About

Bouldering in Albury

Rise Climbing is a family-run bouldering gym on Bennu Circuit in Thurgoona, on Albury's north-eastern edge. It opened in late 2025 to give Albury–Wodonga a climbing hub of its own, and marks its first birthday with a team competition in November 2026. The plywood walls reach 4.5 m over padded matting, problems follow a single colour of holds, and staff walk newcomers through the grading system before they start.

  • Walk in: no booking is needed for casual climbing; first-timers do a short safety induction that includes a fall test.
  • Ages: 12 and up in normal opening hours, with an adult on site for climbers aged 14 and under; children aged 7 to 11 climb in booked Rise Rookies sessions.
  • Facilities: a warm-up area with a hangboard, a shower and toilets including an accessible toilet with baby change, a small kids' corner, and drinks, snacks and climbing gear for sale at reception.
  • Getting there: the entrance is at the back of the 39 Bennu complex, with parking in front of and behind the gym and free street parking nearby.

Classes and community

A one-hour Beginner Climbing Class runs on Thursday evenings, Rise Rookies sessions run on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and weekend mornings, and a yoga and mobility class runs on the last Wednesday of the month. Monday evening is student night, with discounted entry and free shoe hire, and Wednesday evenings are themed social nights, with free pizza on the first Wednesday of the month. Schools, sports clubs, corporate teams and birthday parties can book sessions in or outside opening hours.
