Wangara bouldering gym, open since 2013, with about 500 m² of 4 m walls reset every week, an upstairs training wall, a strength studio, youth squads and private coaching.

About

Perth's first dedicated bouldering gym

The Boulder Hub opened in Wangara, in Perth's northern suburbs, in November 2013 as the city's first gym built purely for bouldering and training. It is owner-run by two long-time climbers and coaches who both competed at a Bouldering World Cup, and its setters have set for national events, the WA state titles and the Hub's own Catalyst competitions.

The walls

  • About 500 m² of climbing surface on 4 m walls, from slab to 45-degree overhangs, over medium-density crash matting.
  • Around 90 to 100 problems graded on the gym's own tag scale from 1 (easy) to 15 (hardest).
  • Two large wall sections are reset each week, so the whole gym turns over in under a month.
  • An upstairs training room with a 3 m project wall and chin-up bars.

The climbing area is air-conditioned. Every first-timer gets an induction on safety and etiquette, and newcomers can buy a three-visit starter pack that includes shoe hire.

Facilities and programmes

A 70–80 m² studio holds dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, a squat rack and bench, rings, monkey bars, stall bars, exercise bikes and rowing and ski machines. There are four unisex bathrooms with two showers, lockers, a pro shop, snacks and coffee, a free pool table and free Wi-Fi. After-school youth squads start at age five, and the gym also offers private instruction for all levels, kids' parties and corporate team-building sessions.
