    This seems to be quite trendy right now. Anything that caused indoor climbing and/or bouldering to spike in the last few months (at least in Syd)?

      The movies free solo - Google Search and dawn wall - Google Search

        Nah it precedes those films, the latest resurgence in interest around rock climbing started around the beginning of the decade and has been steadily building. The amount of climbing and bouldering gyms has exploded in the last 5 years. I don’t think any one doco did it but Valley Uprising is a great one that come out in 2014 that follows the beginnings of modern rock climbing in Yellowstone National Park and the rebellious culture around it.

      • mshanann on 12/07/2019 - 09:29

        Dawn Wall is currently on Netflix too.

        Both films from a 'story' perspective are decent.

        The grading of the climbs in Dawn Wall are ridiculous, but the guys climb with protection - and take as many attempts as necessary to complete the pitches.

        Alex Honnold in Free Solo though - that is a whole new level of mental with death the consequence. I can't imagine watching that climb in person - it would be sickening.

      Friend asked me to come along maybe 4 months ago and I loved it

      • capslock janitor on 23/08/2019 - 20:29

        What do you love about it..?

        • fivespice on 25/08/2019 - 23:12

          I love the combination of technique, physical ability and problem solving to complete a climb. When I started, I had such little upper body strength and was eager to overcome that to improve. I am still not very good about 4 or so months in but the feeling of improving is addicting.

          • capslock janitor on 29/08/2019 - 17:39

            @fivespice: Nice man What's difference between "Climbing gyms" and the local "Rock climbing" complex?

            • fivespice on 30/08/2019 - 10:22
              +1

              @capslock janitor: I am not sure; where I go it is mostly bouldering which means no ropes but the climbs are not as high. I would assume at a rock climbing complex you require ropes and a harness as well as a belayer and you can climb much higher.

      No idea, my 6yo has been begging me so I took him last week. He climbed 5 stories high and felt like a god so we'll definitely be back.

    Does anyone know any sites where you can get reasonable deals on their clothing?

    • muncan on 12/07/2019 - 08:31

      Not Wikipedia

    • wittyusername on 12/07/2019 - 08:34

      steepandcheap.com - it's a USA site so you need to use a forwarder. Best to do it with multiple items of clothing.

    As a climber in VIC I would offer the following advice with respect to gyms (well the ones I have been to)
    <>>>>
    Urban Climb Collingwood - Lots of space, very low climb density (lots of space between climbs), more expensive then most gyms, beginner friendly
    Urban Newstead - Not open yet
    Blochaus - Haven't been yet
    Cliffhangers - Mostly rope climbing with small boulder area, good selection of climbs, beginner friendly
    North Walls Indoor - Only rope climbing, good selection of climbs, beginner friendly
    Northside Boulders - Only bouldering, good range in climbs, medium climb density, beginner friendly

    Sorry I cant format this post better, OZ restrictions :(

      I've updates the main description with a table from main North Face full gym list with some state corrections and extra 2 columns at the end plus updating the signup section. Let's crowdsource the extra details and I'll regularly update the table from the spreadsheet.

      • brisdaz on 12/07/2019 - 09:44

        Also I'm from QLD and Urban Newstead is open now. Or is there also an Urban Newstead in NSW?

        • vash5 on 12/07/2019 - 11:13

          Not sure, I just saw Newstead under VIC from the provided link.

          I herd whispers that Urban was opening up a second gym and assumed it had something to do with that.

      What do you mean?

      I've updated the main description with links to each Facebook Event for each gym.

      Thanks for your patience as I had to use some Excel formulas when I thought I could use an easy clipboard paste and have that automatically convert to Markdown Extra. Lazy Web request

      • vash5 on 22/08/2019 - 12:11

        Yup you have, but it wasn't like that initially. So I posted the above comment and couldn't use table format in the comments section.

        All good, ty for updating the thread :)

    Clearly, the kids in the NT dont need to climb anything so they can piss off

    • brisdaz on 12/07/2019 - 09:45

      There used to be a gym in NT but it closed down to beauracracy. See Facebook groups for further details.

    In Perth it's one for one plus gear hire, not really free.

  • dammit on 24/08/2019 - 07:12

    anyone been to alexandria one before, last year? will it be packed?

    I went to Rydalmere one last year about 3pm, it was a bit busy to line up to sign a waiver and had to watch a short video but then there was no wait to climb the actual sections.

  • brisdaz on 24/08/2019 - 12:22

    Yes. Went to 9 degrees Enoggera and scored a free north face walls are meant for climbing tshirt.

    • brisdaz on 26/08/2019 - 23:44

      How did everyone else go? What prizes did you score?
