It is important to understand that bouldering is a physical activity with inherent risk. Before using the facilities at BlocHaus you need to complete a waiver. Save time and paper by filling it out online or print out and bring in with you.
safe landing.
Climb down whenever possible, using any holds – look for fluoro pink holds at the top of the walls for dedicated down-climb jugs
Land on both feet evenly to distribute impact – collapse your knees and hips to roll onto your butt
Never land on straight legs
Always avoid rotation when jumping or falling
Let the mat absorb your impact
Practice falling from a low height to gain confidence first

Stay off the mats unless you’re climbing or keep a distance of 2 metres from the wall when walking around – no running
No bottles/phones/toddlers/dogs on the mats
Eyes open & look up when you walk around, climbers can drop from above any time

If a climber is already on the wall, let them finish first before you start
Don’t start a climb that crosses paths with another climber on another climb
Empty your pockets & remove all jewellery before climbing
Keep brushes away from walls a minimum of 2 meters
If someone has just brushed a climb, it’s their go on it
Don’t brush holds underneath a climber on the wall

main gym access.
The main gym is designed for climbers 12 years and over. We have a dedicated FamilyHaus for younger kids and families to climb together.
Kids under 12 years can enjoy the slackline & hang out areas, but there is no access to climbing areas in the main gym for both their own safety and the safety of others.
key rules for kids.
No running on the crash mats
Stay off the mats when you’re not climbing
Look out for climbers above & around you.
the Joker – top out boulder.
After topping out, keep clear of the edges of the Joker
Use the fluoro pink ladder to climb down
Check the down-climb ladder is clear before descending
No running, jumping, dancing, handstands or cartwheels on top of the Joker
puppy policy.
At BlocHaus we welcome your pooch because we believe they are part of the family.
Please make sure they’re on lead, off the white mats & behaving appropriately.
We also appreciate not everyone wants to get up close with fur babies & ask that you & your furry friend respect the personal space of others. Dog owners may be asked to remove their dog from the premises if needed.
