The Font Climbing - Wandsworth 2.0 - (Near , UK)

5 /5 Namuun Mandal: Staff are so helpful here. It is a well rounded climbing gym for all climbing styles. I like the dark matting in contrast with the colours of the boulder walls. The seating areas are such a bonus. Well designed space and setting too.

5 /5 Aris: Its really a very good climbing gym. The setting is creative and challenging, with a fairly modern style yet also with a lot of crimps. There is a lot of wall space for bouldering, lead and auto-belay. The sport routes are mostly vertical, so consider that. They also have training boards and a well equipped work-out area on the ground floor. The staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are steep at £16 for an adult, but gyms in London are expensive in general.

3 /5 Oscar Warburton: Great gym. Good selection and GREAT comp wall. Every hold needed a deep brushing or a wash! Seems like most of the climbs had been up for a month or so. Only bouldered btw

5 /5 Inara Azar: Lovely friendly staff and really accessible center, theres a lift up to the first floor, walk ways are wide enough for a wheelchair and an accessible toilet on the ground floor. Indoor bicycle storage and a decent sized gym area. Only thing that could have made it better would be more snacks ! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit ( for saftey reasons just to note I did not personally climb but came along to watch some friends)

1 /5 Stephanie Z: I’ve always liked Parthian, but I have to say that some rude staff can really ruin an otherwise great climbing experience. Today I was working on a project on an auto-belay. While I was resting nearby, a staff member named Ralph brought a group over for a class. He stood in front of the auto-belay while giving instructions. After observing for a few minutes and seeing that he wasn’t using the device, I decided to hop back on (especially since there were plenty of other auto-belays available). However, he abruptly stopped me and said, “Do you mind waiting for a few minutes?” in a very condescending tone. Feeling a bit taken aback, I stepped aside. When the instructions finished and the group began using the auto-belay, I asked how long I would need to wait and explained that I had a project on that route. Again, he responded impatiently: “If you could just give us another 5–10 minutes.” First, the gym is open to everyone—we all pay for access—and having an instructional class shouldn’t give staff priority over other climbers. Second, I would have had absolutely no problem waiting if it had been communicated kindly, rather than in a tone that made me feel like I was doing something wrong. The instructor later approached to offer a sort-of apology, but honestly, the whole interaction had already ruined the experience.
