Welcome to the Peak Climbing Club

The club has been climbing in the Peak District and all over the world for 70 years. We are an informal climbing club, happy to welcome new members or help passing climbers to find the best crags. We're based in the eastern Peak, with members from Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Doncaster and villages in the Peak.

We are mainly rock climbers, but our interests extend to Scottish winter climbing and mountaineering, alpinism in Europe and South America, walking, mountain biking and fell running.

We meet every Thursday evening to climb on crags in the Peak in the summer and indoors at one of the Sheffield walls in the winter. There are informal meets on many evenings and weekends. We also have an expanding programme of weekend trips further afield, organised by club members.

In conjunction with the BMC and the National Trust we have recently carried out extensive work at Yarncliffe and Lawrencefield quarries to improve the crag environment, and helped the Eastern Moors Partnership carry out some crag/woodland management on Curbar Edge.

Climbing Meets

We meet up to climb every Thursday; in the summer we meet at various crags throughout the Peak District but once the dark winter evenings arrive we move indoors to the Sheffield walls. We also have an active programme of weekend trips throughout the year around the country. The full crags/walls lists can be viewed on the relevant pages.
