Industry Boulders is an independent, bouldering-only gym in an industrial unit on Lewalan Street in Grovedale, on the southern side of Geelong, about 1.4 km from Marshall station. There are no ropes or harnesses: problems top out at 4.3 m above deep foam matting, on walls that range from technical slab to a steep cave and overhangs.
In September 2026 the gym opened an expansion with new walls, launched with its Chalked Up Pumpfest competition, which drew more than 140 climbers. Problems carry coloured tags on a chart that runs from green (V0) to pink (V11+), with white mystery tags left ungraded, and climbers can log their ascents on TopLogger.
From Term 4 2026 the gym runs four youth programmes: a social Junior Club and a competition-focused Mini Squad for primary-aged children, and a Youth Club and Performance Squad for high-school teens. Children under 15 must climb with a parent or guardian, and the problems best suit climbers aged about 10 and over.

“Best climbing spot in Geelong. Great routes for both experienced and new climbers highly recommend”
“…the best part is the setting styles and variety, as well as the frequent rotation of climbs. Not only are there new climbs every week, but the entire gym is completely replaced every six weeks.”
“The staff are warm and friendly, always greeting everyone cheerfully. I also often chat with other climbers.”
