Depot Climbing Birmingham

Travelled to Depot for their selection of shoes. A lovely, patient staff member spent a lot of time helping me with them and the trip was well worth it. The climbing was also great.

Super interesting setting and a great place to learn, but practically impossible to climb comfortably during the winter as they never turn the heating on.

Lots to like here - plenty of fun routes, lovely training area, good coffee, shop, parking on site. Can get a bit busy, but there's always something to climb. I just wish the route setting didn't leave me frequently frustrated that I'm not taller! (I appreciate that if I was a better/stronger/more dynamic climber this might be less of an issue... but I've also climbed at enough walls that don't make me feel like that to know it isn't inevitable!)

I have been going here every Monday and Wednesday for over a year now. It's great for me and the people I go with. Really good pricing for students and always plenty to do with the regular changes they do.

Great spot for climbing. Routes change frequently enough so you get enough time to try them all but not get bored! Also has a gym type area upstairs.Cafe and free board games at reception.

Lots of bouldering, lots of space. I found the range within the grade bands to be good and nicely challenging at my level. Well stocked shop and good coffee. Looks like extensive training facilities but I didn't explore or use them. Good range of brushes to buy! Can store your bikes inside the centre: a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and revisit.Why not 5 stars? That would require an equivalent cafe to the one at the GCC. Not been to a climbing centre that comes near to rivalling that cafe!

Great place to boulder! Had some good challenges/problems.Loved their upstairs warm up station with the parallel bars and pull up bars.Bought a sports bra from here too, which is brilliant quality.They offer student discount.Friendly staff. Very welcoming environment. So much fun... looking forward to going back.

This bouldergym in Birmingham seems to have it all.It’s in an old warehouse in the industrial part of town. It’s big, with many, many extras.Good training area with everything you need, large shop and bar with good coffee and really good music all around the gym. Speakers everywhere. I guess music wise it comes down to taste, but at least it’s nowhere too loud or soft.So how’s the climbing? Great actually! Lots and lots of problems from horizontal overhangs to balance acts on slab.To be honest I haven’t seen a gym abroad which focuses on technical slab problems like here. Big plus when your arms are pumped and want to do something else. And no top-outs! I really don’t like those….Things it lacks. Again no app to see exactly what grade you just flashed. And it’s lacking a bit on the cozy department, but if your here only for the climbing. Really great option!Want to see more reviews follow me on ig #boulderblogeurope

Really friendly atmosphere - luckily I was being shown around by a friend and she knew plenty of people in there so I saw how social it can be! I stuck mainly to whites and greens but tried a couple blues despite it being my first time everyone was so fun and encouraging I even tried an easy one with just one hand thanks to the encouragement of the people who go there often. It’s a must try for everyone and for me; a must go again too.The coffee with a twist of vanilla option tasted amazing, plus they had really nice flapjacks.

Visited today for the first time as a beginner at climber. The staff were friendly particularly the gentleman on reception today! Loved the hot chocolate and board games. Although I struggled a little as a beginner, I would definitely recommend it for those with more experience
