Redpoint Climbing Centre is an indoor climbing gym in Birmingham, England.

It was founded in 2009 near Aston University after the previous climbing wall, The Rock Face, and surrounding factories in Birmingham were demolished to make way for The Think Tank.

Redpoint is named after the climbing style of Redpointing Redpoint (climbing) where climbers practice a route before climbing it in one go. Redpoint was founded by passionate climbers to allow Birmingham and West Midlands Climbers to improve and to meet others.

Redpoint is known in climbing gym circles for setting interesting wandering routes akin to climbing adventures outside and for being tough compared to climbing gyms that mainly set routes that go up in a straight line.
