alien bloc is our dedicated bouldering wall and is suitable for all climbing abilities, from the complete novice to experienced climber, whether you visit individually or with friends.
Ropes are not required, making it easy to get into the fun of climbing almost immediately! All you need are rock climbing shoes and a chalk bag, both are available for hire.
alien bloc is a space for climbers to enjoy, a modern wall with everything you need to climb, train or just have a great time.
Climbers visit us for our welcoming atmosphere, unique setting and awesome team. Not to mention the famous heating system that keeps us warm and cosy during the harsh winter months!
At alien we are all climbers and we have been sharing our passion for over 30 years.
When it first opened in 1994, alien rock was the first dedicated climbing wall in Scotland. Today we are your local independent climbing wall in Edinburgh.
Join our friendly community of climbers and become an “alien”.
