The Birmingham Cave and Crag Club Climbers and Climbing Section

Welcome to the climbing section of the Cave and Crag Club

We are a small climbing club with a dedicated group of members who enjoy climbing in the UK and abroad.

To see what’s on for 2009 click the link to our meets programme. MEETS PROGRAM

Along with the scheduled calendar events our members try and get outside as much as possible, regular venues include The Peak, Wye Valley and Wales . We have an excellent club hut at Tremadog in North Wales, situated right on top of Tremadog cliffs, with the Llamberis Pass and Snowdonia about 40 minutes away.

Every year dependent on conditions some members make the journey North of the Border for the unique experience that is Scottish Winter climbing.

We also climb indoors every Wednesday with a visit to the pub afterwards for a chat. As Birmingham has two good walls we use both to keep things a little more interesting. On even numbered Wednesdays we meet at the Epic Centre (Creation Wall) in Moseley and on odd numbered Wednesdays we go to Redpoint. (See the Links section for address details)

The Club is always on the lookout for new members (and venues for meets) and we welcome interest from climbers of any ability. If you are thinking of joining, the climbing section is very friendly and you can always find someone to tie on with, we do not maintain fixed climbing partnerships to the exclusion of newcomers.

Learning To Climb

The Cave and Crag Club does not undertake to teach people to climb. The club has no qualified instructors. However once you have undergone a short course in the basics of ropework we endeavour to provide an atmosphere in which newcomers will be made welcome, will be helped along in the their climbing development and will be introduced into the network of climbers within the Club (and so you will have someone to climb with at the wall).

Basic instruction can be provided by Redpoint Climbing Centre in Birmingham where the club meets on a Wednesday evening. If you want to talk to someone about climbing on a Wednesday or about who to contact concerning basic instruction, contact the club and we will forward your request to an appropriate club member.
If you would like to climb with us then drop me an email using the ‘Contact Us’ button.

Have fun with your climbing.
