Climbing gyms are very open and inclusive spaces. They have LGBT+ evenings and low sensory times. Climbing is an sport that is very welcoming to beginners. If you are new to the sport, your meetup host can give you some tips on technique and gym etiquette. Saturday mornings at this gym are quiet. There are only a few people climbing and you can project routes without much interruption. The music is usually much quieter than other climbing gyms and more down-tempo. It's a low-intensity environment compared to other climbing gyms. If you are on the autistic spectrum or have sensory issues, this gym and meetup session may be more suitable than the meetup sessions at the larger busier gyms. The gym has heating and air conditioning. If you come in the summer and the air con is running, it is good to bring a light long-sleeve top if you are sitting around for longer periods of time between climbs. The lighting is industrial and bright. There is a small area at the back which has seating. This is good if you enter sensory overload as it is less brightly lit and quieter than the main gym area. There is a water fountain at the front desk. The gym sells snack bars, fruit, soft drinks and hot drinks. There are cubby holes for your clothing and bags in the warmup area and behind the front desk. Toilets are at the back left of the gym.
