Great staff, friendly community, a great place to hang

Great location and awesome activity. The staff are very good and there is a small workout gym for stretches and training.

Only con is the terrible options for parking.

Great setup. Bouldering much better than getting on belay for quick workout after work.

Clean, well maintained facility with coffee to boot :) found a good variety as a beginner. Slabs, verticals, overhangs and a pretty big cave.

Awesome number of routes and variety for all levels. Great crew always looking out to help and providing a first-class bouldering location

Such a wonderful space! The staff are lovely and friendly, always up for a chat. There s a great community vibe throughout the gym, and other members are always eager to help out and/or cheer you on.
The coffee is great, the muffins also great!
I love the dogs that come to visit, makes each visit exciting and new!
The changes each week do a great job of keeping the climbs fresh, fun and new, though sometimes there seems to be a lack of of easier climbs for beginners.

Really good climbing gym, very easy to get in and started, nice atmosphere. When the dj decks are on its a very cool place to have a climb with mates.

Staff are friendly and the climbs start of approachable for beginners especially compared to other bouldering places

Not with fancy over hang wall or many volume, lot of foot hold is very worn out with black marking from climbing shoe , but the vibe n climbers is friendly n chill here , would be more appreciated if they can clean up hold regularly.

Believe it or not, this place serves the best pizza in Sydney, if not Australia. The beauty of these pizzas lies in their simplicity: a thin crust with a thin spread of tomato sauce, topped with only one or two quality ingredients - none of which is pineapple. It is exactly like how you get your pizza in Italy!

Note: they only run a small kitchen, so expect a wait. Chef Patricio prepares the pizzas right in front of you though, so strike up a chat with him while you wait - good chats!

I was bouldering for a first time in my life. Great place for beginners and definitely good place for advanced boulders (some guys and girls had amazing skills). Expected higher entry cost, so got positively surprised :)

Parking is not great but this place is fantastic. Good people, good vibes. A little expensive.

Varied routes from V0 - V10 and lots of different styles. Competition style problems and unique dynos. Great bouldering gym.

So much fun. The activity makes u feel as If u r out of the country actually experiencing rock climbing.

Really busy on weekday evenings, but if you can get a good climb in you will have a blast!

Just went to 9 Degrees and had a great time. The staff were friendly, they had a good variety of difficulty and variation in the climbs, and comprehensive facilities including moisturiser and chalk. Will be returning and would highly recommend.

The best bouldering gym in Sydney. I have been to many climbing walls around the world and this is one of the best. The height is about right and the problems are set very well with a mixture of slabs, vertical and overhangs. In addition to the walls there is also a slackling and training area as well as a coffee bar. A great way to spend an afternoon.

Best boulder gym in Sydney IMO - lots of great climbs for beginners (more than most other gyms) but also a good amount of harder routes.

Also great vibe and attention to details, such as free chalk, and hand moisturizer. Also nice tight rope and small gym area

Great facility with great atmosphere. World class bouldering gym, something this city needed for a long time. I found my new home gym.

Great boulder problems, great coffee, great tunes, great staff

Place is great. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was great.

Enjoyed their setting more than nomad. Holds could use a cleaning.

Been going here for months. Love this place. The culture and community welcomes all

Great atmosphere, max 100 people limit for a small gym during pandemic, quit dense at night. Great part is liquid chalk made of sanitiser is provided.

Great gym with friendly people. Routes for complete beginners to expert climbers are available and change weekly.

Great routes that get reset often. Vibe is really chill - good crowd, easy to meet people. Fun music too!

Fantastic space great climbs (for me anyway) friendly staff whenever I talked to them only slight criticism I could offer is that the staff only seemed to be behind the counter climbed for 3 hours and did not get so much as a g'day from any of the staff after I signed the waiver having said that it is a truly fantastic venue oh and great coffee

Rad bouldering gym with a laidback vibe, hows the serenity.

Great atmosphere and super cool problems! Really fantastic bouldering!
Coffee is great and you can have it relaxing on one of the many couches. Family friendly and dog friendly.
Parking can be tricky before 4pm

Great, compact gym. Interesting setting that changes regularly. Awesome, friendly staff. Great coffee.

Could not rate more highly. Sink so many hours here every week. Friendly staff, climbers and amazing overall vibes.

Great atmosphere, the best place in Sydney for indoor climbing. Friendly and helpful staff. I agree with previous post: if you just a beginner, start with either 2 months membership or even 10 visit pass. I bought it as a birthday present for my teenager grandson and he loves it! The next step for him is to master his skills and commit for yearly membership! Do the same and enjoy!

What a fun way to burn a few calories, my first climb I was worried, the second I was taking more chances a d by the third I was comfortable enough to leap to the next peg if I needed to. So fun!!

It should also be mentioned they are dog friendly and serve nice coffee.

Excellent community close walk from mascot station student discount fridays

Great boulder problems set. Friendly staff and amazing boulder gym.

I absolutely love 9 degrees Alexandria. The staff are super friendly and there is an amazing community feel to the gym.

Awesome facilities and nice routes for all levels.

Definitely recommended as my favourite climbing gym in Sydney.

Complimentary chalk and onsite barista. Enough said!

Good but can be very busy in the evenings on a week day. So pick your times :)

I do not understand this great rating they have. The room has only a small slope. It's short for fun. The routes are not very popular in terms of movement. In 3 move bim it's over. I climbed into a room with the same walls and the routes were much more interesting. A little disappointed. I'm looking for another one ....

Good for beginners and intermediate skill levels, but can be crowded at times. Make sure you ask for help starting out so you don't get hurt.

Amazing Vibes, Friendly people, Banter for days, Lots of gripping and ripping. Always good weather for friction. They make dope coffee. Also they have not thrown me out yet, so that's cool too.

Great place, very nice atmosphere, clean and relaxed. Routes for all levels, beginners and advanced welcome.

Great bouldering place. Staff are helpful and friendly. Nice chill out room and a small cafe located inside.

Good bouldering area heaps fun. Just get too busy after 7 pm and have to wait forever to do a round.

Great for beginner climbers, holds a little older though.

The first thing I'd like to address is that the staff are incredibly nice people, so very welcoming and not at all intimidating to newcomers, and incredibly friendly to regulars.

As a climbing gym, 9 Degrees contains an incredibly varied set of climbs, caters to not only all skill levels, but even for different climbing styles. They even provide free chalk and sports tape if you require them.

In terms of other facilities available, the warmup area is a little small, but it's sufficient for warmups and other small activities, such as the weekly rotation of classes (yoga, abs, etc). They have coffee and pizza if you want them as well.

Can't really fault this place at all, which is one of the reasons I find myself coming back every week.

Great bouldering gym. Very fun problems, awesome atmosphere and very nice coffees a well.

:') only wish my forearms would allow me to be here all day everyday

Great service and experience for all abilities! Would recommend!

Great place, so many courses to choose from and always changing to more challenging tasks. Locals and attendants are kind and helpful.

Love this place! Great indoor winter activity, fun climbs for all levels, dogs, coffee - all the good stuff. Gets helllllla busy after work though so if you can, go earlier rather than later otherwise you ll finding yourself waiting around for your turn on a climb

Great place for beginners - Friendly space and staff.

Thank you for listening adding more bicycle parking, went again today and there was much more room. Even when I left when it got too busy there was a couple of spaces to lock up still which was nice. +4 stars :P

The bouldering gym itself is pretty good, and they seem to rotate about 1/4 of the boulders every week so there is something new.

Bouldering makes you happy.

Great chilled out atmosphere, people are friendly and it has a cool layout. There's a wide variety of problems catering for a range of styles and difficulties. Highly recommended!

An inviting venue, with welcoming staff even for beginners. If you are just trying out for the first time, try the two week reduced price, as for it In store.

When done then you can decide to take out the much longer membership. And if you are considering taking it up, buy your own shoes - otherwise rentals are $7 per day.

Good luck!

Nice arrangements from beginers level to advance level.
Good instructions. It was my first time but I didn't have much difficulty, good team activitiy.

Good exercise . Love the experience . If it s a one off visit - try groupons . Works best if you take a 10 visit pass. Staff at 9 degrees Alexandria are good .

Friendly atmosphere, with fun and challenging climbs for all skill levels. Would recommend for fun with friends.

Great place to go to alone, with the kids or with friends, couldn't recommend this place enough to people 10/10

Great bouldering gym. Staff are friendly and great atmosphere. There are a number of climbing routes and the walls are well maintained. Definitely worth a visit, even if you are a beginner as you can even rent climbing shoes for the day.

Best gym/sport, awesome coffee and staff, nice route-setting - mix of burly and technical. Highly recommend!

This is a nice place with an easy color coded grading system. It also does great, cheap toasties for when you get peckish. It can get busy, but not too much waiting for routes

Can't recommend this place enough. The climbs are awesome, with difficulty levels that everyone can grasp (pun intended). All the staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the coffee by Sample roasters is spot on every time.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere for beginners and advanced alike

Very nice gym with a small workout area and nice stuff. Unfortunately, the holds were very dirty and sometimes I was not able to identify the colours, especially when looking down at the holds during bouldering. The holds are also slippery because of all the dirt.
They should set new routes more frequently and then I would give 5 stars :)

Definitely a fun experience!! Staff are friendly too! :) enjoyed our first time, will definitely come back!

Good vibes, people are super welcoming, staff are friendly and the walls are good. Gets busy but that's to be expected I guess!

Best climbing in Sydney. Great staff, great atmosphere, great coffee. Technical bouldering and a dog friendly gym. What's more to love

Catered for all levels of climbers, from beginner to real hardcore peeps!

Great gym with awesome problems and an excellent vibe.

Shoe hire and food, or bring your own and use the microwave upstairs.

I came down for the first time a couple of weeks ago with some mates, totally hooked!

Front counter dude is kind and super on the ball. Terrific variety of climbs with solid progression

I've been tempted to dust off the cobbwebs to the old climbing does ever since this place opened it's big roller door, and this week I took a day off work to make it a long weekend to try out the wall with a mate from Melbourne.

It was disappointing to see that I couldn't immediately climb this wall like spider man.
Now I need to go back and keep going back until I can.

I didn't get very far with the color coded grades, I was almost able to achieve all the blue climbs, the 0 grade.

At $20 a day pass we hung around for most of the day, ducking out for some food and then coming back with the added challenge of extra weight.

The atmosphere of the place is great, you could watch some amazing climbers scaling the wall with the tips of their fingers, splayed out reaching the tiniest finger holds.

There's no pressure to hurry up, as everyone there is friendly and chill.

I would have liked to have seen more climbs that went across the horizontal, as opposed to the vertical, providing for a longer boulder, but each of the vertical climbs would take sufficient time to solve.

Great bouldering gym, good range of problems and decent reset rate!
