About the centre
Anyone can climb at Climb Leicester, although restrictions do apply. You don’t need to be an experienced climber to enjoy the bouldering wall. We offer courses and taster sessions to suit both adults and children of all abilities. There is also a small shop on site selling the latest climbing equipment.
Mobile climbing wall
We operate a mobile climbing wall, which you can hire for an event, party or team-building exercise. We also take it to locations throughout the Midlands to offer climbing taster sessions.
