This is one of the greatest places to hang out in Bristol! If you're thinking about getting into climbing, don't hesitate - sign yourself up for their beginners' course. It costs around forty pounds for two evenings of two hours each and you get great tuition and the chance to meet some nice people to climb with too! There'a a really great bouldering wall, which does get busy but you can always pop upstairs where there's a smaller, quieter one. The toproping section has a variety of levels and although it gets really packed on weekday evenings, particularly in winter, you can normally get on a rope without having to hang around. The Lead section has lots of the intermediate and more difficult climbs, although if you're new to leading, there's only a few climbs at Grade 5 - I guess you'll just have to learn quickly! read more
