Edinburgh International Climbing Arena
Life is for climbing
Welcome to the EICA:Ratho
In just one day you can experience the ultimate adrenaline rush of our Aerial Assault course, take on one of our mighty walls in the world’s largest climbing arena and then end the day with a relaxing soak in our tranquil spa. Even the kids can have their own big day out. From the climbing tower to Scrambles soft play, there is something for all ages.
Aerial assault
Are you brave enough to take on our Aerial Assault? Take a leap of faith and step off a platform 100ft above the arena, fly down the death-defying twisted zip slide and then follow a series of formidable obstacles. By the end you will definitely deserve a dip in our spa to unwind.
Abseiling
If your legs aren’t still shaking like jelly from the Aerial Assault, why not really test your head for heights and lower yourself down the front of our windows like Spiderman? From a platform above the arena, face your fears, step backwards and let it all go!
Climbing
At the largest indoor climbing arena in the world, it’s a bit of a given that you’ll want to try out our mighty walls. From the ‘Tower’ to the ‘Hanger’, we’ve got something for all the family to tackle. If you’ve never climbed before, just give us a call and we can book you into a taster course.
Bouldering
After you’ve mastered climbing on the walls, try it without the hassle of ropes and harnesses. Our boulders may not be as high but that doesn’t make them easy…there’s a number of technically challenging routes to get your brain ticking and body working.
Mobile Tower
If the kids aren’t quite ready for the arena, our mobile climbing tower is an excellent way to get started for all those older than 4 years old. With the supervision of one of our instructors and an auto belay system, they can swing down in the safety of a harness.
Scrambles Soft Play
The younger ones can also experience the excitement of the EICA. Our climbing themed soft play allows them to enjoy exploring, swinging and climbing , while you can look on from the comfort of our café. Suitable for 0 – 9 years old.
Gym / Fitness Classes
Don’t fancy extreme adventures? Why not try out our gym which boasts top of the range cardio and strength equipment, where you can have a fantastic workout while looking onto the spectacular view of the old quarry. Or if you prefer working out with others, check out our website for a full list of fitness classes.
Spa
After experiencing our adrenaline pumping activities at the EICA, what better way to end your day than by escaping to our hidden sanctuary. With a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, you can take it easy and soak away the hours.
