We’re moving to our new building on the 26th of June!

Our route-setting team is hard at work at the new location so there will be no new climbs set at Moray Place.

We may need to start taking some holds over before the move. We appreciate your patience during the move!

We’re getting excited for you to climb on these fresh holds! And if you look closely, you’ll see that white holds have made a return 👀

We’ve got a new sneak p*ek coming every day until we open our new gym later this month. We can’t wait for you to check it out !

Join the Alpine Club at the 2026 Dunedin screenings of the iconic Banff Mountain Film Festival.

There's three screenings this year, starting this Thursday (7 May), with the Tasman programme, in which we meet legendary climber John (Verm) Sherman as he tries to convince his body to repeat a climb of one of the world’s most famous boulder problems. This movie - Old Man Lightning - is surely the best climbing/comedy/comeback ever made – with a conservation angle too. Old Man Lightning will make you laugh, cry, and maybe p*e yer pants. Seriously, don't miss this one! 🧗🌱.

In the Ruapehu programme, we travel to Patagonia for Reel Rock: Riders on the Storm. Big-wall climber Siebe Vanhee enlists Drew Smith and fellow Belgian countrymen Nico Favresse and Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll to attempt the first free ascent of the elusive Riders on the Storm route on the East Face of Torre Central. 💪🌧️

Tasman programme, 7 and 14 May.
Ruapehu programme, 12 May
St David Lecture Theatre at the uni, 1900h.
