A huge step up for British bouldering
-Rhys Conlon, Team GB
Whether you’re here to climb, train or connect with others, Boulder Exe is more than just a climbing centre. It’s a social hub, a training ground, a rehab centre and has some of the most extensive bouldering in the South West.
At Boulder Exe you’ll find cutting-edge walls designed for climbers of all levels, where you can push yourself, have fun and connect with a vibrant, supportive and growing community of climbers in the city.
Split over two floors, you’ll find a massive 940 square metres of climbing surface including a state-of-the-art board zone with three digital training boards: the Kilter Board, Tension Board 2 and the classic Moonboard. We’re also one of the few UK centres to feature The Titan, the IFSC accredited competition wall designed by EP climbing which recently featured in the Paris 2024 games. Expect everything from ‘World Cup-style’ blocs to more conventional boulder problems across the gym with weekly setting and a full re-set every 6 weeks. Add to that a full strength and conditioning gym set up, a yoga studio, on site physio from Quay Kinetics Physiotherapy and a fully licensed bar, café and work space – everything you need under one roof!
Come and see what’s on offer and be part of our community.
At Boulder Exe, we’re climbers first. As an independent, locally owned business, we bring the same passion and expertise that have shaped Quay Climbing and Clip ‘n Climb Exeter since 2011.
Our mission is simple: to create a space where climbers of all levels can test their limits, connect with others, and thrive. Our Route Setters are dedicated to crafting problems that offer every climber the same exciting and rewarding experience. Focused on designing movement patterns that look beyond the purely physical effort to the mental challenge of exploring different holds, angles and styles, they aim to inspire progression and growth for everyone who steps onto our walls.
When we opened the Quay, the sign above the door said, Climbing for Everyone. That same mission drives us at Boulder Exe: to build spaces where climbers of all levels feel welcomed and supported to find and push their boundaries in a sport that is a fantastic antidote to all that can feel challenging in modern life.

Boulder Exe isn’t just about the walls – it’s about the vibe, the challenge, and the people. Whether you’re here to send or just starting out, we’re here to push the limits of climbing in Exeter and beyond.
“Climbing for everyone” means just that: whether you’re 8 or 80, crushing V8s or lacing up rental shoes for the first time, you’ll find your place on our walls. We’ve created a space where all climbers – young crushers, seasoned vets, families, and everyone in between – can feel at home. It’s not just about climbing; it’s about building confidence, creating connections, and empowering people of all ages and backgrounds to achieve what they thought was impossible. Climbing is a social way to ‘work out’ that’s great for your physical health and your mental wellbeing. It offers a personal journey – whatever your starting point there is somewhere to go and develop – and a way of creating connections. You’ll find likeminded people, ready to encourage and support you. In a world where loneliness is becoming a real challenge for our society, we have built a space where you can climb in solitude or seek out the crowd. Whether you’re training for a competition, trying yoga for the first time, or simply looking to have fun with friends or family, you’ll always feel supported here. At Boulder Exe, climbing is more than a sport – it’s a place where everyone can thrive.
Boulder Exe is the South West’s newest bouldering and training centre, where climbing meets community.
