Really liked it. So, so many boulders. Very few at the v10/11 level. I did 30 v4s at the end of my session. The step up to v5/6 from 4 is very big. Be ready to lose lots of skin. Holds are all new and compy. They must have spent 200k just on the holds. Went at 6pm and it was too busy. Hard to get on climbs and also not fall on people. Closer to 8pm it was better. Limited campus/hangboard area. Cafe upstairs is awesome but it was empty and out of the way. Too bad it wasn't more prominent as its really nice. Great boulder gym. I hope they keep it maintained unlike other spots in the UK.

I'm really impressed with Brushworks - not just the walls and settings but the amenities like toilets, cafe and workspace all make it a pleasure to be in! Would love some open informal gym area to warm up in (as in TCA centres) but I'm planning to get inducted into the gym so I can warm up properly soon

Great modern bouldering gym with a huge variety of quality problems to climb. The training area is super functional, packed with plenty of equipment, and the boards are a standout feature 🤟 Perfect for a quick pit stop while travelling, easy to drop in, get a solid session done, and hit the road feeling worked.

Excellent facility. Visited Oct 2025. No expense spared on this gym. Top quality throughout. Quality of setting and hold variety are really good and grades are consistent and feel pretty much spot on for indoors bouldering. Changing rooms/toilets and cafe are first class. Finally the coffee is excellent. Best bouldering centre in Scotland in my opinion.

Loved climbing here today. Friendly staff, accessible venue, student discount, huge venue, big car park, easy to get to by bus and great coffee. I like the adjustable climbing walls and the brushes to touch up the holds.
