Boulder Central

Had great fun here for my brother's birthday with a couple of mates.

Small carpark out front and easy check in- though do remember you'll need a little time for this- people who've climbed more often can check in novices and it's good for a range of abilities.

I was stupid enough to go still with stupid long nails, so as a little point i'll say maybe don't do that yourselves to make the most of your time £10 for a day pass (I think 8 for members maybe?).

There's a little cafe with cake, toasties, hot and cold drinks (soy etc available), basic changing rooms, loos, car park, and they do hold classes too.

They provide little chalk bags, and let you get on with it on a range of colour coded courses, downstairs, and the small upstairs. The crash mats are generously deep and squishy, and there are some good challenges to get your fingertips stuck into.

It was cold, which is the nature of the building, so i'd advise a hoodie you can take off once you're into it in the winter. I don't know how warm it gets in the summer months.

Very cool place for climbing/bouldering!!!
Suitable for starters novices and experts.
Really enjoying every time I am there.
Also a good place for a first or second date ;)
Very exciting routes which changes monthly I think.
You will pay 10 £ for a day pass incl. climbing shoes.
Looking forward for my next sessions.

I started going here last year, mainly because it's the closest climbing wall to me. It has taken me a while to learn the basics, but despite some self doubts to start with, I am left with no regrets for sticking with it. The staff are friendly, patient, supportive, with a good passion and knowledge for climbing. I now love it and I am working up to higher grades with more confidence, thanks to the helpful staff. It's a great combination of problem solving, fun physical activity, and continuous learning. They provide parking a cafe/shop that serves a great cup of coffee, equipment rental if required, changing rooms, and is suitable for kids and adults of just about all ages.
