About

Bouldering and parkour in Mitchell

BlocHaus Mitchell is the second of BlocHaus's two Canberra gyms. It opened in February 2024 in a warehouse unit on Essington Street, Mitchell, with plenty of untimed parking on site, and it is a 12+ gym with boulders designed for adults: families with younger children use the FamilyHaus at BlocHaus Fyshwick instead.

The gym has about 500 m² of Blocz climbing surface, with problems graded in coloured circuits from blue (easiest) to white (hardest). The setters reset three sectors a week across the two Canberra gyms. Beside the walls is an 80 m² parkour area, reset monthly, and the training area has a 12×12 adjustable Kilter Board, a 40° spray wall and campus and peg boards; the parkour and fitness areas are for over-16s.

Classes and community

  • Classes: Boulder Beginner and Boulder Better on alternate Monday evenings and Parkour 101 on Wednesdays and Saturdays, all free for members.
  • Youth: a term programme for 13 to 15-year-olds on Tuesdays and an advanced squad by invitation.
  • Meet-ups: Textbook Tuesdays for students, SHE/THEY/WE Boulders on Wednesdays, a sensory-friendly first hour on Sundays and monthly Climbers of Colour, ClimbingQTs and parkour nights.

There are showers and change rooms, a 7 m padded slackline, table tennis, coffee from Redbrick Coffee Roasters and a shop selling shoes, chalk and clothing. Dogs on a lead are welcome, liquid chalk is free, and a day pass also covers BlocHaus Fyshwick on the same day.
