The Edinburgh International Climbing Arena, Ratho, is built around the stunning
natural rock face of a disused quarry with 3 large walls, over 250 routes and
somewhere around 15000 holds in the arena. Add to that a purpose built
bouldering room and a further three boulders in the arena and you've got plenty
of climb options.
Also in the centre there's abseiling available and our aerial assault course,
which will test balance, nerve and your head for heights as it's suspended 100
feet above the arena floor!
Even though the EICA is the world's largest indoor climbing arena, not
everything we do is based here. From start-up courses to indoor movement skills
and fitness coaching, indoor lead climbing, outdoor climber courses, sea stacks
and Skye ridge courses, we've got it covered.
We've also got navigation skills for the hills, winter skills for the Scottish
mountains, and winter climbing (snow, ice and mixed) courses. We've got a team
of instructors who are passionate, highly motivated climbers and mountaineers
with over 125 years of climbing experience between them.

Accessed easily from all directions in the car, the centre is fairly close to
the Newbridge roundabout to the west of Edinburgh - for further
information please click here.
Unfortunately there is no direct bus route to the centre from Edinburgh City
Centre however the Lothian Buses X48 service stops in the village
of Ratho, and it's just a short walk along the canal towpath to our
centre.
