Alien Rock is quite simply the coolest rock climbing club I’ve ever been to. Built inside a converted church right on the edge of the Firth of Forth it combines a simply amazing venue with great facilities and a challenging variety of walls that cater to both the absolute beginner as well as more experienced climbers.

Head there in the early evening with a few good friends before things really heat up and stay til close - its a great way to spend an evening.

Alien Rock is a great place to spend some time, they have a lot of different graded climbs and whether you're a novice or an experienced climber they will have something for you.
You can take your own gear or hire some on site and the staff are always friendly and willing to give you some advice or handy tips before or during a climb.
There is also a room upstairs where you can practice on overhangs, small grips etc.

They do have a small shop so you can pick up well-needed refreshment.
Well worth a visit

The original and some still say the best. This old church has been converted into a climbing center that challenges all abilities. They have hire facilities for shoes and harnesses, basic top roped walls and challenging leading routes. There is even a little shop there for those wishing to purchase their own quality gear with expert advice. It’s not fancy, it’s not plush, it’s down to earth getting up high. Well worth a climb.
