“Today was our first visit for our family induction session. Our instructor (Seena, so sorry if misspelled) was warm, friendly and fantastic with our two young children. He made us feel really comfortable and explained things in a clear and concise way. We look forward to coming back to enjoy some more climbing. 🙂”

“Brilliant new bouldering venue that puts Lancashire firmly on the map. Great, friendly atmosphere. Definite high level of climbing ability on show but routes are spread evenly across all difficulties. Ancient route setting masters reseting the routes frequently. Drinks and snacks available but no larger meals yet unfortunately. It can get a little busy around 8 on weekdays (please be considerate to the other businesses when parking here).”
