It’s not often I give climbing gyms 5 stars. And I’ve been to some 100+ gyms in various countries over the years. The setting here is just amazing at just the right distances for dynamic moves to actually work (so you feel encouraged to try), the problems are readable to the point where it even got me, a sworn hater of slab, on some slab. It reminded me of the old school gyms from before climbing became popular. I had FUN climbing again, for the first time in ages, where I usually am walking around gyms struggling to find enjoyable problems. Here there were dozens to try.

Very approachable problems, friendly people around that’ll talk to you and join you as you project, good vibes. And I’m saying this without them having a tunnel or kilter board… although there is a moon board. (But maybe the gym needs a few more complete overhanging problems on their arches to really make things perfect ^^👌). Having fun is the most important thing in a sport like this, and this gym remembers how to set that way, even on comp style problems. Definitely try this gym if you come by Dublin, even if you’re a beginner. It’ll remind you how to climb for fun again, the problems just Inspire movement that somehow unlocks that.

I hope this review helps some climber like me stopping by Dublin looking at which climbing gym they should visit 🙂
