Climbing Wall
*** Our Climbing Wall is used exclusively for the Student BUMS Tuesday & Thursday 5pm-8pm***
The Climbing Wall at Brunel University Sport was one of the very first indoor climbing facilities in the country. It dates back to 1972 and still provides exciting indoor climbing to this day.
The Climbing Wall measures 35m x 7.5m and consists of an epoxy resin and concrete climbing surface with rock insert holds. It caters for bouldering, top roping, and lead climbing. It has many features including cracks, arêtes, flakes, grooves and overhangs. In addition there is an excellent training area for the novice, which boasts a number of ledges that allow for skill development.
It has undergone many phases of development including a custom built bouldering area called the "Pump room" with curved resin panels built in 1992. In total the combined areas give over 350sq metres of wall surface.
Access to the Climbing Wall for unsupervised climbing is by membership only. All members will have to pass a Climbing Competency Test to validate their membership on an annual bases.
