Decent setting also with permaroutes made of wood. Also some comp style and spray board. Staff is nice. They will give you a trick question on the safety waiver, cheeky as the locals might describe 👀❓.Space is crowded though during busy hours, making falling a concern at times. Mats are quite hard compared to the many gyms I’ve been to. Rental shoes in good shape. I am a V18 climber so my opinion is valid always

had a really lovely experience with Asjad when trying out climbing shoes to buy! he spent a lot of time trying to help me out with which shoes would work best for me and didn’t miss a step with offering alternatives based on my thoughts on the shoes i tried on. 10/10, would recommend, will also be making the trip back here soon! (and sorry again Asjad for taking up so much of your time!)

Visited on Boxing day for the first time. Great bouldering place with a good mix of problems across grades. Routes are well set and regularly changed (I've been told), so there’s always something new to work on. Clean space, solid facilities, and a friendly atmosphere without feeling intimidating. The crowd is a good mix of beginners and experienced climbers. I'm used to weightlifting however this pushes you in different ways - definitely popping back.

The place would have decent potential with the right maintenance and proper investment. Hygiene definitely to be improved. Very average boulder problems: some of them poorly designed and risky. Great emphasis at the entrance on safety, which is great, but the gym was extremely crowded and those safety aspects are practically compromised. I have been climbing since 1993 and this experience has been a jump back to the past.

Great gym. One of my favourite of LCC gyms. Huge amount of climbs that are regularly reset and excellently set. One wall is reset roughly each week so there is always plenty of fresh sets. It has some huge range of wall angles, including caves, slabs, barrels, overhangs, good arete features and even some great traverse walls. This is my favourite part of the gym. Even within each wall there will be a variety of angles and features, they really squeeze it in. Regular gyms often have lots of flat 2D sections, this feels like it has more 3D movement? The setting features lots of crimps and old school climbs but they also have ana amazing comp wall, full of macros and big dynos. I always get psyched by the climbs Other features - spray wall - woodie - decent gym (no cables). - camps rungs - rings - circuit board Often busy but always friendly. Always have a good time Highly recommend!
