Join Our Team: Experience the thrill of climbing with Dublin University Climbing Club (DUCC). Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber, our club offers outdoor trips across Ireland to scenic spots like The Mourne Mountains, The Burren, and Glendalough. Our inclusive community welcomes climbers of all levels.

Participation and Training: DUCC is dedicated to developing your climbing skills. Each year, we teach new climbers to belay, top rope, and lead climb, ensuring that no prior experience is needed. Our bi-weekly club sessions are perfect for making new friends, having a laugh, and staying active while learning more about the sport.

Achievements: Our club has a proud history of success, being the overall winner of Irish Rock Climbing Intervarsities in 2017, 2018, and 2019. We also secured victories in the Men's Advanced and Men's Novice categories at the Irish Rock Climbing Intervarsities 2020. Additionally, we were the overall winners of the national competition in 2023.

Registration and Fees: An annual membership fee is required to join. This fee supports the club's operations, including training, equipment, and participation in competitions. Erasmus exchange students should check at the sports centre reception for any additional fees associated with facility use.

Inclusive Environment: At DUCC, we pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. We welcome climbers of all skill levels and backgrounds, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive, contribute, and enjoy the sport. We are also proud to offer climbing opportunities to those who may be physically disabled. If you are handicapped (physically or otherwise) and would like to climb, please reach out and we will work with you to accomodate your needs.

Social Events and Activities: Beyond climbing, we regularly organize social events to strengthen our community bonds and celebrate our achievements. These gatherings are fantastic opportunities to connect with fellow climbers and enrich your university experience.
