Cambridge Climbing and Caving Club — Climb, Explore, Connect

About Cambridge Climbing and Caving Club

Cambridge Climbing and Caving Club brings together enthusiasts who love climbing, bouldering and subterranean exploration. With more than 100 members and several dedicated teams, the club offers regular indoor and outdoor sessions, skill courses, safety workshops, and weekend expeditions for both beginners and experienced climbers. Our approach balances technical training, fun social events, and responsible outdoor practices.

Activities and training

Members can take part in varied activities including rope climbing, sport and trad techniques, bouldering technique sessions, and guided caving trips focused on route-finding and safety. The club runs beginner induction courses, regular coaching clinics, and lead-climbing practice nights to help members progress. We also organise excursions to regional crags and cave systems, plus social meetups that strengthen the community.

Location

Based in Cambridge (CB1 2NR), close to the historic city centre and university colleges.

How we organise with SportMember

To manage our many activities, teams and membership details we rely on SportMember. The platform helps us coordinate training schedules, collect membership fees, send team notices and keep attendance records—reducing administrative overhead and making it easier for volunteers to run the club.

• SportMember modules we use: membership management, payment module, team communication, attendance tracking and website.
