Climb 2 Recovery (C2R) is a charity for wounded, injured and sick (WIS) veterans aiming to support both physical and mental recovery through a series of mountaineering and climbing courses.
Members of C2R receive initial training in ‘lead climbing’ using ‘Traditional protection’ on single pitch climbing crags in the UK. Once competent participants can join a number of club events around the UK. Members can also train as multi-pitch climbers.
For those wishing to pursue formal qualifications Climb2Recovery sponsor members through the hierarchy of climbing and mountaineering qualifications, including, Rock climbing instructor, Mountain leader and the more advanced Mountaineering and Climbing instructor award.
Additionally, we are running a number of overseas expeditions and winter skills events in
2021/2022.

Climb 2 Recovery are looking to recruit a number of new members during 2021. We are looking for WIS veterans and service personal who have an interest in climbing, mountaineering and the outdoors. No experience is required as we can train you from complete beginner stage. We also welcome anyone who already has mountaineering and climbing experience.
