Great climbing gym that's a 10 minute cycle from my house. I'm primarily a roped climber, so I enjoy the fact there is a roped gym so close to me. I come regularly to the socials (the LGBTQIA+ on Monday and the Roped in on Wednesday). Lots of friendly people. The routes are interesting, fun and challenging - although I don't always agree with the grades! Love the cafe which I can use as a break from climbing - I can also buy lunch if I come on a weekend! I feared then when Font took over things would change for the worse; however, that hasn't been the case. Everything is more or less running how it was, except with an upgraded booking system.

attitude on certain staff members is shocking.. sit there hiking prices every year aswell meanwhile adding absolutely nothing to the center.. I understand that we live in an economy where things naturally cost more than they did but its just ridiculous. I wouldnt be so bothered about the prices but the buildings run down, Heating is absolutely minimal so just forget coming in winter. staff meanwhile have a very horrible attitude except a few, setting is BORING. onto the next. go to the climbing hangar in reading

This was an amazing venue to go climbing at, where I was checked in quickly at reception and asked appropriate safety questions. The walls go as high as you'd expect and have grips that range in difficulty level, going up to small ones that are spread out and diagonal routes is also a bonus!

Awesome place. Friendly staff to get you booked in. Wide selection of bouldering and even a gym upstairs which is fantastic for building strength and crimping methods. Love the fact there is plenty of desk space in the cafe for those who want to work and climb at the same time. Coffee really good too.
