Splat HQ Having been enjoying the climbing here at the boulder bunker l, my teenagers came with some friends from their youth group to try out the new Splat HQ and had an absolute blast. Caz and Alan were really welcoming, and the boys said it was brilliant fun and a great evening out for their friendship group. Would definitely recommend!

Super impressed with The boulder bunker, this gym is a true throwback to grass roots climbing! Upon arrival Andy was super friendly, informative and even gave us a quick tour / walk round! We started off in the very well kitted out "training room" which has some moon boards, beast makers, weights etc and is one of a few gyms that still has a climbing lattice. After a warm up we headed into the main climbing area which is a decent side and is lined wall to wall with a variety of climbs all the way from "easy" up to "ludicrous" in difficulty. Each climb had a unique name as well which is a nice touch and added some humour as we made our way round! Andy did specify the grades are set to "V" grade but is not listed on the wall, I appreciated this as it doesn't immediately put you off if you see something of a higher grade. I spent around 2 hours climbing various routes and they were all great fun and well set! Nothing felt too hard or silly. I still had a lot climbs left when I had to leave so there's plenty to go at even on a longer visit. If you're in the Devon area or even further afield and want a more unique old school climbing experience definitely check out the Boulder Bunker, as a climber you will not regret it! Side note: This is also a great centre for kids as well, Andy runs UV discos and other events which are suited to younger audiences!

A unique bouldering experience. My son and I had a great time here today. It was our third straight day climbing and a hot day, so I'd thought we'd been in and out within an hour, but we easily spent two hours here doing lots of interesting problems both for warm up and serious challenges (we are intermediate level). Of course, there were plenty of problems well beyond our ability so I expect advanced / expert climbers will easily find challenges here too. The community also seems super friendly as we ended up getting very welcome tips and encouragement from two other climbers. What made it feel so unique? The building it was in - not a large industrial estate one, but a charming one with history I'm sure, in the city centre; the feel of the gym in general - it just has personality, and in all the right ways; and the training area - it has a lattice board, which I've never seen before (this is our twelfth climbing centre) and another kind of board where you pull out the rods as you go up, inserting them into the holes above as you go (no idea what it's called). Anyway, anyone who is interested in having a different climbing experience should visit here when in town. A real gem!
