wall.
