Just completed my beginners rope course this evening and what a brilliant experience! Thank you so much Jude for your very professional and friendly expert instruction with meticulous attention to safety. First class set up with helpful staff and lovely people from beginners to some seriously talented climbers. All ages were enjoying the many different challenges. Thoroughly recommend!

Absolutely best day ever, I have a fear of heights and was really dreading this but turned out to be a really great experience. Trainer Liz (I think 😅) was absolutely amazing really appreciated her calmness which helped me relax and conquer something I never thought possible. Really excited to go back and see how far I can push myself. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart words can't describe how proud I am of myself.

Awesome place for a climb with or without ropes and even some auto belays. They have many bouldering rooms with lots of different challenges and new routes weekly. The roped climbs are superb that really test the stamina but don't forget your own ropes for the lead walls, they truly have a brilliant selection. The guys really acomadate us well, as we take the dog, but the staff love to see him. They are brilliant teachers and have seem them work with different teams from kids to late teens. THEY ARE TOP NOTCH!! when it's time for a rest you should check out the cafe for the mouth watering cake selection all baked in house and lovely proper coffee. Parking is a nightmare tho be warned

Great staff, small cozy cafe, and a nice climbing gym. There’s 3 main areas for bouldering and two for rope. There’s also a room for hang boards, a gym upstairs with a moon board and more hang boards. I think the staff are much more friendly than depot.

Love NCC, been coming here for 2 years and still love it! Still getting used to the new (much harder) grading systems but the climbs are always super fun and well thought out! Couldn’t recommend this gym more!
