Safety first

All climbers and belayers must pass our compulsory top rope belay test. We advise new climbers to book a spot on one of  our introductory courses and familiarise yourself with our facility rules. Upon completion of the belay test you will receive an orange top belay test tag which must be clearly displayed when climbing or belaying. Note: We only use the Grigri belay device for all top rope climbing. If you are not familiar with the Grigri, we offer a 10-minute refresher.

The video will take you through our top rope belay test. If you do not know what we are talking about in the video, you will need to take our introductory course.

Step 1: Fill out our waiver and verify at front desk with a valid ID or driver’s licence.

Step 2: Read through our Covid-19 access protocols so you know what to expect when you arrive.

Step 3: Familiarise yourself with our rules to keep you safe. For parents, please read our kids rules. Day pass kids under 13 must book to come and climb on weekends, public holidays and school holidays. Book kids climbing. 

Step 4: Book a Climbing Introductory course to learn the ropes.
