About

About 1UP Bouldering

1UP Bouldering is an independent bouldering gym on Brunker Road in Chullora, in Sydney's west. It opened in 2021 and calls itself the biggest bouldering gym out west. There are no ropes: the climbing is all on padded bouldering walls, split into sections the gym calls the Slab, Comp, Island, Prow, Flat and Cave.

Problems are graded by hold colour in eight steps, from yellow (the easiest) through blue, purple, green, orange, red and black to white (the hardest), and one section is reset every Monday, so there is always something new to try.

Training and facilities

  • Training area: a Kilter Board, a campus board and hangboards, plus a gym area with weights and cardio equipment.
  • Yoga studio: an air-conditioned 60 m² studio with full-length mirrors, which can also be hired for classes and workshops.
  • Break-out room: table tennis and seating, with a lounge area for watching the climbing.
  • Dogs welcome: well-behaved pets can come along while you climb.

First visits and classes

There's no need to book: sign the online waiver before you come, and staff give first-timers a quick orientation on movement, grades, falling safely and gym etiquette. Climbing shoes can be hired. A free one-hour beginner class runs every second Tuesday evening for climbers on the yellow, blue and purple problems, booked online, and the gym hosts seasonal events such as its Halloween party.
