Very nice little gym in East Oxford and I really enjoyed my visit! It's got a good spread of different boulders at different grades, featuring different challenges. Plenty for beginners and more advanced climbers shouldn't get bored. I'm closer to the beginner end of the scale and I found there was plenty to keep me occupied.nnParticularly enjoyed the rock feature wall and looking at climbers' contributions. It would be even better to come back as part of a group.nnPossible criticism is that it's on the small side? but with rents being what they are in East Oxford, I'm not all that surprised. It's liquid chalk-only, but I don't really mind that much. Prices are about what I've come to expect from gyms in the south of England and slightly cheaper than London!.
Fantastic space!nWide range of good routes, as well as a “real” rock wall, a traverse wall with lots of different kinds of hold and footing to try out, a small warmup/work out space and well-kept restrooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I didn’t know ahead of time that this is a liquid-chalk only gym, so they kindly let me use their sample stuff for my time there, as I’m just visiting from out of the country, and didn’t have my own. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Thank you!
This is an absolute gem of a bouldering wall. It's tucked in to a little estate between Iffley and Cowley Roads, and only a couple of minutes from central Oxford. The gym is clean and tidy, and has a great range of problems from the very easiest to the frankly impossible. Friendly staff, lovely coffee, great music! Strongly recommend.
Amazing place. Staff lovely, coffee great, pizzas outstanding but most of all the kids loved climbing. Probably not for really little kids but mine are 11,13,16 and all had a blast. I needed to take a supervisor course first. It was easy, took about 20mins but worth knowing the hazards before we started! We will be back, a lot.
The space itself is great. The people are lovely and the atmosphere is good, the gym has enough equipment to train properly.nThe problem is the setting and it's catering towards intermediate boulderers. The grading for the 5+-6b ranges is extremely inconsistent from set to set, and although I'm not a setter I feel like they haven't been tested enough to suit people of all morphologies and to make sure the grading is appropriate difficult when grades are coloured. This means that either things are very easy or you are totally shut down on moves with no alternative way of solving the block. Maybe this feeling is also due to the sets generally being small so there is normally only a handful of climbs that are within your grade. A better progression through the grades would be much better, or potentially a number system for grading instead of colours.nI have just moved to Oxford and have done a lot of training in other gyms, I think if I had started here I don't think I would have been climbing for so long. I come here, try the sets and end up annoyed and frustrated, and normally just do gym training or the boards. I am not the only climber of my level who feels the same. The only thing that keeps me here are the lovely people, the boards and the gym, I'm moving away in the NY, but if I were to stay I would go to brookes. It's such a shame and I really hope that this can be improved.
