Yesterday I had my first ever climbing session which was the induction at the Climbing Lab. They absolutely smashed taking me through an introduction to climbing and their fabulous setup. Although I have loads of things to work on I'm buzzing

Went for my first ever climbing session and really enjoyed myself! Walls have decent grading and it's very easy to tell the difference through the colour system. Friendly staff and really good vibe to the place. Coffee in the cafe was really nice too. Would recommend and come back again.

Great climbing wall. Really spacious so you don't feel like you're on top if each other. There's a separate kids room. Good variety of climbs. I wish you could lock the lockers - you need to bring your own padlock. Otherwise can't fault it.

It's a great place for bouldering in Leeds. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are loads of climbing opportunities for every level, even for kids. And they had a good selection of snacks, too

The best climbing facility you can find. I travel a lot and love climbing so I explored many spaces in the UK and abroad. These guys built something wonderful for the indoor climbing - lots of tracks for novice and experts that are regularly updated (sometimes I don’t manage to “win” the tracks before they are renewed), plus a compact GYM, plus a cafe with snacks and coffee, plus a co-working space. Brilliant.
