The Climbing Lab

Your climbing gym is truly amazing. I’ve never been to a climbing gym with such a variety of problems and climbing surfaces. One major attraction is a huge overhang festooned with complex bouldering problems. There are frequent bouldering competitions and other interesting events. There is a squat rack and gym available as well as a tired and very out of tune piano. The coffee is tasty and there are a variety of snacks and options for the hungry. Parking is pretty plentiful and easy. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. We’re looking forward to going back soon.

The place is always clean, got fresh climbs all the time plus staff are really helpful and the cakes are Devine! It has lots to offer for beginners and competent climbers! Family friendly too!

The best climbing facility you can find. I travel a lot and love climbing so I explored many spaces in the UK and abroad. These guys built something wonderful for the indoor climbing - lots of tracks for novice and experts that are regularly updated (sometimes I don’t manage to “win” the tracks before they are renewed), plus a compact GYM, plus a cafe with snacks and coffee, plus a co-working space. Brilliant.

Decent climbing spot, bit quieter than another local place but still really good (even for an amateur like me).

Even better now they have a huge new area! The cave is my favourite spot and si good to build up confidence on the overhangs.One of my favourite places to come, even sometimes if I'm not climbing ill join my friends and have a coffee. Such a friendly, encouraging atmosphere and great staff. Food and drink on offer is excellent too

Great place, brilliant walls across two large rooms, particularly with the recent expansion. Really worth paying for the monthly subscription if you go more than once per week. And the staff couldn't be friendlier, really easy to spend a few hours at a time here.

Great place to climb! Very social, friendly and the power tunnel and cave section in the new room at the back is right up my street. Big, burly, technical, flowing and long! So good for fitness, strength and flexibility especially because I’m short on time. Also, in the same room there’s a good amount of slab problemsSo I can get a good balance between upper and lower body training. Not to mention how fun and exhilarating it is! Go check it out : )

My son had his 11th birthday party here and everyone had a brilliant time! So many smiles and lots of laughs. Em, Bella and Kev all did brilliantly and were very calm in the midst of 10 very excited 10/11 year old.My family and I also come quite a bit and love it. There is a great variety and it's fun for all our different skill and strength levels.

+ excellent range of climbs+Friendly staff+Allow dogs+serve food-comfortable crash mats+separate Children's rooms/ sections+Study/sitting rooms upstairs- not enough space to walk through the corridor past tables when busy- cramped changing facilities which aren't wheelchair accessible- needs large display of difficulty colour ranges in second hall- no water fountain in first hall- some holds are slippery from over use (esp. Green and orange basic ones)- expensive if paying 1-off-insufficient reductions for buying 10 climbs at once+-could be warmer in cold weather (although some climbers do prefer this...)-limited parking-needs a disabled parking slot

Great bouldering, it's got a new cave and power tunnel section that's made it even better!And now, I'm looking back on it from my experience at other gyms, and it's genuinely the best bouldering gym I know! The people are great, both staff and the community, the routes have a diverse set of gradings, so it is perfect for both neophytes and long time climbers. If you're looking to boulder in Leeds, this is the place for you. Though, keep in mind I've mentioned bouldering several times as there are no sports climbing walls, though, that's not a bad thing as long as you know it when you go in.
