Northern Rocks

“A great time, with a great community. Every time I visit, I am greeted with a warm smile from the staff and a smooth, straightforward sign-in process. The team has always been fantastic. Special mention goes to Bodhi, who makes an excellent cup of coffee and brings a friendly, welcoming presence. Tom is also consistently helpful, responsive, and professional, with a clear and approachable way of explaining things that makes climbing easier to understand and more enjoyable. It feels reassuring to know you are supported by such capable and caring staff. The climbs themselves are always well thought out, scaling for climbers of any skill level. I always find there is plenty to do and many enjoyable climbs to work on. The hangout areas are really nice too. You can sit down on a comfortable couch before or after your workout and chat with your mates in the welcoming Northern Rocks community. Everyone there seems kind, encouraging, and good-spirited, and I have made many great friends over the years. If you are looking for a place to try bouldering, or for a community of great climbers supported by a warm and professional team, I highly recommend Northern Rocks. In my opinion, they are a true staple of Auckland’s North Shore community and always worth a visit.”

“Absolutely love Northern Rocks Indoor Climbing! From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming and motivating. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help whether you're a complete beginner or experienced climber. The facility is clean, well laid out, and offers a fantastic variety of walls and routes that keep things exciting every visit. What really stands out is how supportive the environment feels. It’s a great place to challenge yourself, build confidence, and get a solid workout without it feeling like a chore. The routes are changed regularly, so there’s always something new to try. Whether you’re going solo, with friends, or bringing the family, it’s an awesome experience every time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for fun, fitness, and a positive vibe all in one place.”

“Got recommended to come by a friend and man was it amazing. At first I was very apprehensive with the whole bouldering thing and the "hygiene" of it, but the routes are well planned out and the staff are extremely friendly and understanding. They have a large variety of rental gear and offered some of the most reasonable prices I have seen. I've enjoyed my time so much there I come at least twice a week and joined a club! Highly recommend coming to at least take a look.”

“Really good atmosphere with some nice routes. Came here on a whim during an Auckland visit and was not disappointed by the quality of the setting or the venue. Had great interactions with both the staff. Decently priced with a very generous first time offer giving you free access for the following week. Dog friendly which is a huge plus. Would recommend coming if you want to try out bouldering”
