Climbing in Dublin

Dublin has four dedicated climbing studios, and the choice between them largely comes down to which side of the city suits you. Two of them sit in the south-west suburbs: The Dublin Climbing Centre in Springfield and Bloc in Bluebell, both rated 4.8 by users. Awesome Walls Dublin shares that 4.8 rating, while Gravity Climbing Centre follows closely on 4.7. With so few venues, each one tends to develop its own character, whether that means a focus on bouldering, roped routes or a mix of both. Opening hours, session formats and introductory options vary from one centre to the next, so it is worth checking the details before a first visit. This page sets out the four studios side by side, with their ratings and locations, so you can compare them and decide where to book.
