What visitors say

Sam Robinson

Quality roped climbing venue, with a good mix of delectably spicy and delightful toprope and lead routes. Great staff, vibes, and excellent setting. Routes are much closer to the outdoor equivalents than other nearby venues in terms of technical capability. Great flow, mix of styles in my humble opinion. They offer bookings for groups and birthdays. The space is heated. Taking the sting out of the atmospheric Scottish weather, during winter, autumn, and potential rare to mythical 4 season days throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Highly recommended! This place was just amazing! The all staffs here (and in particular, Brendan - sorry if I might write it incorrectly) made my first climbing so memorable. At reception, they patiently provided us with detailed information though we were completely new and knew nothing about the place. When it came to the climbing, they were so friendly and cheerful. They also had an ability to engage with clients in the loviest manner. Will definitely come back.

Awesome setting, good pricing, and tons of top rope routes with a few challenging lead routes. Great for all levels of experience and styles. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to all climbers.

Love the staff, great climbing with features and angles, I got great information from Brandon. You can use the other alien facility in the same day free of charge if you got the power
