Become a Supporter of UKClimbing

The past eight weeks have been strange for everyone. In an effort to keep you entertained and up-to-date we have increased our output of news and articles. As you might expect, with limited access to the outdoors, we have seen a big increase in site traffic. We would like to thank every one of you: you are each a key part of what makes this wonderful website possible.

However, the lockdown has affected everyone hugely. The outdoor industry, and UKClimbing, is no exception to this. We have found ourselves in the strange situation that whilst our viewership has increased, our main source of income has decreased.

Please help UKClimbing continue to provide our excellent content and features by becoming an official UKC Supporter. You can show your support in one of two ways: both come with rewards, and one includes discounted products from Rockfax.
