Depot Climbing

We bring our grandson every week to Sheffield climbing depot he is doing the nibas course and he loves it here. The staff are all super helpful and friendly and every member of staff that has coached my grandson, are so professional and patient with him as he can be a handful with too much confidence at times. We cant thank them enough for the work they put into our grandson in his climbing journey, but i know one day all their hard work will pay off and he will make them all proud.

I have been coming here for 2 years now, from my very first time, and haven't once felt like I needed more. I've tried other climbing walls in Sheffield but the setting, staff, music, and everything else make the place feel like home and very much worth the money. The only downsides are how hot it gets in summer, and it gets pretty busy, but even when the cars are overflowing out into other car parks I really don't find it to be a problem - especially as people usually show good etiquette, all in all 5*

Very big bouldering centre - though perhaps not the most efficient use of space, it is really nice being able to find places to climb even when it's busy. Route setting was pretty good, I took my wife who isn't the most confident climber and she thought that some other gyms have more interesting route setting at lower grades - personally I enjoyed them and didn't find it an issue. Lots of variety in holds and some fairly unique holds not available in smaller centres which I found really cool. Cafe seemed good, food was actually very good for a gym - next time we visit I'll probably plan to eat here instead of finding somewhere nearby (that's supposed to be a compliment!). Lots of changing rooms and lockers/pigeon holes available. Toilets were fine, though they could probably be a bit cleaner. My only real gripe is that the culture didn't seem as friendly here as some other places (including other Depot gyms). Maybe we caught it at a bad time, but I think that generally climbing gym culture is cultivated by staff and management and more could be done to make this place feel really friendly and welcoming.

Came to Sheffield to try out some of their bouldering gym's and was not disappointed. The Depot was fabulous. The facility was clean and spacious, with loads of room on the wall as well as the floor area to watch others climb (or wait your turn). There was so much bouldering to do, as well as a great looking training gym area and traverse walls and campusing. Loads of problems for beginners, intermediates and pros, with the difficulties set perfectly. Walls had lots of different angles so something for everyone. There is even a kids training area for very little ones (we saw some kind of club going on, very sweet) The staff were great and got us checked in quickly, as well as just being super friendly whilst we had a chat with the about the difference between some of the bouldering centres here in the South (we don't have the luxury of space down here). Loads of lockers and space to stash your stuff, and benches to have a drink or snack or order pizza like we did, it was delicious. It does get very cold there so bring layers (I wore my slippers when walking about as I'm too lazy to keep doing the laces up on my shoes) but I'm also a southerner so I'm a bit of a softy when it comes to temperature. Wish we could have stayed longer to try out more of the problems and we hope come again next year!
