Welcome to the tallest climbing gym in Australia, right here in the West! No matter how you imagine a climbing gym, this one will take your experience to new heights.

The guys here have meticulously crafted a magnificent space for the climbing community and anyone looking to try their hand at this super cool sport. Open since 1993, it’s Melbourne's OG climbing gym and one of Australia's first

Here, the climbing style is a little different from what you may have encountered before. You need a partner to belay but that’s cool as it's super easy and, above all, you feel extremely safe and the perfect family activity. It really is fun!

Once you've completed your induction, fitted your harness, and slipped into your climbing shoes, you'll be ready to conquer the practice walls and explore the gym, putting your skills to the test.

It’s hard work, so you’ll need a breather, don't worry! Take a well-deserved break in the super cool break room, treating yourself to an unbelievably amazing coffee before taking on your next challenge.

No booking needed here and they have gear hire on site.

They also dobirthday parties with a private party room, school excursions, scouts and a youth program for ages 6-18
