Overview

We are a friendly student club for climbers and mountaineers of all persuasions from rock to ice and back again. We have fortnightly weekend trips across the country and weekly local day trips suitable for complete beginners and experts alike. During the holidays we have trips throughout Europe, from sunny sport climbing in France to big mountain alpine routes in the Alps and frozen waterfalls in Norway!

UBMC is BMC affiliated meaning you get a BMC club membership if you join us. This gets you discounts on climbing gear at hundreds of stores across the UK and also lets you climb in a wider range of places.

Every week we climb at one of the four climbing centres in Bristol on Monday evenings and Wednesday afternoons. Weather permitting there's also climbing in the gorge.
