The Climbing Academy

Jordan- Berg
Investment Executive

“This new project, made possible with the help of FW Capital, marks the next significant milestone in our journey, aiming to further enhance our facilities.”

Alan Cassidy, Founder, The Climbing Academy

The Climbing Academy’s Mothership venue was able to carry out extensive refurbishment and create three new jobs in Bristol after receiving a six-figure funding boost from the British Business Bank's South West Investment Fund.

The Mothership is The Climbing Academy’s flagship centre and has hosted bouldering, a gym, a functional fitness rig, Campus Board, Moon Board, endurance circuits, fingerboards, treatment room, café and climbing shop. 

The £460,000 investment provided helped transform The Mothership by enabling the construction of a new building to create a chalk-free reception, café, shop and an impressive new mezzanine viewing platform.
