Activate Mental Health

We meet at the moment once a month to chat and tell each other stories.

• This costs $22 entry, and $7 shoe hire; we supply chalk so you don't need to rent.
• Doyle has one free entry a month - ask us to find out if it's still available.

Looking for a fun, challenging way to get active? Join us for bouldering, indoor rock climbing without ropes or harnesses. You’ll climb walls up to 5 meters high, getting a full-body workout while solving each route.

Mary and I host this regular climbing session, and it’s open to all skill levels. I’m intermediate, and Mary is beginner to intermediate. Our drop-in drop-out group are all building strength and technique, so don’t worry if you're just starting out, we all start somewhere.

No experience needed! First-timers will receive a safety walkthrough, an online waiver (can be completed at home), and support from us to get started.

Questions? Message me if you’d like me to meet you at the entrance, or just look for us inside – we’re the two on the right in the picture.
