Facility

Our climbing gym comprises of 27 top ropes. The climbs range from grade twelve up to grade twenty-seven. The climbs in the gym are set by a small team of professionals so the quality of the climbs is consistent, as are the grades.  As a rule we strip small sections of the wall every three weeks and re-set the climbs to keep you fresh and developing strength in different areas.

 

At Urban Ascent we use dynamic ropes as opposed to some of the other gyms in Perth who use static line. We believe that dynamic rope is a lot safer and takes a large impact out of any fall that may occur while climbing.

We also use a unique belaying system in our gym. We use devices called Grigris. Grigris are a self-locking belaying devices which are fixed to the end of the rope that the be-layer is attached to. If the climber slips off the wall, the Grigri locks preventing the rope slipping through the hands of the be-layer, which in turns prevents the climber falling any further then they have to.

We also have the facility for children’s birthday parties. There is an allocated area for socialising at the side of the gym.

 

 

The gym is 11.5 metres tall. There is a 3m boulder in the centre of the gym for challenging bouldering.  We also have brand new shower and change room facilities.
