About

Bouldering in Kent Town

Beyond Bouldering Kent Town is one of three Adelaide bouldering gyms run by Beyond Bouldering, a business started by a group of South Australian climbers. The gym is at 7 Grenfell Street in Kent Town, on the eastern edge of the city centre, and has been open since 2019. There's no need to book: first-time visitors sign a waiver and complete a short safety induction and demo climb before they start.

Walls and setting

The bouldering is split into four sectors, and one of them is reset every week. The main lines go up on Wednesday and around five more problems are added on Thursday, so there's always something new to try. Problems are graded with coloured tags, from orange for beginners up to yellow for experts, and blue tags mark competition-style climbs.

Training facilities

  • Two MoonBoards, the 2016 and 2019 sets, both at 40°
  • Hangboards and a gym area for strength work
  • Shoe hire and liquid chalk hire

Classes and community

Free Foundations classes for beginners and Technique classes for members run on Wednesday evenings, and the Beyond Youth Club coaches 8 to 17 year olds on Saturday mornings during school terms. Private coaching and personal training are booked by appointment. Memberships cover all three Beyond gyms, which also share The Circuit, a four-week boulder ladder competition.

Climbers must be at least 8 years old and 120cm tall, and dogs are welcome under the gym's dog policy.
