Welcoming new climbers

Anyone visiting the Centre for the first time is required to go through an induction process and climbers under 16 years are required to have a parent or guardian sign the registration form.

The minimum age to climb is 5 years old, but please note that climbers must be at least 13 to be able to ‘belay’ other climbers unless they have gained a Top Rope Belay Licence or are climbing with the Flying Geckos climbing club.

Induction briefings run on the quarter hour, every hour (subject to staff availability – please book or call before coming in for an induction to avoid disappointment).  After your induction, you can sign up on the day for our special deal : 2 weeks of unlimited climbing (all gear included) for $25 only!

Anyone wanting to lead climb at the Adventure Centre must be signed off to lead belay.  Please book a lead induction or call to ensure we have staff available.

Following your induction you’re part of our climbing wall family and can use the facilities as and when suits you, have a look into our membership options for discounted options on our everyday entry fee.
