What you'd want to know
Two-floor bouldering gym on Stratford High Street, occupying a converted commercial unit near the Olympic Park. Ground floor holds the main climbing wall, café area and a 16x12-foot Kilter Board.
Plywood climbing walls in slab, vertical and overhang painted off-white behind, with brightly coloured holds in red, blue, yellow and green. Down-climb holds and low-reach circuits visible at floor level.
Café counter to the front with timber tables, plywood bar stools and a chalkboard menu. First floor (stairs only) holds the training area, free-weights gym and a long traverse wall.
Concrete ceiling and exposed ducting overhead; recessed strip lighting throughout. Mid-grey crash matting on both levels.
Overheard from locals
- the tuesday climb club with wanderers of colour is the way in if you're new — turn up at 7pm, you don't have to know anyone.
- weekly womens+ social and beginner social run on a fixed roster. check the events page before booking your first session.
- 150 problems across two floors — the kilter board is downstairs, the training rig and free weights are up. don't try to do both round one.
- weekend afternoons can fill up. tuesday before the social, or weekday mornings, is where you'll get the floor empty.
- the staff actually walk new climbers through the colour grades. ask at reception which colour to start on, they'll point you.
