Climb Newcastle at The Pool

Housed within the repurposed Byker swimming baths, Climb Newcastle at The Pool delivers dedicated bouldering across historic architectural surrounds. Climbers tackle angular wall profiles, slabs, roofs, and technical vert set directly into the former pool tank and surrounding hall. Routes reset on a frequent, rotational schedule by expert route setters, giving local climbers distinct colour-coded circuits calibrated across standard V-grades. The community here is built around accessible, unpretentious climbing, welcoming casual evening sessions and focused training blocks alike. Alongside the main circuits, dedicated strength zones feature campus rungs, fingerboards, and functional conditioning gear. Booking can be handled online or at the reception counter, with quick safety inductions for newcomers. It remains a fixture of Tyneside's climbing scene, offering reliable, weather-proof sessions seven days a week.
