    We took our three daughters aged 5,7 & 8 for a taster session on Sunday and they absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and a big thank you to Ellie who was the girls instructor. She was great and help and encouraged the girls all through the session. Will definitely be back

    The gym is a new bouldering only addition to the Alien Rock collection in Edinburgh. It is fantastic, the walls are brilliant and have interesting features (including a deathstar) and the routes are amazing - a great range of styles and levels which use the wall features really well. I have been to quite a few bouldering gyms as i travel with work and this is by far the most thought out with the best variety

    What a great place to climb. Staff are really nice and will give you any advice you require. If you new or a veteran climber you'll enjoy this place.

    Excellent centre with friendly staff. Lots of interesting features to the wall and plenty of different angles to climb on. Really enjoyed our visit and would love to come again. Only downside to mention is that the grading was pretty soft, however that's a positive when you want to boast about your routes!
