Let’s Get You Climbing!

So you’re ready to climb? Awesome, you’ll get the ‘hang’ of it in no time and we’ll help you get you started. To climb safely and confidently it’s important to be familiar with climbing rules and etiquette of our climbing gym. First up, save yourself time by completing the online waiver form so that when you come in we can have you climbing walls as soon as possible. Then you can watch the safety videos below and read through the FAQ so that way we’re all on the same page. Safety and respect are the name of the game and ensure that everyone is having fun.

We welcome families, kids, amateur enthusiasts, and hard core climbing addicts – we have something for you all. And when you need a rest you can relax on the landscaped lawn by the river – bring a picnic or chill out and sit and socialise between climbs.
