The Westfjords Climbing Club has the aim and purpose of promoting the progress of climbing sports in the Westfjords. It runs a climbing gym and works on building up outdoors climbing areas.

The club runs a non-profit indoor climbing gym in Ísafjörður that is open to the public. It´s located at Mjallargata 4, in Ísafjörður.

The opening hours of the indoor climbing gym are as follows:

Mondays from 17 to 19:30
Wednesdays from 20 to 22
Thursdays from 16:30 to 18 (Family session, the youngest kids)
Sundays from 16 to 18 (Family session, all ages)

It´s popular to host kids birthday parties in the climbing gym´s facilities. It costs 30.000 ISK to have the facilities for two hours.
