Place rating: 5 St Kilda West, Melbourne, Australia
I am entirely new to rock climbing and bouldering. Although I didn’t have much success on my first visit, I definitely am coming back to improve my bouldering skills. There are different difficulty levels to cater to all levels. Everyone there is friendly and the open gym ensures the air is fresh.

The reason why I’m not giving this place 5 stars, is because it took a massive chunk out of my self esteem as I realised how much core strength I was lacking to complete these vertical(and sometimes parallel to the floor) stunts. This place is not quite rock climbing, but what is known as bouldering. Your aim is to climb to the top unassisted, with the safety of a considerably large air mattress beneath you. The do provide bandages if you start to blister. Good to know they think about your well-being. It’s got a fun atmosphere, caters to different levels, and really challenges you. The entry and shoe hire are quite affordable(under $ 20) and there’s an indoor bike rack. I am definitely coming back to improve my bouldering skills, improve my strength, and to beat that wall that mocks my attempts.
