Our Movement & Technique course just got more affordable.

Our 2-part Movement and Technique course can now be booked as separate sessions, starting with Part 1 and adding Part 2 whenever it suits your schedule and your budget.

And there’s an incentive to keep going! If you book Class 2 within a month of Class 1, you’ll automatically receive a £4 discount. No code needed, no hassle.

We offer Fundamentals for boulderers on our easiest circuits or Break Into Blues to help you get past that orange plateau.

Courses starting back in August. Available to book now at The Newsroom.

The La Sportiva Skwama Lite has officially landed!

If you already love the classic Skwama for its unmatched sensitivity and wrapping fit, the Skwama Lite takes that performance and strips away the extra bulk. Designed for maximum flexibility, friction, and fluid movement, this is the ultimate weapon for modern bouldering and steep, technical sport routes.

We have a range of sizes available. Buy online or in-store now.

Pass it on: What’s the best climbing advice you’ve ever received?

As a community, we’re all about supporting each other, whether you’re just starting out or projecting a 7a. With our Open Day (Sat 4 July - link in bio) just around the corner, we want to share some collective wisdom to welcome newcomers and lift each other up.

If you had to pick just one piece of advice, what would it be? Drop it in the comments below. Let’s give our new climbers some top tips to help them get started👇

You know someone who's been curious about climbing but never tried it 👀

Tag them. Text them. Drag them along.

We're hosting a FREE Open Day this summer and it's the perfect excuse to finally get your friends, family, partner, auntie, uncle, cousin, neighbour, to join you for a climb.

🗓 Saturday 4 July | 10am – 5pm
📍 The Newsroom, Kinning Park
📍 The Prop Store, Maryhill

FREE entry, FREE shoe hire, no booking needed. Just show up! Our team will take care of the rest with bouldering inductions and (at The Prop Store) free auto-belay inductions too.

💰 Bonus: new climbers can grab their next 2 visits for just £10 on the day.
