Become a Family MemberBrilliant place to go. Starts easy for beginners and gets harder and more challenging the better you get at it. A good place to start your rock climbing experience and a safe way to improve yourself in rock climbing. The great thing about this place is that they supply everything you need and the teacher there are very good. Good for all ages, from young to old great and safe place to be.
My son and I had a taster session on Sunday last week. I had never climbed before. Rose was our instructor, she was calm, very encouraging, enthusiastic about climbing and couldn’t do enough to help us. Thanks to her we are going back again soon. The place is great - a really well designed use of the space. Being a newbie I don’t know how it stacks up for professional climbers but there seems to be plenty of variety in climbing routes and they change them from time to time. I think you could go many times and find a new challenge each time. Highly recommended, thanks Rose!
Have been having a great time taking my 4 & 7 year olds here. I did the refresher course as it’s been a while since I climbed properly. The staff are very patient with you, it’s a nice relaxed atmosphere.
Highly recommended! This place was just amazing! The all staffs here (and in particular, Brendan - sorry if I might write it incorrectly) made my first climbing so memorable. At reception, they patiently provided us with detailed information though we were completely new and knew nothing about the place. When it came to the climbing, they were so friendly and cheerful. They also had an ability to engage with clients in the loviest manner. Will definitely come back.
Love the staff, great climbing with features and angles, I got great information from Brandon. You can use the other alien facility in the same day free of charge if you got the power
