All required equipment hire is included in the course.

I took my two young grandsons for a beginners course on the climbing walls. The two instructors were very efficient in explaining the techniques and careful with the safety involved. The courses lasted for one and a half hours, that’s about the right length of time.

This was my first time on a climbing wall and i can confirm that from the experience that i will be returning. I have to say thank you to Anthony who was an excellent coach and explained everything very well and made the experience what it was. The climbing for a beginner was perfect and as my confidence grew Anthony led us to more technical parts of the wall to keep us on our toes. Finishing off on the bouldering wall was fun but hard work and our new found skills were pushed to the maximum trying the various degrees of difficulty. If like me you are a newby to indoor climbing i would thoroughly recommend this climbing centre.

I wanted to try an activity that could keep me fit, but I needed it to be fun! It is a lot harder than it looks, but that's what I like about it. The instructor who I had was great, had lots of knowledge and patience! Would definitely suggest everyone gives this a go.

Our instructor Betts was very patient, informative and friendly - we all had a great time, pushed our limits in a safe and fun environment. We will certainly visit again!

My son wanted to learn to climb and do bouldering as part of his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh program and so l learnt you could do a climbing qualification. He absolutely loves it and its something he looks forward to every week. He has always liked climbing and this is enabling him to gain the skills and experience he needs. The staff are great, very experienced and helpful.

Great climbing wall. Very friendly atmosphere and some excellent route setting. Good bouldering and training facilities. Also a local microbrewery has set up a tap room about 50m away!
