Flash Climbing Centre: Opinions

4.9/5 (52 Opinions)
Decyl _ 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for first timers. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Entry price is reasonable. There are quite a few routes to pick from for beginners(haven't looked beyond that). Plenty of room to sit and rest. There's an upbeat music playing in the gym which is great in my opinion. Parking is a bit of an issue here, as you can't park on most of the street due to other businesses, and their parking behind the building isn't too big and was full when I arrived on Sunday afternoon.

Fantastic experience: All the staff are lovely! Shout out to John who is my fave! Ladies night is one of the best ideas for women to go and socialise and learn some techniques off of a lovely instructor so we can all have goes at varying levels and have a bit of fun. Genuinely a lovely place to go and even climbers there are so friendly and kind made learning a new hobby so much nicer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Steph Van Der Voort 2 years ago

Positive experience: Great location if you live near Solihull, very nice people and cool gym facilities. Very good for VB to V3 routes. Hard to go to consistently though. Quality of routes and holds in this place are not very good in compared to other places by Birmingham. I enjoy this place sometimes because some routes are very technique based, but the routes are often composed of only one or maybe two style of holds, with little variation. New sets are inconsistent and sporadic, often set along side routes that have been existing for many weeks and force changing approach to projects. It would be nice to see more new holds, more variety in routes because many are quite similar and for new sets to occur with regularity. Also lots of kids running around. It's a shame because I would probably go here more often because it is easier to get to and I like the atmosphere too.

Stuart Griffiths 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really nice friendly place. The staff are happy to help if asked and seem to really love climbing. The coloured markers are a nice easy visual method of working out where to start and level. There are lots of low rated routes for the novice as well with sufficient challenge to be interesting. There are seasonal challenges which add to the fun. The staff seemed really encouraging with kids as well. Tasty cakes and comfy sofas for when a break is required too.

Hannah Scott 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering centre, lots of interesting climbs to attempt, very friendly staff, reasonable prices. The grading system is shown visually at lots of different places, which is really useful for beginners. There is also a lovely children's area.

Sarah Collett 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering centre for adults and kids! We took our boys 4 & 5, who loved the special kids wall which was a really good size and kept them entertained for ages. My husband and I also really enjoyed the climbs in the general area. We all loved the vegan chocolate cake and vegan apple cake too! (we aren't vegans but it looked and tasty delicious!) We didn't realise we had gone on the re-opening event - we hope it goes from strength to strength! Will be back.
