What visitors say
Very sound experience for beginners through to intermediate climbers. There are 3 sections, a free climb area with fall mats, 6 solo climb walls with automatic fall restraint, traditional safety rope assisted walls for the remainder of the center. I would say the best part is that, you are genuinely just left to it, unless you ask for assistance. You get shown how to equip your safety gear and how to use it. Then you are free to go climb. Outstanding! That really sold it for me, no one hanging over you like an overprotective parent. Very enjoyable experience!

Come in yesterday with 5 of my mates for a taster session as we are all novices. Just wanted to thank the lad who took us for the session, I didn’t catch his name but he had curly hair and was fairly young, really knowledgeable and left us all with a great positive first experience. Will definitely be returning

Dylan and Lily were amazing. My daughter had her birthday party and the two of them were amazing. They made every climb fun and for all abilities and even the youngest of the group was not once made to feel anything but comfortable climbing. Amazing and we'll be back. Two assets to the business these guys as well

Where to start with this wonderful little centre! My climbing journey started here over 18 months ago and I doubt it could have begun anywhere better. They have bouldering, top rope, auto belays and lead climbing available. Great to have so much in a single centre. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly with Chris, Sam and the two Dan’s being superb guides. Aaron or Lily on front desk are also superb, engaging and chatty peeps. Climbing is a wonderful and welcoming community, but the NCC is even more open and supportive than the average for sure!
