Bouldering @ boulder hub, Wangara
Boulder Hub, 84 Berriman Dr, 1/2/, Wangara, AULooking 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 am intermediate, and Mary had been journeying back to intermediate after having her baby. Our drop-in drop-out group are all learning to building strength and technique, so don’t worry if you're just starting out; we all start somewhere. Bouldering is as much about learning technique as it is strength.
No experience needed! First-timers will receive a safety walkthrough by the venue, an online waiver (can be completed at home), and support from us to get started.
Questions? Message via the comments if you’d like one of the organisers to meet you at the entrance. We usually post which wall/area we’re starting on. Mary and I may run late on occasion due to our infant.
