We booked Clip and Climb after seeing on the website that it was suitable for adults. When we arrived, the session was completely full of kids, something that wasn’t mentioned when we called to book. We left because this wasn’t what we expected or paid for. Why would anyone want to climb surrounded by children if they booked an adult-friendly session? Makes no sense. We asked to change to something more suitable for adults and were offered no real help, except being told we could go bouldering instead. The website is misleading, and the lack of support made it a very disappointing experience.

Utterly cynical and appalling decision by the EICA to introduce parking charges. 99% of visitors are technically exempt from having to pay so long as they register car reg, therefore what is the point of the charges other than to catch out people out? Take your money elsewhere folks, none of the other climbing facilities in Edinburgh will try and sting you like EICA.

Fantastic facility. My 6 year old loved the clip and climb. Don't expect to get much climbing done if you're guiding them!
Frequently Asked Questions

South Platt Hill is open during regular business hours listed above. For any other requirements, make sure to contact the operator directly.
-
Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with The Lighthouse.
-
The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
-
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with The Lighthouse, who is more than happy to help out.
-
Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
