Hey, I'm going to be in Leeds for a couple of days on Sunday, leaving Monday and was wondering if anyone could recommend the best climbing wall.... I looked online and found four but obviously won't have time to try them all!
Thanks

Leeds Wall is the best (in fact only) option if you want roped climbing. It has a ridiculous competition wall, loads of other leading and top ropes and a few autobelays. I think the Depot is the best of the bouldering options but the Climbing Lab is pretty good too.

leeds wall is ok.
City Block is the better indoor bouldering venue if quality of route-setting is what you're after.

Leeds Wall for routes, The Depot for bouldering.

Leeds wall for routes, depot for bouldering, harrogate wall for a mix.

For bouldering City Bloc is the best for quality of problems and route setting.
One of the best in the country, not just Leeds.

I can't comment on the silly rope stuff

Climbing Lab is nice and chilled. Good climbing, spacious and the top-out boulder is unique.
The Depot has great climbing and more of it. A little cramped but has a good shop.
Citibloc is ok for occasional visits.

We're lucky to have so much in the city

If you're after indoor climbing and like bouldering then I loved the Climbing Lab! Brand new this year too and there were quality problems when I visited back in March. Worth checking out.

City Bloc for me. I've climbed in a lot of walls and it's the best-set bouldering wall I've ever visited. It's consistently excellent too, no matter what time of year or what events are on.
