The venue is at Adanac Park and covers 25,000sq.ft with bouldering walls, roped climbing, auto-belays and speed climbing and it includes an exact copy of the Olympic bouldering wall that will feature in the Tokyo Olympics this year.

Potential medallist Will Bosi was guest of honour at the opening of the Southampton venue.

The location also has a gymnasium and F&B. It is the fourth in a series of Parthian Climbing venues.
