Large number of routes to climb of varying difficulty, which was great. Service was quick, and lots of good merchandise in the shop. There is only 1 ladies toilet, which can be a bit difficult, but at least it's a nice one. Parking can be difficult, so take public transport if you can.
This place is the MacBook of climbing gyms: it's white, a great product, and handsomely priced. Staff are pleasant and coffee is great. The venue is populated with new and old climbers, but not sold out to school groups. Walls are varied with the latest, interesting holds. Nothing "backyard home-job" about this gym, very professional. Campus board is well thought out with phone holds and there's a slack line for when your arms burn out. On the critical side, the membership costs are some how comparable to entire golf courses in the same area with actual staff and maintenance costs. Opening hours could be more generous. The product is fantastic, value proposition for members is not exciting, but should prevent the place from being overpopulated. There's obviously a huge demand for a gym of this caliber.
9 degrees had really revived the climbing culture in Sydney. Sydney needed a fresh new face to climbing and these guys pretty much nailed it. Awesome bright, open white walls and matts, with an open plan gym and training area. The middle is full of couches plus a slackline for letting your hands rest, and the coffee is absolutely on point. Fun boulders, lots of grades, but stronger climbers might find lack of variety or inspiration, along with difficulty training. It's too 'fun' to train there!
Cool spacious bouldering gym with interesting and fun problems for beginners and pros. New routes for one degree of difficulty each week. Very friendly and helpful staff. Could be a bit less expensive, though.
Definitely can be fun but if you don't have the upper body strength etc. for it you will tire very fast and only the thought of the $27 you spent to try the sport will have any hope of keeping you going. Otherwise very friendly and helpful staff. Some food and drink options available but definitely recommend organising a different place to eat for something filling and value friendly.
Whole lot of fun, love bouldering here. During certain times, it can be really crowded so it is hard to make the most of your time, but I definitely recommend this gym.
Good friendly environment, nice walls to pratice on
Good selection of climbs, shoe hire available, staff could be a bit more attentive instead of chatting to each other but generally a very clean and well looked after bouldering gym.
Enjoyed the gym! Nice people and good climbs! Some of the holds/climbs could definitely use a clean as they were pretty slippery. Also docked one star because they offered disposable cups for water. Offer something reusable (glass) or encourage the use of drink bottles at least.
Busy and expensive (especially if you rent shoes) but very fun and friendly
Nice bouldering only gym in Sydney. Not super large but big enough to have a decent variety of problems with a wide set of difficulties. They also have a light up moon board! Is a bit busy weekday nights.
Friendly and professional staff, spaced very well. I only suggest that you consider what trying and day you go as there is very limited parking. My only minor beef is not having CLIF bars on stock! And no compostable via like 9DP?
Generally quite good. Some of the holds are very slick and need to be replaced.
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.
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.
Parking is not great but this place is fantastic. Good people, good vibes. A little expensive.
Enjoyed their setting more than nomad. Holds could use a cleaning.
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.
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
Good but can be very busy in the evenings on a week day. So pick your times :)
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.
Good bouldering area heaps fun. Just get too busy after 7 pm and have to wait forever to do a round.
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
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 :)
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.
Really great climbing gym with the routes changed up frequently.
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
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).
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.
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
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.
Great fun, friendly staff. Exorbitant prices though.
Parking a challenge, otherwise a great place. They change one grade of "problems" per week to keep things interesting
So many walls. Really awesome place to go bouldering or get started! The space is bright and roomy.
