Mitchell Gym Gallery

A photo tour of our North Rocks gym in Mitchell.

The view of our gym to the right when walking through the entrance, showing the kitchen, hallway, and front counter.

Our front bench where visitors check in. A carved wooden Gecko painted black mounted on an orange wooden oval hangs from the front of the desk. A drink fridge stands behind the desk.

A climbing wall with two ropes directly adjacent to the front counter. Also visible: our roller doors, which are opened during the warm months to allow additional airflow.

A close-up of one of our climbing walls showing holds of many different colours.

When walking into the gym, this is the climbing wall directly to the left. There's a steep incline at the top of the first 5 ropes, making the finnishes of the climbs slightly more challenging.

The next section of climbing walls, designed with varying degrees of incline. In addition to holds, we also affix features to the walls, which are changed regularly to switch things up for our regular climbers. Quick draws placed on the wall indicate places where qualified climbers can lead climb.

We refer to this section of the wall as "the house," offering a wide variation of steepness, roofs, and features.

A corner of the Mitchell gym, featuring climbing walls and a chimney with no holds.

A close up of our chimney, which is climbed without using holds and by bracing your body in between walls.

A view from the inside of the chimney looking up toward the ceiling.

Our slab walls, which are easier to climb due to the inward incline.

At the top of our slab wall, lead climbers can access the roof climbs. The roof climb runs along the ceiling, and is painted white, black, and grey, with some features affixed to it, and quick draws hanging down.

The middle section of the roof, with an orange gecko painted in the center and an orange stalactite hanging down.

The last section of the roof. The roof spans the gym's ceiling, as is for climbers with lead passes only.

Our Mitchell gym has an upstairs area dedicated entirely to bouldering, with a variety of wall shapes and steepness.

Like the downstairs area, this cave also has a steep training wall with no assigned routes.

A long bench provides a viewing and rest area in the upstairs bouldering cave. The cave also has a great balcony view of the lower floor of the gym.

In our gym's kitchen, you'll have access to a sink, a microwave, a mini-fridge, mugs, cutlery, plates, bowls, and complimentary instant coffee and tea.

Three tables stand in a row in the center of the gym. Parties and functions receive a table with their booking, which they are allowed to decorate as they like.
