The Guide - My online guide informs you, in an unbiased way, what each wall is like in terms of quality , size and location. I use The Buddy Five Star Rating System to give an overall assessment of the climbing centre, taking into account its routes, its management, its facilities and other general issues. Some aspects, such as the quality of routes are also star rated.

This climbing wall guide has been compiled to help my fellow climbers in deciding whether to visit a particular climbing wall. If you’re like me and you enjoy climbing but you happen to live in a part of the country that is flat (the odd mole hill or two to climb; maybe) then climbing walls are a good substitute.

You might, also like me, (and now my son as well) get hooked on climbing walls and be looking for new experiences – but knowing where to find the good ones can be a real challenge. There’s plenty of information about, but it’s either difficult to find or it doesn’t tell you what exactly what you wanted to know.
