Quay Climbing Centre

Enjoy climbing with your family or friends at the South West’s largest indoor climbing wall. Opening in September 2011, the Quay is located in the heart of Exeter’s Quayside in the Old Electricity Building. The generating hall, which formerly provided power to Exeter’s tram network, now provides a majestic space in which to climb.

The Quay is the perfect all weather destination, whether you are a committed outdoor sports enthusiast seeking shelter from inclement weather or simply seeking something different to do in the city.

Why not bring your family and friends along to a taster session? Our instructors will guide you through the basics of climbing in our dedicated instruction zone – they will soon have you scaling your first wall. Reach new heights with a climbing based group session or birthday party – the centre is ideal for both large and small groups of visitors.

For committed climbers we offer routes for all levels on our top roped and lead walls that range from 7 to 14 metres high. For those seeking the ultimate challenge bring your 50 metre rope – you will need it on the lead wall! If high walls are not for you, have a go at bouldering where you can climb without ropes on much lower walls. With two boulder caves, we have challenges for those who just want to give it a go and those who can’t stay away from the rock.

The Workshop Cafe overlooks the climbing arena and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the action whilst enjoying a coffee, cake or light snack.
