Yes if you're an OUMC member (even if you're not part of the University). Remember to bring your OUMC card!

Yes, we do! You can find the Iffley wall at the University Sports Centre.

The club's bouldering wall at Iffley does not have large fixed crash mats like you'll see at Brookes and other modern walls. Instead, we use portable mats that you place at the bottom of the problem you're intending to climb. These mats are kept on top of the lockers on the right at the far end of the wall.

We climb all over the UK on official club meets in term time. The meets page will tell you everything you need to know about club meets.

Out of term, our members usually organise unofficial trips between themselves. If you're keen to get involved, chat to people at the pub as well as keeping an eye on our Facebook page.

There are plenty of people around when undergraduates term time finishes. If you're in Oxford outside term time and want to keep up with unofficial activities, join our Facebook page.

Lots of unofficial trips also get organised on Wednesday at The Gardners Arms too!

In short, no. On club trips we only go walking when it's raining and there is no climbing to be done, or to get to the beginning of some rock or ice. The OU Walking Club are probably who you're looking for. Many of our members are also keen walkers and may be interested in any trips you have in mind.
