Durham Climbing Centre

Durham Climbing Centre is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to try their hand at climbing, whether they are beginners or experienced climbers. The trainers are fantastic and offer great instruction and advice on technique, safety, and equipment. For beginners, the staff provides a comprehensive introduction to climbing, including how to use the equipment, basic safety techniques, and how to climb efficiently.

Second time at this centre and it's brilliant. The staff are really friendly, helpful and welcoming. It's good value and there's a range of lessons for both kids and adults available. The climbing is intimate and it's not the biggest of centres, but the routes are regularly changed and there's a good range of both easier and top level routes to try.

My daughter has been climbing here for over a year doing the rockstars program. She really enjoys the lessons and the instructors are really helpful. The cafe is well priced and selection is good. Can't comment on the routes / options etc as I don't climb myself but as a parent I would recommend it for children.

Two first time climbers, £22 but you would think if select novice shoes and climbing powder included. Shoes and powders were additional unknown costs Optional to pay extra for instructor help or away you go. Plenty of walls to climb, beginners and advance with a wall outside too. Good for a one off experience, suggest one wall with ropes to help with novice confidence.

Just been for a Rock climbing lesson this morning with my 2 kids. Everything was perfect, from the interaction and the help over the phone, to the lovely instructor ( Beth) who was awesome with the kids! The reception staff ( Charlotte and Dale) were absolutely fantastic and they made an awesome cappuccino! Will definitely recommend this place as much as I can to everyone I know! 5 ⭐️
