Fantastic new climbing centre

I tried everything this climbing center has to offer & I was pleasantly surprised by how good my experience was. I believe in a year or two when it’s fully open and the climbs are more accurately graded it could easily become one of the best in the UK.

They cater to every type of climber, with great challenging lead climbing, plenty of auto belays, loads of bouldering problems, a kids’ area, a training area, and a gym currently under construction. The cafe was decent, and I’m told they’ll start serving food soon, which is exciting. The staff were friendly and attentive, even on the very busy day I visited.
