WELCOME TO SUBSTATION

Welcome to Substation, revolutionising the world of indoor bouldering, one climb at a time.

Climbing is rapidly becoming a popular gym alternative. It’s a full bodyand mind workout. It’s fun, inclusive to all ages, body types and abilities, and can be enjoyed with friends or family.
Bouldering is low-level climbing without the need for ropes and harnesses, climbing over hi-tech crash matting. It’s the most popular form of indoor climbing due to its accessibility, and lack of necessary equipment. It can be done as an individual or in groups making it easy for anyone to get involved.

All you need to boulder is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag, both of which are available to rent at Substation. We also have a fully stocked shop selling the latest shoes, chalk bags, brushes, books and training kit.

No, you can simply turn up and climb; we don’t operate a booking system at Substation. However, you can register before arriving which will save time. If you are new or want help getting started, why not book a free Climbing Induction on Saturdays and Sundays. Have a look further down this page to book a session.
