About

About NOMAD Bouldering Annandale

Annandale is the original gym of NOMAD Bouldering, which also runs a gym in Gladesville. It fills a large warehouse unit on Chester Street in Annandale, in Sydney's inner west, with more than 1,000 m² of bouldering walls up to 4.5 m high, including top-out boulders and a 40° spray wall. The setters reset two sections every week, with new sets up on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, and since February 2026 Annandale has graded its problems with coloured start tags rather than hold-colour circuits.

Facilities

  • Training: a strength and conditioning gym with weights and cardio equipment.
  • Yoga: a yoga studio with Vinyasa and Yin classes.
  • Café: a coffee bar with snacks.
  • Amenities: showers, changing rooms, lockers, bike parking and filtered water. Shoes and lockers can be hired, chalk is free, and crash pads can be hired for trips outdoors.

Classes and community

Casual visitors don't need to book: sign the online waiver, and staff check you know how to fall safely before your first climb. NOMAD runs a four-week beginner course, an intermediate course, workshops and private coaching, yoga, and youth programmes from beginners up to a national-level team. Regular sessions include KINSA on Thursday nights for women and gender-diverse climbers, a discounted student night on Fridays and the Social Wall Flowers meet-up on the first Wednesday of the month, alongside community competitions such as the annual Take Two.
