BlocHaus Port Melbourne

Overview

Rock climbing can be complicated with its ropes, pulleys, teams and other gear — plus all the rocks and cliff faces — bouldering is the sport of the minimalists. It can be done outside in the wild or indoors on specially designed walls and padded rooms like at BlocHaus Port Melbourne.

If you're in the market for an unconventional workout routine, bouldering could be the way to go. It doesn't require you to be Spiderman incarnate, there are various wall levels for different fitness levels. There's "Boulder Beginner" for newcomers and "Boulder Better" for intermediates and those that want to tips on tackling tricky techniques. If you're new to the sport, you don't need any specialised gear — just your hands and feet — BlocHaus will provide the chalk and climbing shoes.

In addition to the rock walls, the bouldering studio has a fitness training area, slackline, classes, specialised climbing training — for those that wish to literally take things to the next level — and in-house coffee and treats.
