What people say

"Decent setting also with permaroutes made of wood. Also some comp style and spray board. Staff is nice. They will give you a trick question on the safety waiver, cheeky as the locals might describe 👀❓.Space is crowded though during busy hours, making falling a concern at times. Mats are quite hard compared to the many gyms I’ve been to. Rental shoes in good shape. I am a V18 climber so my opinion is valid always"
