Southern Cross University Bouldering Wall

A student-run bouldering wall in Lismore

Southern Cross University's bouldering wall is a small indoor bouldering room on the Lismore campus, run by student volunteers and managed by LEXSA, the Lismore Student Association. It is only open to current Southern Cross University students and staff, who climb for free.

The room's grey walls are set with angled panels, a corner and overhangs covered in coloured holds, above crash matting. It is in J Block, downstairs from The School Locker store and across from Goodman Plaza: take care of the road beside the steps down to the entrance.

Good to know

• When: moderated sessions in university terms only, on weekday afternoons that change from term to term. In September 2026 it opened on Mondays and Tuesdays from 16:30 to 18:00. Check LEXSA's page or the wall's Instagram and Facebook before you go.
• First visit: fill in the online induction form and do an induction with a moderator before you climb.
• Kit: bring your own climbing shoes or hire a pair for $5 (sizes are limited); antibacterial chalk is provided.
• Space: only a few people can climb at a time, and there are seats outside while you wait.

Students who want to help run sessions can volunteer through the club's WhatsApp group, which LEXSA adds members to by email.
