Good setting and accurate grading. Good variety of climbs, from comp style to hard pulling on small holds. Friendly staff usually. It’s clean. They have a kilter. They have good snacks. Nice vibes.

Flash was great fun. I visit various different bouldering centres around Europe when I get time off for work, and Flash offered everything you need.

Easy parking, quick sign in/waiver etc, and reasonable prices. They even let me use some of their staff's personal tape when I'd forgotten mine.

I didn't see any lockable lockers, but I never felt that my things were at risk at all.

The place did get pretty busy, but we did go on a Saturday morning and there was a kid's party in. Saying that, I never felt as though we couldn't climb the problems we wanted to. There was also a weight training area in the back, and it feels like you could really train here if you wanted to take it more seriously.

They offered some snacks/cakes and great tasting coffee, and I can't wait to stumble upon this place again!

Excellent children’s lessons. My 6-year-old daughter has been attending lessons for several months now, and the staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and great with the children.

Tyler, in particular, is outstanding when he leads a lesson. Tyler’s instructions are clear and he works exceptionally well with children. I especially love how the class moves safely from one area to another, like a row of ducklings – it's both organized and delightful.

As a teacher and leader in a school, I observe many teachers in action. Please make sure to pass on my thanks to him.

Super fun. My daughter wanted the fam to try bouldering. It was kinda fun. Quite difficult and I'm going to be sore tomorrow!! Its like a puzzle for your mind that your body has to execute.

I've climbed here for the last 3 years and loved flash. One of the friendliest climbing walls I've climbed at in >10 years of climbing. The friends I've introduced to climbing here have loved it as well, so good for beginners as well as more experienced climbers.
Good range of grades, regularly reset, and good quality routes.

I avoid busier times as can get busy and is popular with younger climbers, but it is good to see the hard work Flash are doing with their youth squad, getting the next generation involved. Overall, the staff do a good job in teaching kids about safety etc and Ive had no real issues with kids running underneath me on climbs.

Great place for first timers. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Entry price is reasonable. There are quite a few routes to pick from for beginners(haven't looked beyond that). Plenty of room to sit and rest. There's an upbeat music playing in the gym which is great in my opinion.
Parking is a bit of an issue here, as you can't park on most of the street due to other businesses, and their parking behind the building isn't too big and was full when I arrived on Sunday afternoon.
