A few of us went as a group, we had a great time. Unfortunately one of our group passed out when leaving and was unconscious. Cleo and one of her colleagues were fantastic in dealing with the situation. Very friendly and professional, when the friend came round Cleo put his mind at ease with her friendly and professional approach. Thank you!

Great gym but the staff are even better. I dislocated my finger here today and they couldn't have been more helpful. Specific shout-outs to Joe who sorted the Uber to the hospital for me and the jacked guy in the blue t-shirt. I didn't get his name but he helped me pack all my things up and get my shoes on. Thanks heaps guys ❤️

I have been coming to the LGBT+ Social at Rock Over for a couple of months now. Not only are the members of staff extremely friendly and offer guidance where needed, with no pressure, the attendees and the regular climbers do too. It is a warm, welcoming environment for newcomers and experienced people alike. Route setting is great for all abilities and the different areas (such as the cave) all present unique challenges.

This place is a quirky and unique climbing spot, that has its own charm. With routes ranging from beginner to advanced, there is something for everyone. The Hub can feel a bit daunting at first, but it is incredibly fun once you get started! The staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a fantastic place to climb just outside the town centre. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive, making everyone feel welcome.

Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.
