This has been a great introduction to indoor climbing. The walls are fun, varied, and challenging, the staff and instructors have been great, and there is a good mix of climbing styles represented.
Visited The Foundry to rent a crash mat for outdoor bouldering in the peak district. It was our first time climbing outside and Chris was very friendly and accomodating offering tips and advice before we left. Will definitely be back. The loose chalk by the scoop was also a very good deal!

Hey guys, there's this awesome climbing gym in Sheffield that I go once per month. It's really cool and spacious, with these huge, challenging walls that are perfect for testing your skills. The bouldering walls are pretty good too, with a mix of routes that keep things interesting and tough. I love this gym 💪🏼
This place is a godsend for stressed university students who need to get some energy out. There's good variety of challenges and the community is welcoming and inclusive.
What a great place this is. The Bouldering wall (the wave) is iconic in world climbing and is such a great bouldering wall. It's as close to rock as you will get.
The other bouldering walls are great as well as the problem setting on these are top notch. Proper climbing moves rather than parkour type that you get in other gyms.
The best thing about the Foundry though is the rope climbing, this place caters for Auto belay,Top rope as well as lead climbing. Each category is well catered for with excellent route setting, the Auto Belay lines are not a second thought like in some gyms.
I can't recommend this place highly enough.
One of the first walls In the UK and the first to use resin to mirror rock.
Pay a visit and you will feel as if you have done "Proper climbing"

I've had a great few months climbing here. The staff are the best, so cheerful and friendly. It might not be the flashest gym in town but it's got a decent offering and surely the best prices.
We are not members but we were invited by friends so there was an instructor with the boys all the time. They def enjoyed it. If you just watch as a parent it’s very cold there so not the nicest experience.
Popped by as my daughter really enjoys climbing and wanted to try this place out. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the bouldering Arras had lots of different options and wasn't too over crowded at all. The cafe was excellent really exceeded expectations, one minor issue is that the tables need to be cleaned more thoroughly.
