😃 There's been some cool articles in the news in the past few days.

Have a read of this one on and Paraclimbing and how Sarah went on to become a World Cup Gold medalist! 🤩🎉

"I was just so stoked they had a paraclimbing category and I wanted to make sure that they kept it. So I thought, 'I'm gonna sign up for this just to be a number, so it's there in the future for anyone else who wants to try'. Then I did the competition and loved it.'"

while we dont have any climbign gym in Darwin anymore lets try support the climbing sport in keeping us safe

We often get asked how much it costs to rebolt a route. A good rough guide is it costs about $15 per bolt. That is the raw cost of materials - the bolt, the glue, the paint used to dull the shiny metal surface and the drill bits. SRC Rebolting doesn't pay anyone for their time to do the work - all donated funds go straight into purchasing the hardware. We also receive equipment donations from and (thanks!).

We need YOUR help to continue a financially sustainable rebolting program. It doesn't have to be a big amount - financing just one bolt is all we ask. How about it?

To help please donate at http://sydneyrockies.org.au/rebolting. If you know of any dangerous bolts that need fixing contact [email protected].

update on our lease disagreement - Our next court case date is in September it's a very long process with the council and court proceedings

It's sad because not one of the people who have closed us (Scott Waters, Lord Mayor, Liam Carrol and many of the alderman) ever came down in the 25 years it was operational to say hello or support a facility in their community.

If you would like to call the CEO Scott Waters or the Lord Mayor and ask them what is going on please feel free to express you frustration and anger as to why the only climbing facility is sitting empty. Their number is - 89 300 300

I (Gemma) am sorry to all the people who call me weekly and message us to know what is going on. This was not our choice we have been forcefully removed from our business. We hope in the future the council can see the harms this is doing not only for the families and community but also for the education system and sporting industry.

I personally have approached our sports Minister , education minister and local member (Paul) none of which wanted to hear our story or help in a temporary facility till we can have our gym back.

Hoping you are all safe over the long weekend

Almost 4 years ago we brought our very busy little boy into the Rock Centre. Carolyn had so much patience and time for us. Johnny has really loved this place and it is great for him to burn off energy and makes him focus. Please don’t take away my sons favourite activity.

We ALLLL want to get back to this, We are not just a business, We are a gym, We are a place for children, We support the schools, We are the only climbing facility in Darwin, We are the only sporting facility in the CBD, We are a team, But most importantly We are a safe place to make friends, We create families and support the people who don't yet have support in Darwin.

We WANT TO OPEN!!!! and support the Olympics as climbing is now classified as a Olympic Sport. We want the City of Darwin to open their eyes and see what they are closing. We want them to know that this is not a business it is a community. The schools have being calling requesting bookings, parents are saddened when we tell them its the council who won't let us operate, The Australian Climbing community is angry and disappointed a Council would destroy something that provides so much support to the community.

We are in the supreme court on the 17th of February 2021 fighting for our climbing gym, FIGHTING FOR OUR FAMILY!

A reminder that unfortunately the City of Darwin has taken back possession of the property till our next court date on the 17th of February. This means that the gym is closed untill then.
