Tall, narrow, dangerous, fun pockets and crimps. Whats not to like? it's nothing compared to transition extreme or rgu sport but it pushes you harder because you dont get the option to grab a huge jug all the time. I love it.

I'm with Dangerous, get into it and there's some good little problems to be had! Not a friendly wall for beginners mind. Yeah its hot and greasy but that just makes you squeeze harder doesn't it?! Has anyone done the classic arete with only your right hand? I've nearly stuck the last hold - ahh wasted youth!

Once you get into it its not that bad. Can get quite good fun really good for finger strength

ITS PANTS PEOPLE, NUFF SAID

I'm not from Aberdeen but I visited this wall once when I was passing through. I felt like laughing and walking out. Awful.

this wall is pooooooor. for a place like aberdeen with its costal cliffs you'd think it would be decent, but no. (p.s not a 6b traverse more like 5a/b at best)

aye, well, everyone's pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. It's not much use, is it? Smoothed holds, lack of ventilation, although to be fair I think that's been addressed, and generally poor. Big place like Aberdeen, you'd think there'd be something better. Ok, it's almost acceptable for practice, but if there was a choice, would anyone use it?

Have got an agreement from a mr tennant, who runs the place to put in new lighting, and see regular checks are made that the area is cleaner and also to see that someone pops there head in the door now and again to check people are still alive as opposed to the situation i found a number of times that you can be in there for hours with no one realising, tough if you've injured yourself or got stuck!! hurrah we may also get a fan at some point!! still want to see more done to improve the place and thats where you guys and dolls fit in... fill in one of the leisure centres talkback forms (available at reception) the more people complaining pestering and we may get more improvements.... tartan beastie

Just started climbing and it is the only indoor wall within a hours drive that anyone can use. I found it a great climbing gym. I agree with all the other comments about greasy holds, hot and dusty it is, Relatively dangerous due to the confined space and the gaps in the crash mats. But if your commited to getting fit its ok. Would be better if the holds were cleaned and resurfaced. Cant cost that much to do this. Noticed some have been done. Anyone like to say what the grade would be for a full traverse using any holds, must be greater than a 6b.

After been out of action for a large percentage of last year due to injury i thought it time to get a bit of indoor practice and strength building.. Back to the cursed wall!!! still crap!! still dusty and unventilated even when you fill in one of the customer comment letters. standard letter back with the usual " we're looking into it" type of response. come on get a grip its a corridor fire exit the council are tryin to make some money on.. dangerous locked fire exit doors... whatever next!!?? Ok back to my first one back, was sunday last week and i confess to a bit of nerves wondering if my wrist and hand would work ok. ok it went ok i guess but the wall is still pish for want of a better word. if acc or the beach centre are reading.. spend some time even money cleaning venting and repairing.. preferably rip it out and start from scratch with a dedicated wall area as opposed to an added extra to keep us quiet and make money for yourselves T.B

Not a good wall... it does the job for practice in winter but as soon as spring arrives it tends to become deserted in favour of the cliffs up and down the coast. some excellent climbing to be had on these. The wall... hm. I find it hard to be kind. It's not so much a dedicated room, it's what was/is a corridor/fire exit. There are no hire facillities for beginners, shoes etc. It's too hot and dusty due to lack of cleaning care or commitment. It appears to be very much an afterthought by the council. The room(?) in itself is too narrow and those who find themselves taking a tumble will undoubtedly bounce off the backing wall. It could use better lighting and air conditioning or at least a fan and clean up regularly. Not worth the entrance fee, but for us up here it's better than nothing and will do for now.. hurrah for dry weather and long nights. Also a shortage of female climbers; where you all hiding??

It's now gone up to £3.60 because some holds have been gritted - 4 at my last count. Nice to see we're getting our money's worth.

Good news if you're a student, entry is now £1.80. Still not worth the money though. There are lots of hard problems, though they do become pretty boring if you use it a lot. They should at least put padding on the back wall to stop you cracking your head on it, or at least soften the blow! There is huge potential for a 'decent' wall in Aberdeen - let's hope Aberdeen City Council aren't responsible it!

Greasy holds, nasty crash mat, dusty room, but challenging routes nonetheless. A good rub down with sandpaper would work wonders though!

Couldn't agree more with Tartan Beastie. The damn thing has been used so much that the holds have been polished smooth and they are not doing a thing. They aren't slapping on another layer or adding holds which is all they need to do. It's got great potential anyway...
