For beginners; Our encouraging and enthusiastic instructors can coach you through the basics and get you meeting your climbing goals, through public taster sessions or private coaching. Our bouldering wall is also available for unsupervised climbing with no experience necessary!

 

For experienced climbers; Our wall has 16 top rope and lead routes, up to 12 metres high, with grading from 4+ to 7b+ (plus some feature-only first ascents up for grabs) and regular route setting. Our bouldering room provides challenges for any level of climber. Please be aware any under 14s must be accompanied by a paying competent adult. Experienced 14-17 year olds may climb unsupervised if they pass a competency check, however still require supervision unless previously agreed by us. Unsupervised climbing does not need to be booked in advance, just come along!

 

Corporate events, schools, local groups and training programs are all welcome year round.
