It's so great to hear about everyone's stories about The Crux and the role that this gym, and climbing, has played in your lives! We're so glad to be able to stay open and enter a new chapter.

Big thanks to our community and everyone who shared their experiences, and we look forward to having many more with you ❤️

Here's a few photos from The Jam last weekend!
Such a fun day and what a great way to celebrate with our community with pizza, trivia and, of course, climbing.
Thanks for coming ❤️

We're hiring!

Do you live and breathe chalkdust? Do you have the urge to take down climbing holds (professionally, not out of spite)?

We're looking for 1-2 great people to join our team.

What you'll be doing:

Front desk: being the friendly face of the gym and making people feel welcome, making coffees, cleaning lots of chalk dust, dealing with the occasional injury.
Route stripping: helping clear the walls for our setters - involes heavy lifting, being up on ladders, and using various tools. You're okay with cold, early mornings and occasionally being hit by the pressure washer.

What we offer:

A genuinely lovely team and community
Free gym membership
Flexible shifts
The deep satisfaction of a freshly stripped wall

An update on The Crux 🧗

Since announcing our closure, we've been completely overwhelmed by the love, support, and stories you've shared about your time here. Thank you.

Update: we're keeping the doors open past August 2nd. Classes, passes, day-to-day are all continuing as normal. So if you've got plans to come climb, nothing changes for now.

More details soon. For now, keep climbing. We're not going anywhere just yet 🤍

See you on the wall.

Hi everyone, since announcing our closure we've been flooded with messages of love and support, and a lot of people asking how they can keep the gym alive. So we're giving this our final shot.

If you've ever dreamed of owning your own gym, here's your chance: take over a bouldering gym built from the ground up with blood, sweat and love. It features quality fit-out, full equipment, and an incredible team and community already in place. All for a fraction of what it'd cost to build new.

Not sure you can take it on solo? We can connect you with others keen to team up.

We're closing in August, so don't wait. Send us a message or email [email protected] and let's chat.
