the climbing academy - "the newsroom"
Our passion for climbing has inspired us to develop climbing walls that enable
anyone and everyone to access the sport and develop the next generation of
climbers. The Climbing Academy started in Bristol in 2008 when The Mothership
opened. We delivered on our vision to build a bouldering wall that would appeal
to as many people as possible, giving them the opportunity to take part in what
we think is the best sport in the world. Soon after, we opened The Newsroom in
Glasgow – based in an old newspaper printing works – bringing the city its first
dedicated bouldering centre. In more recent years we took over Undercover Rock
AKA The Church, Bristol’s original roped wall in St Werburghs. In late Autumn
2018, we opened a brand new climbing centre in Glasgow. The Prop Store came to
life in an old BBC prop store and offers both bouldering and roped climbing. All
of our climbing walls offer the very best in climbing facilities and courses,
designed for climbers of all abilities. Our staff are always on-hand to offer
advice to help you get the very best out of your experience climbing. Click
‘locations’ to find your closest wall and discover some of the great sessions we
have available. If you are a member of one centre, you are a member of all TCA
centres. TCA is committed to maintaining the very best practices and is a proud
member of the Association of British Climbing Walls.
