Great range of lead rope, auto belay and top rope climbs. Well graded and plenty of options for me at 5-6 grade level, and my partner who is slightly higher. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything looked clean and tidy. Went off peak during the day, so not particularly busy and cost £12.50, although I think this is expensive and would be prohibitive for many locals. Only slight grumble - some of the top ropes were quite ‘sticky’ and tricky through the belay device. Otherwise an all round good climbing centre which I would highly recommend. Like the repurposing of churches!

Great day out for keen athletes, or even those interested in trying climbing for the first time! Staff are very helpful and friendly. And the cafe is lovely as well with good selections of food.

Awesome climbing centre and a great use of an old building - Countless autobelays of a really decent height, with interesting and varied route setting throughout. What a gem! 🧗

The atmospheric climbing location. This is a superb place for learning and very kid friendly. The constant chilled beats in the background eases you in. Need to have completed a course to take in up to 2 non members to climb. Great variety of technically challenging walls. This is a busy place and rightly so. The staff are superb and offer help. There are changing rooms, toilets and a shower. There is a shop for your climbing needs. In the basement there is bouldering floor which is also challenging with good mats. The balcony cafe has a good mix to offer from toasties, sandwiches and salads. Usually soup as well as some curry. Vegan and veggies are covered. Staff friendly.
