Yonder Indoor Climbing Gym -
J Kirk Ive really come to appreciate Yonder over the past few years of climbing there, on how consistently good it is.
The location is great, being only a 3 minute walk from blackhorse road station.
The setting is really diverse, every new set has such a wide variety of climbs that often make you use muscles that you didnt know existed (for better or worse). Especially with easier climbs, where they make it so that theyre not just a progressively more difficult ladder
The space is really nice, being 3(.5?) levels it is just a very nice place to hang out, with each area being separate from each other but still feeling like theyre together. With the cafe getting an upgrade as well Im very excited to see how it turns out.
My only peeves are that at times it can be very busy and it can be very hot, though busyness can be worked around by going at different times. The heat is also being dealt with by funneling the air from the ACs into the main area from the corridors, and sticking big wall fans up (more of them please) which has been a well needed improvement compared to previous years. The cost also being well below other gyms in London is a huge plus for me too, it feels like you get so much bang for your buck here compared to the bigger climbing groups.
