With more announcements this weekend, we anticipate that our numbers for booking will increase. This will be great, more spots to get in and have a climb. We still need to make sure that we are doing all we can to keep everyone safe. Wash your hands, wear a mask and stay apart. We love our couch, but for now, it’s really only a single seater. Stay tuned for details Sunday night/Monday on how we will be changing. #climbing #geelongclimbing #bouldering #socialdistance #couchdistance

Today is re opening day. Hope you have booked and are psyched! Remember your mask and to wash/sterilize your hands often. If you are ill at all, stay home and get tested please. Liquid chalk only, if you don’t have your own, we have plenty in stock.
A big thing to keep in mind, is that while you are super psyched to get back climbing, your body might not be ready for that level of psyche. Take it easy, warm up well and stop early. There is enough time to climb everything, just don't try and do it first time back.

After some great work done by regional Victoria we are re opening for everyone this Wednesday at 3:30. First for Team Rock but then for everyone.
As per our last opening, bookings are required through our website, our numbers are limited at 10 bouldering and 10 on the ropes. Make your booking for either, sorry, not both.
Of course we need to keep everyone safe, if you are ill at all, or from Melbourne, then you will need to stay home. Wash hands regularly and maintain social distancing. We could not be happier to see you all back this week though. Get Psyched.

We are beyond happy that we will be re opening in November. Unfortunately it will be just for under 18’s only. So we will be opening a few hours for Team Rock and Climb-it Club each week. We know there are a heap of young crushers who are frothing to get back in for a climb. We will open at 4pm Wednesday the 4th till 6pm, Thursday the 5th from 4pm till 6pm and Saturday the 7th from 10am till 12pm. This will continue until we get the all clear to open to everyone. Sorry we can’t have parents stay, but drop offs will be fine. Of course we have our COVID Safe plan in place and of course we ask that if you are ill or been around anyone ill, that you stay home and get well.
Hopefully it won’t be long till we can have everyone back at The Rock, we have missed all of our climbers, stay safe, stay strong and we will see you soon.
