Bouldering Climbing Gym

Overview BlocHaus is an indoor bouldering gym with two locations in Canberra, Fyshwick and Mitchell. Bouldering is a form of climbing on shorter walls over padded safety mats, which means ropes and harnesses are not required. The facilities cater to a range of abilities, with climbing routes, known as 'problems', marked by a colour-coded grading system to indicate difficulty. The climbing routes are changed regularly to provide new challenges for visitors.

The Fyshwick location features a dedicated area called 'FamilyHaus', which is specifically designed for children and families to climb together. In addition to the climbing walls, the gyms offer specialised training and fitness areas, padded slacklines, and lounge spaces. The Mitchell location also includes a dedicated parkour park. The business hosts a variety of classes, coaching sessions, and social events.
