The New Layout of the Walls

Our wall was designed by Andrew Pedley, top SA climber. The simple angled design opens many options for specialised training such as power endurance.>

The training walls are angled at 15º, 30º, 45 º, 90 º, and are 4.8m in height (In accordance with the IFSC standard for bouldering) but climbing for junior and beginner climbers is only to the 3 m red line.

The training routes are colour marked according to various difficulties (based on the Fontainebleau circuit grading system).
