Them crimps, the crux and the monthly changes of the wall...

Awesome puzzles, a great range to keep you going. Staff and other visitors were very friendly and accommodating

Heaps of varied and interesting problems, consistent difficulty grading, regular and predictable resetting, friendly staff, coffee and snacks to keep the energy up, free finger tape at the desk. Best place for indoor climbing in Sydney.

Pretty great bouldering gym but it gets super busy which can be frustrating - especially on a Tuesday when they reset some of the climbs. The free chalk when you're starting out, or when you've forgotten yours, is a nice touch and the cafe does a good coffee.

Great for kids! I bring my 8 yo and 10 yo and we can all climb together.

Best bouldering gym in Sydney, excellent coffee and the owner, Martijn, is very helpful and is always game to lend a helping hand. Problems are varied and challenging enough - only thing missing is a 45 degree wall :)

Excellent place for beginners to learn the ropes and progress quickly, but also challenging enough for climbers who've been doing it for years.

Really great climbing gym with the routes changed up frequently.

Chill environment with a good playlist and some good problems.

It was so much fun! The staff were so great + even for beginners, there was something you could work from.

It's a cool boulder hall with interesting routes. What I have never seen before: you can get free chalk, tape and so on.

My 7 year old son loved it here. He played for a few hours. Friendly people and very comfortable and friendly.

It was my first time doing indoor rock climbing. It is a very safe environment for beginners and I totally loved the whole experience! Highly recommended!

The biggest bouldering gym in Sydney by far. Wish there was more of these around nsw :)

I appreciate the well planned routes. Many other gyms have Bouldering walls that look like all the leftover holds were randomly thrown onto them. You can tell 9 degrees has route setters who are diligent as well as passionate.

Nice gym with lots of variety in the problems, friendly and helpful staff. And free loose chalk, tape and lotion. Winner!

The place has a welcoming and open atmosphere with a really friendly and helpful climbing community. Staff are always super friendly, and the different colour levels change over periodically.
Don't even bother bringing your own water, they provide paper cups, pens and a tap. Just mark your name on the cup, help yourself to the water and pop your cup on the bench like everyone else.
Side note - they use that hipster recycled toilet paper, nice!

Super friendly staff, excellent climb quality for a broad range of skill levels

Friendly people, great climbs, cool culture, would recommend

The perfect spot for a climb. Whether you're new to the sport or have years of experience, there's something for everyone. Plus, there's a slackline!

if i could give this a million stars i woould.....
im gonna name fmmy firstborn child 9degreees Bouldergym

I love this place. Great walls with a variety of climbs and difficulties.

Lots of fun bouldering. Great atmosphere and different challenge every week.

Great gym for bouldering. Staff are really friendly and the climbs are great

Great number of bouldering routes at difficulties to accommodate different skill levels (below V1 to V9). Student discounts on Friday ($12.50 entry). Supportive and social atmosphere with friendly staff.

I prefer this bouldering gym over parramatta, but it easily loses points during the peak hours. It just seems way to crowded. That being said i'd still choose to wait and come here when there is less people.

Good climbing gym, they ne d to clean their holds though

Really cool, laidback little boulder gym, lots of grades and sending the overhangs in the back will make you feel like a ninja badass even if you suck. Nice routes, decent setting and might just give you the push to take it outdoors which is really where you should be right? Anyways, it's the ultimate nerd sport and please let yourself get caught up in it, just make sure you also yoga and chill.

It's a nice, fun place to boulder and is suitable for all skill levels. It gets quite crowded though, especially in the afternoons when people finish work, and you have to wait at every wall. The facilities are well maintained, but it is a little pricey, even for students ($20).

Reasonable rates, and really pleasant atmosphere made by the friendly and helpful staff, and the chilled out crowd who are just there to have a climb.

Great boulder gym with a lot of variety and great staff. It's a nice open area with the boulder walls lining the perimeter of the space, with some practice climbing things in the middle as well as a slackline. Fridays are student days so you can go there for a discount down to $12 for a day pass. Shoes (while not necessary are recommended) are $6. Had a ton of fun here.

Great gym for beginners to experts! Really friendly staff and great atmosphere. They also have specialist roasted coffee which is always a good option.

Great fun, relaxed atmosphere, easy to do without the ropes and harness and still very safe..

Love love. The community is open and welcoming, a stark contrast to many of the other Sydney gyms. Facility is clean, new, holds are sticky. Routes are set competition style. Only downside is it's not set up for training nor the atmosphere. Highly recommend to folks traveling through looking for Sydney's best or for those looking for a climbing community.

Great routes. Friendly staff. You get free bananas sometimes!

It's a bouldering gym. It's great if you like to boulder. It's somewhat smaller than some of the newer gyms but in my opinion, the route setting here is better and the community is much more friendly and less cliquey which is helped by the more intimate space.

Good variety of routes and types of walls. Routes are well marked and the crash pads are good. Friendly staff. Not much overhanging walls but still good.

Enjoyed myself thoroughly! Came here with a group of friends on my birthday and was thrilled when it was revealed that you climb free on your birthday(not including shoe rental). Climbs were numerous, well graded so you know you are improving, and also not too crowded. Also near the airport so you can make a quick stop by just before flying off! Will definitely come back the next time I come to Sydney!

Both of the 9 degrees bouldering gyms that I've been to have been great although I would say that the parking is much easier at the Parramatta location, there is very little official parking at Alexandria so it's probably needed to go round the other side of one of the warehouses and park there such as next to Sky Zone or the all sorts indoor soccer courts. The service is really good and the facilities available are really good too, lots of different routes and even on a Saturday morning when it is relatively busy there were still many routes available to climb at all levels

Great gym, well organised, St Peter's could learn a thing or two here

Very challenging walls, prices are quite reasonable and you can tell everyone there including the staff is very passionate about climbing.

You'll get encouragement from total strangers as well as tips and advice.

Expensive hobby but worth it. Lovely gym, free tap water and tape for your hands!

i came dressed in thermals, expecting it to be cold. apparently its not actually 9 degrees. unfortunately i didn't bring any other clothes, meaning i had to wear my wive's buttoned up cardigan which was 5 sizes too small.

Best bouldering gym in Sydney. Really well set out routes with clear grade progression, friendly staff and great atmosphere. 2 grades as well as a section of wall are reset every Tuesday keeping it fresh. Not much more you can ask for.

Awesome indoor bouldering gym with a bit of something for everyone. The barista makes a mean espresso, and knows his clambering to boot.

Great fun, friendly staff. Exorbitant prices though.

This gym has all the makings of a good bouldering gym, lots of wall space, barista coffee and the premium price to go with it all. However the place is disgusting. The walls are filthy, most of the holds are worn shiney with use and need be thrown out, mats have seen better days, hire shoes need replacing and the setting itself leaves something to be desired. Would be worthwhile banning the use of normal shoes like other gyms. Left feeling like a shower to wash the filth from the walls off.

Really cool layout, relaxed community vibe. Just wish they had more venues closer to home!

Much larger than my regular boulder place. Had a great time here. Some very fun climbs.

Some of the setting was reachy for short people....

Great place, relaxed atmosphere, everyone's a friend. Great climbing.

At the bouldering gym, you can enjoy for hours at $ 20 each.

9 Degrees is my hang! Great place to go and chill with friends, make new friends, learn new skills, have fun and oh yea, get fit while doing it!

Raddest, all love for 9 Degrees

Parking a challenge, otherwise a great place. They change one grade of "problems" per week to keep things interesting

One of the best gyms in Sydney, excellent setting every time I've been

My Favourite bouldering gym in Sydney. The place is very social !! It is the place I met most of the people I climb with outdoors and it just projected my technique and finger strength through the roof. They have barista coffee some essential food and cold drinks. Also has a few hang boards from beastmaker and zlag. They also have free events during the week such as an classes and falling safety workshop. Enter this gym a beginner/intermediate and got out ready to tackle the real deal.

Really friendly place with a lot of puzzles - heaps at beginner/intermediate level which is my ability. Had lots of fun. Was a tiny bit crowded at 7pm on a Monday night - would recommend going later to avoid peak crowds.

The best boulder gym in sydney, always changing around the setup to keep it interesting. And great staff very helpful

Great gym, lots of options for climbers of all skill levels. Very friendly environment, can get a bit too busy at peak hours.

Excellent boulder climbing gym. Plenty of room nice layout.

Packed place, killer vibe, good crowds and staff are fluent in dealing with those like me who are novice at best.

Couldn t be happier.

So many walls. Really awesome place to go bouldering or get started! The space is bright and roomy.

Nice bouldering gym with a wide range of difficulties and regularly changing climbs.

The problems are interesting, good variety and they change just often enough!

I would live here if they didn't kick me out at night
