Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
BlocHaus Port Melbourne is a bouldering gym in a converted warehouse on Plummer Street, on the industrial edge of Port Melbourne. It opened in 2019 and has around 850 m² of Blocz climbing surface over padded floors, including the Joker, a freestanding top-out boulder with a ladder down. The setters strip and reset two sectors every Tuesday and Thursday, so the whole gym turns over about every six weeks. Problems are graded in colour circuits that run from blue through red, purple, black and yellow to white.
Walk-ins are welcome all day; sign the waiver online first and hire shoes at the counter. The gym uses liquid chalk and chalk balls only, with free liquid chalk on the walls. The main gym is for climbers aged 12 and over, while under-12s climb in FamilyHaus with an adult at set supervision ratios.
Adults can join a Monday-evening beginners' session, four-week Boulder Better programmes, strength classes and Co-ordo dyno workshops, and children aged 6 to 16 have term-time youth programmes. Regular sessions include SHE/THEY/WE BOULDERS on Wednesdays, cheaper student entry on Textbook Tuesdays, sensory-friendly Saturday mornings, Saturday night socials and a monthly ClimbingQTs meet-up.

“Very fun bouldering place. Every level is a challenge. The community here is also very good. Every time a person is close to completing a hard level, everyone cheers that person on.”
“…I thought it was awesome they had a section for younger or even shorter climbers haha. The climbs in that section were the same difficulty but with shorter measurements and hold distances in mind…”
“The route setting is top-notch — creative, challenging, and regularly updated, which keeps things fresh every visit.”
