The main bouldering walls at GRIPswich, Ipswich

Your First Visit

Sign Your Waiver Free week for first-timers

About three minutes — and one parent or guardian signature covers the whole family.

Come in for your first paid visit and we'll load a free week of unlimited climbing onto your account — and so will every mate you bring for their first time. Offer conditions

Ready to Climb? Here's the Plan.

Bouldering is ropes-free, social and far easier to start than it looks. Four steps and you're on the wall.

  1. Sign the waiver online

    Knock it over before you arrive and skip the front-desk paperwork. Your details and the waiver are on one page — about three minutes, and you're done. Under 18s don't need their own account: whoever brings them adds them to theirs.

  2. Rock up — no bookings

    Find us at 17a Thorn St, Ipswich, QLD, 4306. There's no need to book a session — just show up whenever suits and we'll slot you straight into the next safety induction.

  3. Do the safety induction

    Everyone who climbs at GRIPswich does a quick induction first — how to fall well, mat awareness and gym etiquette. They run on the hour and every half-hour during all opening hours, so you'll never wait long.

  4. Gear up & climb

    No gear? No problem — hire climbing shoes and chalk on your way in, and our crew will help you find the right fit. Bouldering is ropes-free, so there's no harness to wrangle and nothing else to learn. Wear comfy activewear and you're set.

Every climber needs a signed waiver, and a minor's must be signed by a parent or legal guardian — no exceptions. You can still do it at the desk on the day; signing online just gets you on the wall faster.
