With climbing appearing in the Olympics for the 2nd time ever, The Arc is offering Olympic-themed climbing tasters, designed to give everyone a taste of the sport that has captured the world's attention.

Here's why you should try climbing:

Climbing for All Shapes and Sizes

One of the greatest things about climbing is its inclusivity. No matter your body type or fitness level, climbing is an activity that everyone can enjoy. It doesn't matter if you're tall or short, lean or sturdy – The Arc’s climbing routes are designed to accommodate various abilities and styles. Our experienced instructors not only offer you a fun session but one where everybody feels comfortable and supported.

Fun for the Whole Family

Climbing is a fantastic way for families to spend time together. It fosters teamwork, trust, and communication as you encourage each other to tackle new challenges. Kids especially love the sense of adventure and accomplishment that comes with scaling a wall. And for parents, it’s a great way to engage in a physical activity that’s as rewarding as it is fun – plus it’ll get you fit without being as boring as the gym!

Why Climbing is a Blast

Imagine the thrill of reaching the top of a climbing wall, looking down at how far you've come, and feeling that rush of accomplishment. Climbing is not just a workout for your body; it’s a workout for your mind. Each route is like a puzzle, challenging you to think strategically about your next move. Plus, the camaraderie at The Arc (which is part of The Climbing Academy) creates a supportive and energetic environment, making each climb an enjoyable social experience.

Plan a Fun Day Out in Chippenham

The Arc not only offers roped climbing and bouldering. It also houses a great cafe with a large decking overlooking a free skatepark, an outside climbing wall and a kids play park. There’s even a sculpture walk in the surrounding parkland and shops nearby in Chippenham town centre.
