Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and it has a great community vibe. Loads of options for whatever climbing you're into- a big bouldering area, loads of top rope and lead routes, and lots of autobelays too. And they reset the routes regularly too so you never get bored of doing the same thing. Started climbing after I moved to Cardiff and didn't know anyone- quickly made a load of new friends as well as getting fitter and have since been on loads of holidays with the friends I've made here

Met with a guy who greeted us at reception, he was very polite, friendly and was very informative of what we needed to do. Amazing bouldering center with plenty of space, has a cafe and essentials for climbing sold such as climbing tape, other climbing accessories. Has toilets and are cleaned regularly. Very happy with our visit and we will definitely be back soon! All the staff were exceptionally helpful and made sure to help with any questions we had! 100% recommend and i in our opinion the best climbing center in the area!

Took my partner and son for a last minute booking. They absolutely loved it. Plenty of parking. The place is clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. There's a little cafe which serves a great cuppa tea. I would highly recommend 👌

First time coming to this centre and doesnt disappoint. Staff were friendly and happy to help. A good choice of routes from beginner to advanced. I haven’t been climbing in a while so back to mostly basics but some interesting diagonal traverses for beginners which is so much nicer than just the standard going up and down. Only seen one other centre to do routes similar to that. Be interested to see the harder routes once I up my grade again. Will be back for sure.

Always the best time - staff are really friendly, routes are constantly changing and offer a good range of challenge, loads of options and opportunities to try out new activities and nice options in the cafe! Can’t recommend highly enough to climbers of any experience level.
