Great climbing gym for experienced or new climber. Reasonable prices and decent hire gear if needed. Come here most weeks with my 7 y/o and staff are great. We both recommend the Hot Chocolate.

Amazing experience. Did a taster session and I had the luck of being 1-1 taught that day! The trainer was amazing, I am 127 kg so it was challenging for me but I enjoyed every minute. The trainer was brilliant and was very understanding and accommodating. All of the staff are SO lovely and friendly. Would really recommend if you’re on the heavy side as the auto belays can accommodate up to 150 kg- super inclusive!! I am so proud of myself for reaching the top of the climbing wall TWICE!!! great feeling and really thankful I had a great instructor

We were welcomed yesterday (Sunday 22nd Feb) by a super friendly staff, Lana took the time to sort out monthly membership for us. She was patient and professional, topping the day with an oat chai latte made with love 🙏 . It was 100% getting membership as we got a discount for the drinks- I also managed to forget my harness- but membership meant I could borrow one for the day without being charged ✨ Lead and Boulder Setting is very competition style on over hang walls-moving with the times. (We like this challenge, but also a nice mix of technical crimpy/ slab 6c-7a routes to do 4x4 training on) 🧗 💪 Thanks Parthian team

Completed a lead climbing course here over two days. The place is easy to find, great parking, good food and most importantly good climbs. Our instructor was very helpful and taught us good techniques to build upon. The bouldering area has some great routes and even if you don't have someone to belay there are plenty of routes on the auto belays, or which there are about 6. If I am in Southampton again I will visit Parthian again. Cheers Flo our instructor and the rest of the team

Parthian lead training was one of the best ❤️ The instructors are knowledgeable and clear on instructions and very friendly but professional the way they support throughout the training. We had team of all abilities in climbing, the course carefully supported everyone. Even the ones who didnt like hights or falling or very new to rope climbing. I really enjoyed the practice time I received as a belayer and on the lead line. It made me feel confident as we progress into the day two. 😌 I cannot thank you all enough for the awesome lead training sessions you have put together. It definitely made me aware of common mistakes and what to look for and how to be safe in lead climbing.
