The Crux

“A real gem. If you're looking for a bouldering gym that has a relaxed atmosphere, positive vibes, great routes and friendly staff then you should check this place out. There's a warm up area with various weights and finger boards to help get you ready for the stunning climbs that are set with grades ranging from beginner friendly to pretty darn hard, yet not feel unfair. This place is dog friendly and is always a bonus when you see a lovely dog just chilling as you walk in. Good place to bring your friends to get them interested in climbing as the place isn't crazy busy and the climbers are both friendly and patient. You can buy coffee to help you get through the hard climbs, and there is water available in case you forget your bottle (which you can refill as well) Overall a good place to go if you're looking to climb”

“We recently brought over 40 children from our community program as part of a school-style group excursion to Crux Rock Climbing, and it was a fantastic experience. The session was very well organised, and the kids had an amazing time — truly memorable for them. Asama and the team were extremely professional, patient, and supportive in working with the children, ensuring everyone felt safe, confident, and included. Highly recommend this venue for school groups and organised youth programs.”

“Very impressed. The newest bouldering gym in Melbourne is packed with surprises. Plenty of routes to try from for every level. The holds are different so those looking for technical styles will be pleased. Staff is incredibly friendly and happy to assist with your project. They've got coffee, hammocks, great music and doggos welcome! I can see a great community in the making!”

“Great bouldering centre nicely positioned in Coburg. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. The climbing environment is chill and fellow climbers are friendly as well. Also, there is plenty of parking and the coffee is good.”
