TCA runs a range of social sessions.

At their heart, our socials are about meeting other climbers and building connections within our friendly community. They're a relaxed, welcoming way to climb alongside other people, share routes and problems, and get to know the wider TCA community.

Some sessions are instructed, some aren't and a few are aimed at specific groups within the community.

For full details of what's on at each centre — including the type of climbing, dates, times, and who each session is for — visit theclimbingacademy.com/clubs.

Tailored support to help you climb better

Looking to improve your technique, build strength or push through a plateau? Our personal coaching sessions offer focused, one-to-one support designed around your goals – whether you're a beginner wanting to build confidence, or an experienced climber chasing performance gains.

You’ll work with an experienced coach who’ll take the time to understand your climbing background, identify areas for improvement and create a session that fits your needs.

What we offer:

• A pre-session consultation to assess your level and aspirations
• Expert input on technique, rope-work, training and tactics
• Help with projects or plateau-breaking
• Guidance on strength, endurance and conditioning
• Practical, actionable feedback – plus post-session tips to keep you progressing

Sessions are friendly, professional and entirely bespoke. Whether you want a single session or a longer-term plan, we’ll help you stay motivated and climbing well.
