What climbers say about The Newsroom

4.7 out of 5from 682 reviews on Google

“…It's more challenging than the other Arena in Maryhill due to the insloping walls. They have a dedicated Children's arena which is incredibly cute and they host Birthday Parties too.”

Google review,

“The setting was awesome, whom ever is setting there knows the way of the rock. Very minor comp style in the harder grades but stays true to outdoor movement.”

Google review,

“Lots of different wall types and gradients… There is not much space on the mats, even with 50-60 people in the gym we felt very crowded, the gym is not that big.”
