What is inside

The Mothership is TCA’s bouldering centre in Bristol, with two floors of problems rather than roped climbing. The current centre page also lists training boards, a gym, treatment room, café, climbing shop, showers, changing rooms and bike parking.

First visit

New climbers can book an optional bouldering induction, while people who already understand the safety basics can complete the required forms and safety video before arriving. You do not need a climbing partner for bouldering. For ropes, use TCA’s separate Church venue rather than expecting them at The Mothership.

Getting there

The centre is on Barrow Road in Bristol and advertises free parking. Problems are reset across both floors, so it works for both a first session and regular training. Confirm the latest opening, peak-period and youth information on the official TCA page.
