Customer Reviews
First time trying climbing and decided to pop into Gravity after work. I had a fair idea of what to expect since I’d read a few Google reviews beforehand, but still, what a fun experience! The staff were friendly and the place had a great buzz about it. The routes were well thought out and offered a good mix of challenge and fun, even for a beginner like myself. It did get a bit busy later in the evening, but that’s to be expected in a popular spot. Overall, solid setup, good atmosphere, and I’m glad I gave it a go. Might just be back for round two!
This climbing center was very cool. The rules for people climbing there are a bit to specific. They seem to think that Bouldering is for some kind of smart people and you need a introduction course, which you habe to pay for. For me it‘s just a cash cow. The things you need to know you can learn in a 5min talk or in a quick video. At some point in the evening it’s getting overcrowded and you have no time for yourself climbing alone.
This review is made as a tourist in Dublin. I visited this gym and overall had a okay experience, but there are a few areas where I think things could be improved. The first, and my biggest issue, I found that the holds didn’t grip very well. Many of them were very dirty (blackened), which makes climbing less enjoyable and harder than it should be. They are not cleaned before setting a new route to keep them feeling fresh. It was also not always clear what the final hold of a problem was, since the top holds are not labeled or coded in any way. This sometimes made me unsure what the correct ending is. Another thing I noticed is that the bouldering walls are placed quite close to each other. Because of this, climbers often end up in each other’s way, which doesn’t feel ideal in terms of space or flow. Lastly, I felt the entry process was a bit heavy on the safety checks. I absolutely understand the importance of safety, but in this case it felt like overkill: I had to take a test, watch a video, and answer multiple questions, even after passing the initial "test". On top of that, there was an extra €5 fee for the first entry, perhaps to cover all these additional safety checks, which made the whole process feel less welcoming than it could have been.
