The Core Climbing Gym
2023 Feb 08
One of the best gyms in the area. All of the climbers and staff are kind - I have been to other gyms where there’s a toxic “gym bro” vibe. The setting is a healthy balance of old-school pulling and modern competition boulders that span all grade levels.

I mainly use this gym to train for outdoors. The spray wall is at a nice 22 (or so) degree slight overhand with an abundance of crimps, slopers, and pinches. If not for the lovely 2017 Moonboard, this would be my go-to tool. The gym is also equipped with 4 campus ladders (sloper-jug, and 3 ledge sizes), as well as multiple hangboards. The fully decked out weights area (squat/bench rack, dumbbells, rings, grip blocks, etc.) is sure to elevate your fitness level.

I might be nit-picky, but one downside is the unusual grading system composed of numbers 1-9 (maybe). They don’t correlate to the V-grades which makes it a little confusing at first.

All in all, this is my favourite gym in the area (KW-Cambridge).
