Cliffhanger is Melbourne's OG climbing gym, open since 1993 and rebuilt in 2022, and home to the tallest indoor climbing wall in Australia at 19 metres.

We're a rope climbing gym with 30 top rope walls, 24 lead lines and 100+ routes from grade 6 to 29+, reset every week, plus a training area with a Moon Board, spray wall and circuit wall. First timers are welcome with no booking needed: our staff will show you the ropes, and anyone from age 2 can have a go.

We also run a school holiday program, a youth program for ages 6 to 18, weekend birthday parties, and sessions for schools, Scouts and Guides, and corporate groups. Gear hire, a café and free parking on site.
