Where we Climb
This is the indoor climbing and bouldering centre that we teach at every Wednesday afternoon. We bring ropes and harnesses if you need them; you can borrow them in exchange for your student ID.
Whether its pronounced dep-pot, dee-po, or de-po, this is where we climb every Monday evening! It's an indoor centre focused on bouldering.
Whether you've mastered rope climbing and are looking to explore a new centre, or want to give the only Moon Board in Birmingham a try, a lot of Stoats highly reccomend Creation Climbing centre as one of the best climbing gyms in Brum with both ropes and bouldering.

You're in luck, have a look at our buying guide to help you figure out what to buy and how to find the right products for you as a lot of climbing gear (especially shoes) is suited to each person differently.
