Lead &
Top Rope

Lead climbing is the most traditional form of roped climbing. The climber clips the rope through quickdraws as they ascend, protecting their fall. Top rope climbing uses a fixed anchor at the top of the wall — ideal for beginners as the rope is always above you. Both disciplines require a belaying partner.

Certification Required

Lead climbing requires a lead climbing assessment completed at our gym. New to lead? Ask our staff about our lead climbing assessments — walk-in assessments available during opening hours.

Speed
Climbing

Speed climbing is one of the most exhilarating spectacles in sport climbing — and one of the three disciplines in the Olympic Games. Gravity Worx features an Speed wall built to IFSC specifications, the same standardised 15-metre wall used in international competition.

The world record stands at under 5 seconds. Whether you’re chasing competitive times or just want to experience the thrill of going flat out, our speed wall is open to anyone holding a lead climbing certification.

Bouldering

Bouldering is climbing without ropes — on shorter walls (typically 4–5m) with thick crash mats below. It’s the most social and accessible form of climbing, requiring no harness or partner. Just you, the wall, and your problem-solving skills.

Problems (the term for bouldering routes) are graded from V0 (beginner) to V10+ (elite). Gravity Worx has a dedicated bouldering section with problems set for all levels, reset regularly by our experienced routesetters so there’s always something fresh to work on.

Waivers &
Assessments

All visitors need to complete a waiver before climbing. Lead climbing and belaying requires an assessment by one of our staff. Walk-in assessments are available during opening hours — no appointment needed.
