We offer a range of deals to suit casual and regular climbers at the YMCA Adventure Centre.
Special deals are also available for Schools, Groups and Birthday Parties.
Anyone visiting the centre for the first time is required to go through an induction process and climbers under 16 years of age are required to have a parent or guardian sign the registration form.
There is no minimum age to climb, but please note that climbers must be at least 13 years of age to be able to ‘belay’ other climbers unless they have gained a Top Rope Belay Licence and are climbing with the Flying Geckos climbing club.
All first timers to the Center must go through an induction. The initial entry payment $30 provides all the gear you need, entry and registration. For those with their own harness and shoes there is a discount on the initial induction entry fee ($24). During the week induction briefings run at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm, or on weekends at 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm. If there are a group of you coming down please use the Book Here button below to ensure we have space for you. For more than 6 people please email us to book in a session with us with your very own personal instructor.
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.
