Since 2010 we have carried out readership surveys every three years and it is now time for a new one. There are two different surveys - this UKC version, which is more climbing-based, or the UKH version which is a shorter hillwalking-based survey. You can only fill out one of these surveys so please choose the one that corresponds best to your interest level and the site you visit the most - go to the UKHillwalking version if you wish to change now.

To help improve UKC we need to know all about you; what activities you do, what sort of gear you buy and what you think about UKClimbing. We listen very carefully to what you say and appreciate all constructive criticism and will act on it.

By contributing to this readership survey you are helping us build up a detailed demographic picture of our readers and develop a media planner for the advertisers who support UKClimbing, UKHillwalikng and Rockfax.

If you complete the survey (you must answer more than 80% of the questions) you will be given the chance to be included in a prize draw for one of the great prizes we have (see above - the set there is likely to be added to during the survey).

This readership survey is completely anonymous. No reference to your IP address or email address will be recorded. Your User Profile will be marked with an indicator showing that you have completed the survey but there is no connection between your User Profile and a set of responses. After submitting the survey, you will be asked if you want to enter the prize draw.

The survey is split into six short sections and should take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

We appreciate your help and thank you for being part of the UKC community. We are also extremely grateful to the advertisers who have supported this survey with their magnificent prizes.
