Frequently Asked Questions - Bouldering Melbourne

Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that takes place on shorter walls without the use of ropes or harnesses. In our indoor climbing gym, bouldering offers a social and dynamic experience, with climbers often sharing tips and encouragement. One of the great advantages is that you can be ready to climb in no time – just slip on your climbing shoes and start tackling the problems. It's a fantastic way to build strength, improve problem solving, and connect with a vibrant community.

Bouldering is a sport that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their age, gender, or fitness level. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, there are climbs and challenges that will cater to your abilities.

Here at The Crux, due to the height of our walls, we have an age limit of 12+ years old and children under the age of 16 must be supervised by an adult at all times while in the gym. We believe that climbing is a fun and rewarding activity for kids and adults alike, and we strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who enters our doors.

We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where climbers of all backgrounds and abilities can feel comfortable pushing their limits and improving their skills. At our gym, we believe that climbing is for everyone, and we are dedicated to making sure that everyone who enters our doors feels valued and respected.
‍
With this in mind, we have a few 'Crux Culture' policies in place;
1. Keeping your shirt on while climbing
2. Asking before giving advice on a climb
3. Being mindful of others around you.
4. Inclusivity - we welcome ALL climbers into our space

We do not require bookings for First Timers or small groups, just come on in when it suits you! On your first visit our staff will run you through a quick safety induction and answer and questions you may have.

If you are looking to bring a group of 15+ or host an event get in contact with us for group rates!

Absolutely! We have quite a few regular doggos who come to the gym and we have a number of dog beds and bowls available. We just require that they remain on their leash and tied to a secure spot to keep them safe.
