Flashpoint Swindon

It is slightly strange having climbing with trampolines and a kids ninja warrior course. The kids parties at the weekend are loud. Also the opening hours are dreadful. This place isnt really there for the climbing community if its not open most mornings as so many climbers meet up during the day. And alas the coffee (for a climbing centre) isnt great, the woody is tiny and theres very little training equipment. But putting those gripes aside, the bouldering itself is as good as I have seen almost anywhere. The walls are interesting, the holds are modern and the setting is excellent! And then there is The Beast which alone makes my 80 minute drive past 3 other climbing centres to get there worth it. I cant give the whole experience 5 stars but the climbing 100%!

Rad gym, really spread out and a lot of climbing to be had. It has a really impressive extra long boulder section called the beast. Pretty much a sport climb but without the need for a belay. So good for getting into a nice rhythm.
