Climbing used to be considered the preserve of adrenaline junkies but has now moved mainstream with the onset of indoor climbing walls. It’s benefits can be split into three areas, Physical, Mental and Social. Climbing is one of the best total body workouts available and it’s a unique sport in which both men and women are equally capable. Its not all about strength. It’s about finding balance in movement and technique. Each route or problem is like a puzzle that with practice builds the climbers problem solving and planning capabilities. Although the actual climbing is pretty much you against the wall you’re climbing on it is an inherently social sport usually done with groups of friends and no matter if people are of different abilities the variety of climbs at the wall allows them to climb together.

WHY CLIMB?
- It’s great fun! Both physically and mentally challenging and a great adrenaline rush.
- It’s social. Climbers usually work in pairs – one person belaying (holding the rope) which means you are never alone. Climbers love to offer beta (advice) or encouragement.
- You can rock climb all year. With indoor climbing, it doesn’t matter what the weather’s doing.
- It is inexpensive. You can hire equipment very cheaply until you know you are hooked and with pay monthly, climbing is great value.
- There is a brilliant sense of accomplishment every time you climb. There is something incredibly satisfying about physically making your way to the top.
- Climbing is great exercise, you can burn up to 900 calories per hour!
- It teaches life skills – teamwork, problem-solving, exercise, courage and conviction.
- Climbing is never boring. There are so many routes on the walls, with a variety of challenges and these routes are changed regularly.
- It will make you a better version of yourself, challenge yourself every time you climb and learn important skills.
- It opens your life to awesome experiences. As you progress you may find the urge to climb outdoors where you can encounter breathtaking scenery and a wilderness adventure most people will never know.

I came to The Awesome Walls of Dublin in a team event and it was awesome.
The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, you have very high walls to climb for all levels and you can get instructions to learn how to start if you are clueless.
This is a really nice place to build confidence and learn, since they offer courses and the instructors are patient.
They have two floors of bouldering and an area for smaller kids, as well a small cafe.
They are also hosting birthday parties, what would be a very interesting and original idea for celebrating 🙂
Easily one of the best climbing centers in Europe the staff are amazing and its really good on price as well
Smashing indoor climbing center. Multiple routes from grade 4 onwards on different shapes wall sections. Routes get changed every 6 weeks or so, so you don’t end up bored. 2 floors with bouldering walls as well. Great instructors for anything from a taster session to advanced climbing. Discovered this place last summer, been a regular climber there ever since.
This place really lives up to its name, possibly exceeding it. Firstly, the staff are friendly, helpful and thoroughly safety conscious. There is a wonderful culture of supporting and promoting the climbing sport that is a true differentiation from these type of amenities. Hard selling is not apparent and the team are happy to provide chalk or items to get you up and running in case you are stuck. The walls and bouldering areas are absolutely fantastic. So many routes for all levels of ability and agility. The are also refreshments and climbing supplies available to purchase. Fees are on a daily admission cost and are phenomenal value for money. Really good for a rainy day…. book in advance if instruction is needed. I can’t give enough praise for Awesome Walls and highly recommend for all skill levels and ages.
Had my daughter’s 11th birthday party here and they all had a fantastic time. Instructors could not have been nicer. So friendly, funny and kind. The place was spotless, very relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back
Have been coming to Awesome Walls once a week for over a year. I’d never climbed before so the intro course was great and helped get me up to speed. The facilities are brilliant and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere is very friendly and the great outdoors shop is very handy for picking up new gear and supplies.
