Below is a comprehensive list of all changes and what they will mean for you.
These restrictions currently apply to our Collingwood facility.
Climbing (Who & When)
Opening hours
We’ll be open 6am – 10pm Monday to Friday. On weekends we’ll be open 8am – 8pm.

How long can I climb for?
We ask that you limit your session times to 3 hours, to ensure venue capacity is not exceeded.
Queuing & Priority Booking
Are bookings still required?
Booking is no longer required. If you rock up and we’ve reached capacity you’ll join the queue and receive a text message once a space becomes available.
Queuing - What happens if the gym is full?
We have implemented a queueing system to help smoothen the ‘wait-before-entering’ process.
If you enter the gym during a period where we are at capacity you will be asked to scan in and join the queue. You will receive a text message to confirm your place in the queue, followed by a text message once a place has become available. You have 15minutes to return to the gym and scan in after receiving the ‘place now available’ text.
I don't want to climb, can I still come in?
If there’s capacity spectators will be allowed in the gym. You’ll be required to scan in upon entering.
