This is the place where my love / obsession with rock climbing began! Its an excellent place to climb as its relatively quiet and the staff go out of their way to help you out as a new climber. The walls are very high (I think they are the highest indoor walls in Melbourne) and the climbs are relatively hard compared to the city climbing walls - making it a tough workout! What I also like about this place is that it is part of a larger complex and thus they have a cafe where you can buy sandwiches etc and a large carpark so you dont have to worry about parking. Its also not as far as people think - people hear the word "Altona" and think its the end of the earth, but its actually not far from the inner suburbs really - particularly with Geelong Road. They also do some great deals - I got a pass for 10 sessions + 5 free sessions (so 15 sessions all up) for $125!!!! They also quite often shout you the shoes or equipment (for hire of course)! My only criticism is that it doesnt open until 4pm. Id rather climb a bit earlier in the day, but thats not such a huge problem for me... read more
