La Roca Boulders

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for everyone, they have so many facilities and a great community. Would definitely recommend for everyone regardless of your background or experience! Thanks for helping me out! (Give Nacho a raise)

Fantastic experience: Good vibes and challenging climbs that keep me coming back! Great range of climbing styles and difficulties with something for everyone. I’ve been coming here for 6 years and love the new additions over the years including the 24/7 Annex Gym and the gender inclusive Sunday Sessions

Fantastic experience: My friend was getting a tour/demonstration of the bouldering and gym services and she had a very good guide. Anna was attentive to the process and made the whole experience interesting, they were lovely. All staff members are lovely and going there enjoyable

Fantastic experience: Great service from Oscar. Excellent spray walls and gym area. Really enjoyed the routes here. Pretty light on slab but otherwise great.

Positive experience: too cold in winter

Fantastic experience: Usually go to Boulder lab. This one is smaller but still has many different climbs, very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The drinks are also very good. There are lots of beginner friendly climbs as well for those who want to get started with bouldering.

Fantastic experience: Widely regarded as the best bouldering gym in Melbourne for good reason. Route setting twice a week so always something new. Also a Moon board and three spray walls. Mostly regulars so a nice sense of community but very welcoming place for beginners.

Fantastic experience: Great, interesting and challenging climbing with an awesome training area!

Fantastic experience: The vibe here is always amazing. Awesome climbs that are always being updated and provide a challenge for all skill levels. Extremely warm friendly staff that love what they do. Best coffees I've ever had. Well planned and looked after gym and bathroom facilities. Keep up the great work guys.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! Recently went for a physio appointment for posterior tibialis tendinopathy and Eugenia was great. I’m following her rehab plan and I’m pretty much pain free when I run now!

Fantastic experience: One the best. Excellent setting with harder outdoor style. Still approachable for less experienced and beginners, which is the hardest group to set fun problems for imo. Keeping it challenging without being a ladder. Coffee and ceramics are delightful. Bonus of the sir conditioned extension with spray wall and gym. Loved the community feels. Very friendly crowd. Well done team! You’ve created a gem.

Fantastic experience: I've never felt more welcomed into a community. The smell of success is as rich in the air as the floor is clean of chalk. It's both a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and yet neither. I've made lifelong friends and dozens of pleasant aquintances. Coming to La Roca is the highlight of my week. And after a long day, there's nothing I look forward to than my home away from home P.S: visiting Melbourne? Ask for Oscar at La Roca. He is both the best personality and the most handsome man alive. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I always have a great time here! Oscar takes great care of everyone and is always super friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Close to the best setting in Melbourne, keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for vibes, tasteful climbs, tasty sparkling water (on tap) and even tastier coffee, look no further than La Roca Boulders. The staff genuinely care about fostering a friendly community, which is supported by a diverse range of climbs for beginners to Grampians weekend warriors alike. This establishment really takes on a holistic approach to climbing ( in a non-cult way) by having a 24/7 annex training gym complete with an array of gym equipment and a spray wall; an in house physio and myotherapist; as well as a strength and conditioning coach (if you are gunning to be the next Alex Honnold). Could not recommend this gem highly enough.

Positive experience: Pretty good climbing gym, good range of climbs, tougher than Boulder Lab, and the sinks in the toilets give hot water to wash your hands, so that's a plus!

Fantastic experience: Awesome climbing gym and facilities. Oscar at the fronts a legend.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff and an amazing community vibe. Although it can get busy at times, the gym is large enough and well spaced that you won’t wait too long for a climb. Highly recommend the coffee too!

Fantastic experience: Excellent vibe and welcoming :) There is coffee, hot chocolate and sparkling water

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. More outdoor style compared to Urban Climb

Fantastic experience: The staff is super professional, the whole time they were attentive to my friend and me who are beginners.

Fantastic experience: Pretty solid gym. Staff are the best there.

Fantastic experience: The sets were great, not just a dyno fest, hard moves at higher levels lots of interesting and different climbs Clean gym, good range of gym equipment and spray/moon boards. Staff friendly, good facilities

Fantastic experience: My favourite climbing gym and place to train. Great coffee, community and atmosphere. Super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Fully the best bouldering gym in the galaxy.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff / customers and some of the best routes in Melbourne

Fantastic experience: Nacho was an extremely welcoming and warm worker! I'm new to bouldering, and was extremely intimidated. Nacho made sure I felt comfortable and had a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and climbs here. Also why is some of the best coffee I've ever had in Melbourne at a climbing gym in Oakleigh? ✨

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of this place. The staff and the people that climb here are very friendly. Before coming to La Roca I had never been to a climbing gym. During my safety brief, Chris (employee) made an extended effort to make sure I was across the basics so I could climb with confidence. I have since fallen in love with the sport. Thanks to the guys and girls at La Roca.

Fantastic experience: Beautifully crafted climbing gym. I find it has more unique holds, angles and styles. Spacious and good util. There is a separate area/annex focused around training. Friendly staff and community. Dog friendly too of course. The only negative after going here for a bit, is on warmer days, I feel like I'm cooking like a rotisserie chicken. Coffee is beautiful though, drinkable straight away vs other places which are immediate fiery chaos in your mouth. Coffee: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Combination of fun and challenging climbing with a properly equipped gym and 24/7 access is unparalleled in Victoria. This place is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Super fun location and staff was amazing

Fantastic experience: LA ROCAAAAA. Friendly staff, great environment and fun climbs. Classic LA ROCAAAA type of vibes.

Fantastic experience: The annex is iconic. So god damned good, and air conditioned! So good on a hot day and the staff are lovely. Good for all skill levels

Fantastic experience: For someone new to bouldering, the gym is a nice size that you don't get lost with what to do. Enough beginner problems to get you progressing. Friendly and helpful staff and climbers. Facilities are clean. Coffee is great. Good value to start with their Starter Pack. The routes are reset regularly enough that you don't run out of problems to solve. Ít is a fun physical activity to do on a weekly basis for me.

Fantastic experience: Really good place with friendly staff. Good for groups

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for awhile now. Great community and fun climbs that change regularly. Its definitely smaller than other gyms, but it kindda gives you this cozy feeling imo

Fantastic experience: The main bouldering gym always has heaps interesting climbs with regularly reset walls. They also have excellent coffee with many plant milks. The new Annex area next door has Stokt walls, new gym equipment, stretching mats and 24/7 access for members to Annex, which is great for summer.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic routes, fun and friendly staff and great atmosphere. Clearly run by people who are there for the love of climbing and not just the money like some other gyms. Love this place and love supporting it

Positive experience: Pretty nice

Fantastic experience: Google asked me to rate this place based on my visit of their website. Was a good website, had some nice dogs on it.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing centre with amazing coffee! The new weights area and splash wall is a huge addition. ‍♂️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Best boulder gym in Melbourne if you want to get outside. Generous and friendly staff, they love what they do and it shows. They are largely ignoring the fashions in commercial, indoor, comp inspired setting and understand the demands of real rock climbing. Engaging problems for all levels. Excellent training zone in the Annex. Their three different spray walls contain a lifetime of hard moves, a huge investment of excellent holds, some of which are hand made in-house. The degree of sandbagging is sometimes staggering, which I don't intend as a compliment but Australians seem to always take as one so go figure.

Fantastic experience: Really cool routes in the main gym and awesome 24/7 facilities. Super friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Amazing climbing, lovely people and the best coffee

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot. Great service and amazing set up.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and love the horizontal settings too!

Fantastic experience: Some of the nicest staff in the industry! Great vibes and setting love coming to this gym whenever I am in town.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and welcoming staff. I personally go for the great coffee and vibe while Im waiting for my daughter to finish her gymnastics sessions a couple of buildings down the road - and take the opportunity to continue with some work in the seating area. Have been saying to myself that i’ll look to do a climb or two in the future (still haven’t but looking forward to giving it a go).

Fantastic experience: Already was the best bouldering gym! Now with the addition of the Annex it’s gone the next level in providing more for those keen to get the most from their bouldering experience! Great work La Roca!

Fantastic experience: Great climbs, great staff

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Melbourne. Hard climbs and good staff.

Fantastic experience: one time I came here to climb without any pants and the owner loaned me a pair of his shorts that were unwashed and smelled like ambrosia. needless to say, that day I ticked several V17s in the gym (no footage, get your own beta gumby), such was the funk, such was the stoke. at this stage, i would let the staff brand me with a la roca decal if it meant they'd finally let me out of the annex toilets... but the faraday cage holds firm (did you know it's 24/7? so cool!)

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Such a good vibe! So close to Monash Uni and the Bouldering levels have a great range and have plenty of options for beginners too unlike some places. I wish this was here when I was back at uni!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coffee, great staff and awesome climbs! Love the style and the vibes.

Fantastic experience: Great place for bouldering and a coffee, the staff and other customers are so welcoming! Found it very easy to start conversations and talk to other climbers.

Positive experience: It's a decently sized gym in a good location. Climbs are really good, very creative and fun to do. Staff are super friendly for first timers. Downside is that it gets super busy and crowded when people finish work. Also, the $10 first time registration fee is steep, but if you're planning of going there a lot then I guess it's fine.

Fantastic experience: Good fun, great crowd. Routes get changed often so keeps the difficulty.

Fantastic experience: First time bouldering. I found La Roca awesome. The people and atmosphere were great, the climbs seemed very well thought out (and spread across a range of difficulties) and a special shout out to the staff who were super inviting and took as through a great induction, even lending us some liquid chalk (I'm sorry I can't remember the name). The team also seemed very responsible around Covid stuff, which is always good to see! Will be back for sure! See you guys soon.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Coffee, super friendly staff, can't wait to go back

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and really cool atmosphere. It's dog friendly too so expect to see lots of cute floofs around

Positive experience: This place is set up well and the staff are friendly but it's expensive, as most rock climbing gyms are. So even though this is very close to my home I'd prefer to travel to the Burnley Bouldering Wall for a free climb.

Fantastic experience: Just started a couple weeks ago. Best decision. Amazing people, set up and vibe in general.

Fantastic experience: The problems were very challenging, and my friend very psyched!

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff. Really nice and clean place as well. Haven't tried the cafe yet but heard it's really good. Safe and friendly atmosphere as well.

Fantastic experience: Great coffee

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Variety of challenging climbs AND FREE SPARKLING WATER

Fantastic experience: quality cafe

Fantastic experience: Cozy gym with varied routesetting. Love that there's a real slab section. Grades are on point, friendly staff. One thing I missed were changing rooms, if you want to change in private you have to use the toilets.

Fantastic experience: So much fun, very reasonable prices and the staff are lovely

Fantastic experience: Great place to hang out after work

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, overall good experience

Fantastic experience: It's a great place if you are new to bouldering. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and the walls/holds are clean and well-maintained. Great vibe with a variety of well-set routes and difficulty levels. There is also a gym area, and they serve exceptional coffee!

Fantastic experience: Much harder and more creative routes than I'm used too! Certainly going to add La Rocja to my climb rotation.

Positive experience: Good bouldering place. Quite fun. Not particularly good for casual or first time boulderers, better for people with some level of skill. That being said, as first time boulderers with no skill whatsoever, we still had a good time.

Negative experience: Small boulder gym. The hold’s need some cleaning!! But the staff is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Best bouldering gym I have ever visited. There are closer gyms for me to visit but I come here. Don't let the small size fool you, the quality and variety of their climbs are top notch. La Roca dishes out much more challenging climbs than other gyms whilst also providing beginner climbs that guide you to develop good climbing technique. The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming. They are always enthusiastic in providing advice when you ask them for it. Their coffee is another reason to go, they take their coffee just as seriously as their boulders. They also seem to run off the philosophy of humility and are against being greedy with their business. Their prices are more than fair considering the benefits of climbing at this gym. Thank you La Roca Boulders!

Fantastic experience: My happy place. Great boulder problems which are rotated out weekly, nice exercise area with a variety of hangboards, moonboard setup, super friendly staff, great coffee and a chilled and friendly atmosphere; it's a shame I only get here around three times a week.

Fantastic experience: Good setting, nice vibe and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Excelent coffee... Nice people... Great place to exercise

Fantastic experience: Nice people, hands got btfo tho

Fantastic experience: Great fun and welcoming to beginners

Fantastic experience: Hidden gem. Great place for bouldering and a workout. Friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly

Fantastic experience: Incredibly fun. A bit pricey for your first time, but it's reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Great coffee, great climbing - just a super chill space and worth adding to your Melbourne boulder loop. Would say it's similar to Northside style indoor and less like Urban Climb.

Fantastic experience: Great experience climbing with cool staff and a relaxed environment. Coffee is a 10/10 too

Positive experience: Very well managed! Chilled and sparkling water on tap for free (just BYO bottle). Routes are changed weekly. The initial price is a little steep at $35 including shoe hire but membership prices are fairly priced.

Fantastic experience: Nice atmosphere. Great problems. Excellent staff

Fantastic experience: Good place to exercise, the challenging part is to figure the puzzles on the wall.

Positive experience: Lovely bouldering gym, great coffee, opening hours are helpful. Im not a big fan of the first time registration fee but good things cost money.

Fantastic experience: Staff are super friendly, atmosphere is good. I imagine it would get packed later in the day

Fantastic experience: Awesome bouldering gym and some of the loveliest staff you'll ever meet!

Fantastic experience: Great climbs, good beverages, lovely staff.

Fantastic experience: La Roca is a warm and welcoming bouldering gym. I've been climbing here for two months now and never had a bad experience. The problems are a good mix of challenging and fun, the climbing crowd is respectful, and the staff are knowledgeable and approachable. Thanks for having me La Roca!

Fantastic experience: Best climbs best coffee ☕️ ✌️

Fantastic experience: Awesome Bouldering gym, has fresh routes every week, and an amazingly warm staff.

Fantastic experience: on the slightly dearer side of climbing venues but they have awesome facilities so it more than evens out. great coffee too!

Fantastic experience: Love it here!

Positive experience: Excellent coffee, not huge but decent climbs.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and friendly bouldering spot in Oakleigh.
