Spread over 2 levels and over 140 blocs to choose from
Boulders Cheltenham is proud to boast a large number climbs, with over 140 at any one time with regular resets to keep things fresh and interesting so you’ll never be bored.
We use the V grading system at our gym, with all climbs being individually graded. These can range from VB up to V10, meaning there is always something for you to have a go at no matter your age, whether you’re new to climbing or a seasoned pro.
The minimum age limit to go out on the matting to climb is 2 years old.
Our setting offers a diverse range of styles to try, from technical slabs to boulders with an outdoor feel to competition style blocs.
To keep up with the industry we upgrade our hold selection every year to add interest and to allow us to decommission old and tired holds.
