We took 10 members of our youth group to Substation and had a fantastic time. The staff were brilliant! Most of them hadn't been bouldering before and some were a bit nervous but the leaders instantly made everyone feel at ease and we all had great fun.

ROUTES FOR ALL LEVELS

Relaxed atmosphere, good climbing routes for all levels, ages, fitness levels. Good price. There is a upper level for kids. Food was nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking wasn't a problem.
