What visitors say
Amazing climbing gym! Has lots of leat routes, top rope, autobelay and bouldering. Also has a speed climbing wall. Be warned - it is inconvenient to get to if you don't have a car, I had to take a bus then walk for 45 minutes. Despite that, I had an amazing time. The cafe food was delightful and there's some great viewing platforms to watch people climb.

Bouldering, lead and top rope all available at this amazing location on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Something for everyone. There is also a kids zone and cafe. Can be very cold in the winter due to the size and the fact it's really just a quarry with a roof on it. 😂

Quality place people of all ages. Fantastic building with plenty to do and places to eat/refresh. Free parking for customers too.

Would highly recommend. I took my 5 year old daughter on Friday to the clip and climb, and the staff were absolutely amazing. My daughter was very nervous to start with and the staff, particularly Joe, made sure she felt safe and spent time helping to build her confidence. By the end of the hour she was going up to the top of the walls by herself, we’ll definitely be back.
