Best for families ready to spend a few hours bouldering, from first-timers to forearm-burning overhang regulars, with a cafe to regroup in.
๐ Funzaroo Verdict
The draw is a large, two-level bouldering centre with clear grading, so beginners can start easy and work up, plus a cross-centre feature called The Beast that sets it apart. Staff come across as patient and inclusive, even with children who get overwhelmed. Weigh that it suits families happy to spend a few hours climbing.

โAttended here with a group of ALN students who had the most wonderful time. A shoutout to Seren who was absolutely incredible with an individual who became quite overwhelmed. She took the time to sit with him and calm him down and explain things in a way that ensured her felt safe. Thank you guys so much for a great day.โ

โThis place is epic, soo big, loved bouldering here! They also have a huge overhang wall that was a real workout for the forearms! Almost forgot to mention the great cafe, coffee, pizzas and some mad doughnuts, they are ridiculously good! Really good for kids 2. Definitely worth checking out :)โ

โOpened mid 2022, this is gym feels purpose built for the space it occupies. A lot of thought, time and effort went to building this place. It is fantastic and amazing! Parking 2 hours free outside and/or validated for up to 8hrs when in. Advance completion of the waiver online is recommended to save hassle and time when you get there. Crazy Climb Swansea is "attached" to this gym too. The (bouldering) gym's facilities include climbing walls over two levels with The Beast connecting the two at the far end. This is a great addition, not many gyms have the ability to pull off (Depot Manchester has one)! My favourite bits were the availability of training kit from harnesses to pulleys, what a brilliant set up. There is "smart" (LED) system board as well. The only thing I was missing was a better circuit board, there is one but it didn't offer the range I needed -but that is personal preference which many won't be bothered about (I wasn't either btw ๐). The other minor point was absence of weights/dumbbell between 17/18 kg to 24kg (first kettlebell). 20kg happens to be my "size" for shoulder press ๐ so had to leave it. Problems set up offer everything from technical, static, to slabs and overhanging juggy and crimpy climbing. Check out their social media for all events they get involved with like speeches, movie nights, etc. What a place, you won't regret visiting!โ

Overview
A big spread of bouldering to grow into, from gentle starter problems to a huge overhang wall that leaves the forearms genuinely spent. The online waiver and safety video get the faff done before arrival, so there's more time on the mats, and the cafe keeps coffee, pizza and a few mad specials coming for climbers taking a breather. Parking and pram access make the arrival easy with little ones in tow.
