Welcome To Redpoint Climbing Centre
Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced climber, Redpoint provides spectacular climbing in the heart of Birmingham.
Our centre is dedicated to climbing and nothing else with over 200 routes spanning all grades, extensive bouldering areas and the famous Rock On climbing shop.
An abundance of shapes and angles, plus our notorious stalactites, offer unique three-dimensional climbing in a friendly atmosphere.
With great lesson packages and gear hire at very reasonable prices, you have everything you need to get off the ground right here. We’ve even saved a little space for a Fairtrade cuppa and snacks with a comfy chill out area for resting
those pumped forearms. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see a video tour of Redpoint.
