NEW TO BEYOND BOULDERING?
If you’re a first-time visitor to Beyond Bouldering, you must complete a waiver and Safety Induction before starting your climb. There’s no need to make a reservation, as you can arrive at any time. For those who are under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must sign the waiver.
HOW IT WORKS.
At Beyond Bouldering, we use colour grades to rate the difficulty of a bouldering problem. We have climbs suitable for the complete beginner to the experienced climber.
The start of the climb is indicated by a “start left hand” and “start right hand” tags or with a single “start both hands” tag. You will also find a colour tag to indicate the difficulty of the climb. The hold colour does not relate to the difficulty, but only one hold colour is used for the boulder problem.
The goal is to climb to the finish hold, which is identified by a “finish” tag, using only holds of the same colour.
As you move up through the grading scale, the climbs become progressively more challenging.
The gym is divided into sectors, with one sector being reset each week, ensuring that you always have new boulder problems to tackle every week!

What is bouldering?
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that is becoming increasingly popular around the world. It involves climbing up small to medium-sized rock formations, known as boulders, without the use of ropes or harnesses.

Our routes are designed to cater to climbers of all levels, from beginners to experienced climbers, and our trained staff is available to guide and support you.
