The Wall Climbing Gym

Fantastic experience: Great boldering, lots of overhangs, small slab. Great problems.

Fantastic experience: I visited with some friends and the experience was super! As it was our first time in a gym like this we didn't really know what to expect. We had to watch a rules and safety video but it didn't take more than 3 minutes. We answered a few questions from the staff and soon we were ready to go. You can pay for a daily or monthly pass and if you don't have boots you can rent them. We changed our shoes and placed our things in the storage units. There's also coffee and some seats. After 2 hours we were exhausted but we'd had lots of fun so there's nothing to say except that it's a really fun experience and the staff were really nice.

Fantastic experience: This place introduced me to bouldering and I've loved it so much that I've kept coming on back for the past 6 months. There's a friendly and vibrant community of regular climbers at the Wall. The €30 for 30 days deal is a fantastic opportunity to try out climbing for a good price. They have climbs there for all levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned climbers. There's a moon board as well for strong climbers and pros. They put in a new set in an area every Wednesday, and 3 challenging 1-night-climbs on a Tuesday evening so there's always something new to work on. Would recommend the wall to anyone looking for a new hobby or friends.

Positive experience: Very nice centre, could do with lockers

Positive experience: I love it, they have different walls where you can practice different techniques, and they change it very often. It's very expensive if you want to do it several times a month, even if you buy the monthly fee, what a shame :(

Negative experience: I don't understand how the staff can open the windows when it's about 5 -10 degrees outside. It's so not possible to climb in these conditions. My fingers hurt a lot due to the cold, and my feet too. I can not even get warm enough. Nowhere in the world people keep open the window in the ClimbingGym while is cold. Staff is behind the counter in jackets. I understand, don’t wanna pay for heating is one thing , even that shouldn’t be a problem especially on the prices for membership per month that is way to high. I have climbed in even bigger ClimbingGym during the winter time and they were kept warm. It’s a bit pity that they’re just thinking about themselves and not about other climbers. Lot’s of times it’s overcrowded as well, Unfortunately, I will not be going back.

Positive experience: This place was awesome, the climbs were super challenging but the holds were very wet for some reason. The facilities were a bit run down, like the bathrooms weren't very nice, there was no changing room/shower and aesthetically everything was a bit "run down". But saying that, it made it really charming at the same time like the true focus was on the climbing and training, I can understand and appreciate that. The actual hold quality was very good and the upper level of climbs were very good, I had a great coffee and the staff were brilliant and very helpful. It's nice when the staff are enjoying themselves and are personable. I knocked a star off because the holds were quite wet and negative delta holds were impossible to use as a result, but I got a great workout and had fun. It was nice as a once-off visit, I'm sure I'd be a permanent member if I lived in Dublin but it's also very very expensive membership wise. Amazing community here, just this everything could look a bit nicer and it wouldn't hurt!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym located close to a Luas stop. I like that they have their own numerical grading system. There's an interesting variety of holds and problems across the different grades, even for beginners.

Negative experience: Visited The Wall this evening. Way over crowded unfortunately. Its surprising from a safety point of view that they let so many people in. Luckily it thinned out later on. The main reason for the low rating is the staff turned off the lights near closing time. There were still people high up on the wall! This is so incredibly dangerous I can’t quite believe it. I thought at first they’d flick them back on but no they stayed off! All to save a staff member from walking down to let people know to finish up. Absolutely ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: Great employees, very knowledgeable and experienced. Safety wise, the place is amazing, everyone is courteous and friendly. Me, being the amateur, I felt really confident trying different levels within my capacity, I keep going there and it’s the best way to relax after work. There is place to warm up and have sweet treat after session

Fantastic experience: My favourite bouldering gym in Dublin. The routesetters are doing a great job of setting fun and creative problems at all difficulty levels and the atmosphere is great Doesn't have a proper locker room (or a shower) though, so keep that in mind

Negative experience: Had our daughters birthday there last weekend they had a great time and the staff were good . But we wanted to give her a cake as you do for a 9 year old birthday. They told us they had nowhere for us to have it despite there being tables at the café. Not good enough in my opinion how can you host kids birthday parties and have no facilities to have a cake . So instead we cut it outside in the rain great craic!!! Definitely won't be recommending this to anyone think about a party venue for the kids.

Fantastic experience: Fun boulders, highest grade was about v8, very busy

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for boulder climbing, lots of begginer routes with gradual increase in difficulty, and lots of hugher grades

Fantastic experience: Love this climbing gym - great walls (one of which change weekly). You pay for your entry and can stay for as long as you like. I like it a lot. There's the walls downstairs and upstairs there is a weights and stretching gym. Wee cafe and shop at the entrance as well as a couple toilets

Fantastic experience: Great walls and problems, they change 1 of the sections weekly so always new things to try, also staff are friendly and great atmosphere in the place.

Fantastic experience: Route setting is great with new climbs every week, everyone super friendly and great facilities. Only problem is its hella busy if you come in the afternoon or on weekends but if you come earlier or stay later its allg. Also the staff are like the best because they climb too.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a climb, the routes are great and varied and the weekly rotation keeps it fresh and interesting. The staff is also amazing.

Fantastic experience: Nice place for bouldering. Patterns are changed on a regular basis so it keeps things fresh

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility! Similar to Hong Kong bouldering gyms, it's Challenging, Neat and the space is very efficiently used! Hats off to the route setters and the helpful staff... with their great taste in music Looking forward to returning, when my injury recovers.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and good variety of climbs. Only for bouldering and no rope climbing.

Positive experience: Lovely staff and great atmosphere from the Patrons. Also a great deal for the first 30 days for €30 so you can properly try it out. Unfortunately it’s can be quite busy but that’s because there aren’t many of these around

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. Very good routes and friendly staff.

Positive experience: Well laid out had a great time there

Fantastic experience: It’s a really good place to have fun with friend or by yourself is a perfect plan to do at the weekend and to see how much far you can go. The people how work over there is so kind and lovely I can recommend this 100%.

Fantastic experience: Spent an afternoon here while in Dublin visiting my partner's family. Very enjoyable and diverse routesetting, and efficient use of the space available.

Fantastic experience: Really fun and challenging. Very friendly staff too.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best indoor bouldering in Dublin.

Negative experience: I don't understand how the staff can open the windows when it's about 5 degrees outside. It's so unpleasant to climb in these conditions. My fingers and feet hurt a lot due to the cold, and I have to wait at least 1 hour before my fingers are warm enough. As for the climbing routes, they are decent, but the difficulty level is way too easy. Even though I'm not an excellent climber, I can easily handle most of the level 8 routes and some level 9 ones. So, I quickly ran out of challenging options. Regarding the difficulty levels, I feel they don't match the actual difficulty. For instance, some level 7 routes are harder than level 9 ones, and so on. Moreover, the monthly fee of 80€ seems excessively high for what I've mentioned earlier. I sincerely regret paying 80€ for one month at this gym. It's only worth it if you go for the 30€ offer. I would rate this gym somewhere between 2/5 and 3/5, but the current rating of 4.8 is way too high. That's why I'm giving it a 1/5. I strongly advise you to consider another climbing gym !!!

Fantastic experience: I visit this place regularly when I’m in Ireland for work. They have many subscription options if a yearly subscription doesn’t fit. Especially the 30 days for 30 euros (including shoe rent) is perfect if you’re new to climbing. Staff is helpful. Coffee is great, so is the music. During week day peak hours, it is sometimes unpleasantly crowded.

Fantastic experience: Big fan of this place. They're always keeping it fresh by rearranging walls every couple of weeks. Friendly staff and decent extra equipment upstairs

Positive experience: It was great fun! It's just a bit pricey. But they have the €30 for a month deal, and you can go as many times as you want.

Fantastic experience: The staff are always lovely, very helpful and friendly. The gym is well maintained and the routes are good craic. 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Surprisingly, great coffee ☕ Not to mention staff knows how to handle kids and keep them entertained.

Fantastic experience: A great day out. For a complete novice. Really enjoyed this experience and will be back for certain

Fantastic experience: Great place with great music. First time I ever went bouldering.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing for bouldering! Fun and challenging problems and the staff are very lovely. Great and supportive atmosphere as well!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym with lots of route sets which get constantly changed over the year..Friendly staff and the place is kept clean..

Fantastic experience: Uhm wow, just finished my first class today and had to say how much fun it was!! Our coach and teacher Yamina was amazing! So encouraging and patient, made such a difference in giving me the confidence to climb as a beginner

Fantastic experience: We stopped by for an hour and a half to get some climbing in before our flight back to US later in the afternoon. Signing the waiver/registering took less than 10 minutes. There is a coffee shop with seating area (wish we had at my local gym!), merch and gear to purchase... As for actual climbing, I was very happy with the selection of problems for beginners like myself. I didn't run out of things to try, although I was disappointed that part of the gym happened to be getting worked on while we were there so we couldn't get to all of the walls! Very cool place.

Fantastic experience: Really nice vibe and welcoming. Nice energy and theres always new routes set every week including one night only routes. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Don’t know why I didn’t try this wall before! Great public transport links to the center, some really awesome routes set. My favourite wall in Dublin, will head here again

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great gym for bouldering. Great coffee. I really like the place. Good pastry. Friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Best gym around in my opinion. Routes are set often, the place always has a good vibe to it and the staff are all lovely.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and my local bouldering gym. Everyone is friendly and the other visitors are more than happy to provide tips and tricks. Worth the price and they update the routes regularly. Recommend.

Fantastic experience: This climbing gym is fantastic. There are many routes with such a varying range of difficulty and they're reset often enough so there's always new routes to try out. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Overall a great climbing experience.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, I went there a weekday at 6pm and it wasn’t busy at all.

Positive experience: Too many climbers not paying attention to whom is above them. Maybe time to expand facilities and add changing rooms downstairs? Problem Grading by numerical numbers no font grading listed.

Positive experience: Very busy the weekend I went, possibly due to gravity being closed for competition. Really nice selection of different holds and interesting routes

Fantastic experience: It's not often I give climbing gyms 5 stars. And I've been to some 100+ gyms in various countries over the years. The setting here is just amazing at just the right distances for dynamic moves to actually work (so you feel encouraged to try), the problems are readable to the point where it even got me, a sworn hater of slab, on some slab. It reminded me of the old school gyms from before climbing became popular. I had FUN climbing again, for the first time in ages, where I usually am walking around gyms struggling to find enjoyable problems. Here there were dozens to try. Very approachable problems, friendly people around that'll talk to you and join you as you project, good vibes. And I'm saying this without them having a tunnel or kilter board... although there is a moon board. (But maybe the gym needs a few more complete overhanging problems on their arches to really make things perfect ^^). Having fun is the most important thing in a sport like this, and this gym remembers how to set that way, even on comp style problems. Definitely try this gym if you come by Dublin, even if you're a beginner. It'll remind you how to climb for fun again, the problems just Inspire movement that somehow unlocks that. I hope this review helps some climber like me stopping by Dublin looking at which climbing gym they should visit :)

Fantastic experience: Best craic ever, love this place, its real accessible to beginners and just off the Sandyford luas. If you're thinking of starting climbing just do it! Everyone's always willing to help when you've less experience

Fantastic experience: Great climbing walls and great atmosphere! Super fun place to test yourself and meet up with friends

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym, great variety and range of routes. Friendly and helpful staff. Can get a bit crowded in the evening, but still enough routes to go around. Only minor complaint is that the finish on some walls is the slippiest paint / surface I’ve ever come across, making smearing a challenge. But overall fantastic — I live in San Francisco, and this gym would hold its own against those in the Bay Area. Was also delighted to see it acting as a real community hub for younger climbers and their friends in the area, the cafe is a great idea.

Fantastic experience: Great people, friendly staff, nice spot, close to the Luas. There are also some great dynamic boulders. Honestly some really talented setter work here. Only thing, the monthly subscription (outside the 30 for 30) has a pretty hefty price.

Positive experience: Good place for climbing. Easier access for beginners than some other options.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Super routes and workout area, very clean and has a well-stocked shop. Staff are super helpful and friendly, couldn't recommend more

Fantastic experience: Great vibe, they change routes often, and the staff are very friendly :) Prices have increased recently

Fantastic experience: One of the most helpful groups of staff I’ve ever encountered. I suffered an injury and they were extremely helpful with accommodating my membership in response. I’ve never been motivated enough to review any business, but I can’t stress enough how great this place is!

Fantastic experience: Nice place to do bouldering, people are open for a friendly chat and to help each other and there is a good atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Brilliantly run facility great staff and lovely experience.

Fantastic experience: My two boys of 8 and 10 have been here for 2 Saturday morning sessions and have loved every minute. Staff were all really nice to them and there is a great positive atmosphere around the place. We are already booked in for another month of kids classes.

Positive experience: Very welcoming place for any beginner climbers, the staff are all super friendly and are great at explaining how to start bouldering. The membership prices are slightly expensive compared to some other spots, but there's an excellent starter deal for any burgeoning climbers: 30 days for €30, which includes shoe rental.

Positive experience: Love it. 9 levels of difficulty. I did 4 easily. Maybe should have had taller walls for easier section.

Fantastic experience: Loved it. Lots of different climbs eith differeing complexities. It was pretty busy but always a climb available. Super fun to spend the day there with friends.

Fantastic experience: Great routes, love the variety. Everyone's friendly. Gets a lil cold tho ngl

Positive experience: Holds need a deep clean! Had a few damp slimy surprises on holds that looked like they'd not had a proper scrub in a while. Other than that there's a nice variety of routes with different styles and levels.

Fantastic experience: My son is obsessed by this place. Really excellent facility and nice people's. I know little about climbing but they updates the courses set regularly so it's always fresh. The type of climbing is called bouldering so there are no ropes. The place is always well kept and you can buy coffee, snacks and equipment on site. Always a popular spot and can get quite busy at peak times.

Fantastic experience: Great place... And clearly a lot of people agree, given how crowded it gets (doesn't spoil the fun).

Fantastic experience: nice gym. normally train at Gravity but coming here for a while because i find it more muscley so good for training strength

Fantastic experience: Great we’ll set climbing gym with a great training area in south Dublin. Always a good atmosphere and interesting boulder problems. The staff are friendly and the place is clean. Would recommend.

Positive experience: Good inventive puzzle setting. When it's busy it's uncomfortably crowded, hunting for free spots to climb. Nice informal atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Loved it! This was my first time here. The place is spacious, you can rent everything here. Staff is friendly and helpful. First time registration requires one to listen to video (registration eform) and then submit some basic details. There is a coffee dock, you can get water, kambucha as well. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering spot. If it’s your first time they make you do an introduction course

Fantastic experience: It's a really great place for beginners and experts and the staff are really nice and so are the Cakes and coffee ☕

Fantastic experience: A lot of respect within Staff and By Staff! I really hope they keep going the way they have been for the last few years! I wonder if they removed the Gymnastic rings I loved That was a standout feature of this Gym.

Positive experience: The variety in wall shape is a little disappointing, majority are just flat walls going straight up or with a slight incline/overhang...the centre block is great but it looks like they've stopped route setting on the main arch which was a big appeal for me, the walls seem a little shorter too compared to other gyms I've been too and the grading system isn't as well done in my opinion So because of those drawbacks it feels a little more expensive than it should be when compared to "gravity" or "awesome walls" But the staff are great, great atmosphere, I really like the training room and electric practice board If it was a little cheaper I'd give it 4* but the walls themselves and the grading system would have to change to reflect their current price or get a higher rating Still fun bouldering problems though

Fantastic experience: Been going for 4 years. Great place for bouldering whether you’re a total beginner or looking for a challenge. They reset sections weekly on Wednesdays so there’s always fresh routes.

Fantastic experience: Big gym with great routes and atmospheres. The variety of climbing levels is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Nice and large bouldering gym. Great route setting for all levels. Just went back and enjoyed it as much as during my last Dublin visit

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Coffee, tea and snacks available Very clean Shoes available to rent

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful time with my son.

Fantastic experience: Brought a 4th year class here. Instructors were wonderful. So friendly and welcoming. Excellent place to learn to climb. I will be back

Fantastic experience: So much fun, music is great and the staff are very friendly

Fantastic experience: Good problems, relaxed welcoming environment, everyone helps each other. On more than one occasion I've been struggling with a problem and people come over and give me some tips. I go every week now because it's such a nice place to be.

Fantastic experience: Definitely my favourite bouldering gym ! Big range of fun and difficult route sets & always changing, incredibly friendly staff and just a great buzz there all the time ! Coffee and snacks are tops too ! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience,would definitely recommend it. So much fun. Takes all the adrenaline out of you, worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, and a great day out for yourself and the kiddos !

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym with lots of route variety. Went midweek so was nice & quiet. Cafe is a lovely addition with good coffee & lots of seating - a great mid-session rest spot! Definitely recommend!

Positive experience: Really great bouldering gym with loads of training equipments and fun routes for all levels. There are around 40 parking slots.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere with really friendly and helpful staff. Relaxed environment, good coffee and a really great variety of problems and styles. A very effective use of the space available! The only small pet peeve I have is the mixing of different manufacturers' holds in a few of the routes, but I suppose sometimes needs must. Had a really enjoyable few hours, will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Can’t wait for the reopening. Very fun, great workout, and place to spend a day/evening.

Fantastic experience: Just started climbing there with my 2 teenage boys and we all love it. Brilliant route setting with very challenging sets. Great coffee and hot chocolate which is very important. Great buzz in the wall also.‍♂️

Negative experience: The most important of any place is their staff. I asked a guy this day for a glass of tap water and he refused because he had to use a cup and the covid restrictions won’t let him, immediately afterwards a guy proceeded to order a coffee and and since is paid no problem. Here I ask, why he didn’t give me water a wash the cup? I have worked in restaurant and I have never denied a glass of water to anyone, customers or not. Shame on that guy…

Positive experience: Really great place for climbing and have loads of obstacles to climb you won't be tired at all.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had a wonderful begineer training session with Luke at the weekend, he was very patient, knowledgeable, encouraging and chatty. He gave us great pointers on the best routes to climb and put us at ease as we hadn't climbed in years. We really enjoyed the time we spent there and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back. Thank you 5*. Jennifer Byrne & David Heney.

Fantastic experience: Really love this place. Loads of space, great layout and interesting problems. Staff and music are great too. All round good vibes to the place

Positive experience: :) Great staff Great deals Very good builder (level, style, puzzle) Very good coffee and people. :/ The holds are a bit too consumed (no much grip)

Fantastic experience: Beginner climber and the wall was manageable with little assistance. In a couple climbs got up to a yurple. Think it's lovely for a range of climbers and a building environment (people will help if you ask).

Fantastic experience: Great place, staff is friendly and helpful and a lot of variety in the boulders. Would strongly recommend for anyone interested

Fantastic experience: Great place, well designed so you got everything from beginner to pro and you can rent everything you need. Highly recomend, great fun, great workout and it's pretty cheap
