Interesting range of bouldering with walls up to 4.5 m. Downstairs training area. Good selection of shoes and other climbing accessories for sale. Soft grading 6C here is probably 5+ at Ibex in Darlington.

Great place to climb, everyone there is lovely and helps you with whatever they can

Fantastic bouldering centre located right in the heart of the ouseburn. The centre is really well illuminated, there is ample storage and many problems to solve. Grades are coloured so easy to identify difficulty level and they use griptonite to log climbs. Training area downstairs is excellent though approval needed for under 18s to train there. Two moon boards. Some weight and cardio gear etc too. It's generally an older crowd in the centre overall, very few if any young climbers in when we've visited. My daughter has just turned 7 and I'd guess the next youngest was 16. Pretty friendly vibe overall, although we did have one guy get very aggressive when my daughter was climbing a problem adjacent to him. There was a good metre separating the problems at the closest point and he was climbing quite static, but clearly felt as though could cause injury if coming off on a dynamic move. His point may have had some validity of it weren't for the fact he was ranting like a spoiled child. Other than that everyone else has been spot on! Customers really friendly and welcoming even though it's been really busy. Staff are excellent. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Gave us some great coaching tips and advice. Coffee really good too. They could maybe do with some more storage cubicles. Car parking is tight but there is some on street parking just would be wise to be respectful of other residents further up. Update: Still a member months later and still loving it. Rules on having to be on mats with anyone under 16 is annoying and unnecessary. Any younger climber climbing here is likely very competent and safety aware.

Really good gym, with plenty of good routes, an excellent training area, and friendly staff. Having all the routes registered on the griptonite app really helped the experience as I was there on my own and it gave me goals and focus to my session. Good coffee too!

Fantastic bouldering with a nice and friendly atmosphere, as for the problem setting WELL its as good as it comes with grades right across the range. Go and see for your self you will not be disappointed. 💪👍

Nice climbing centre and relatively large, staff are always friendly. It does get busy so be prepared to wait around if you're going at peak times. There's a good variety of climbs but unless you're relatively skilled, there isn't too much variation. The easier climbs are replaced much less often than the more advanced ones so there is little re-visit quality unless you're climbing 5+ or above.

As a beginner I have plenty of routes to try out. My more advanced friends enjoy the facility as well.

Fantastic facilities, routes are varied and updated on a regular cycle. The main climbing area is a great size with plenty on offer. The also use Griptonite, so you can easily log and track your progress. The training area and gym in the basement is nearly as big as the main area, awesome! Changing rooms, lockers, hot showers, and fresh coffee, what more do you need!?

Great customer service and a fun friendly place. My son is now obsessed with climbing so bought us monthly memberships and aim to come a few times per week. Staff always friendly, super helpful and polite

Great bouldering facilities but the setting could use some more variety

Absolutely love the setting here. Such a wide range of climbs, seemingly suited to all climbers. One of my favourite gyms 🖤

I'm only a novice when it comes to Bouldering, but I found the routes at Valley varied but challenging. It's a very big open space too, so even when it's busy it doesn't really feel like it.

The best bouldering wall in the north east by a long shot and the staff are very friendly too. A dedicated world Cup style wall and large training area can also be found here

Great gym and very well equipped. Problems are set to humble you though. Geordies are a tough bunch. Respect!

Best climbing gym in the north east, always updating sets and so much variety in terms of styles of climbing. Staff are always very friendly and willing to give advice when requested :-)

Really great bouldering centre with tonnes of climbs of varying difficulty, very friendly accessible vibe for people who climb a lot or who are just trying it out. There is a little cafe area on the side too for a refuel after a climb. It also has changing facilities and a massive warmup area below the main climbing space. Parking available outside but can be full very quickly, so might be worth parking further up Byker Bank.

Best bouldering centre in the north east by far. Really friendly helpful staff and excellent services and equipment

I visit here often as it's one of the best venues for bouldering in the N/E. Their layout and route setting cannot be faulted. The only reason for no 5* is that the centre suffers from a lot of chalk dust hanging in the air

A comfortable environment with a challenging climbing experience. Hot drinks are provided and the staff are friendly.

Funny afternoon out with friendly staff.. First time trying out anything like this and felt very welcome. The centre has a friendly backpackers sorta vibe...

Loved it, I climb regularly in the north west but was visiting this way and decided to to give this place a try, there's plenty of routes to try with adequate area to rest and socialise.

Staff friendly and good choice of bouldering. My preferred place for bouldering indoors locally. Can be busy depending on day and time.

Large center with a great traning area. The boulders are too soft for me.

If you like bouldering then this is the place for you in newcastle, there are lots of places to climb but for a solid bouldering experience then this is the place for you. 10/10 would recommend

Great climbing centre with plenty of variety, good selection of shoes on offer and very helpful staff, Bella was excellent and trying to help me decide on a new set of shoes as my decade old pair are looking worse for wear, very busy centre, but very freindly staff and patrons

Great day out for all the family, though i think I broke something I didn't know I had, but it will heal once I pop it back in... OUCH!!! lol

Great bouldering gym, plenty of options but can get a little too busy during peak hours
