I'm new to climbing, can I join?

You are very welcome to join the club as a beginner, but we recommend that you gain some experience before you can expect to be able to climb with us regularly outdoors. The club sessions at the Clickimin Wall are an ideal way to gain that valuable experience before getting out on the rock. To climb at the Clickimin you must be inducted, see Clickimin Wall page for details. We are also working with Pete Richardson, a climbing instructor and outdoor representative for the council, to provide climbing instruction where you will be able to learn the basics of ropework, belaying and of course climbing.

We also ask that your membership application is proposed and seconded by two current members of Climb Shetland. If you do not yet know any of us, it is best for you to come to a few sessions at the Clickimin Wall before you send your application to us.

What are the benefits of joining?

As a member, you will have the opportunity to climb regularly at the indoor wall at a discounted rate. The membership fee includes liability insurance with the MCofS and gives you access to discounted travel insurance through them amongst other benefits. During the summer months club trips will take place to various new and exciting venues throughout Shetland.

Regular Meets...

Regular meets will be held throughout the summer months and on freak dry spells in winter. Other than that, we will meet at the indoor wall at least once a week.

Check the forum (Club Meets) for venue and times, and please indicate if you intend to go.
