9 Degrees is a bouldering gym located in Alexandria, where climbers don’t use ropes or harnesses but instead scale shorter walls beside thick, padded flooring. The benefit here is that you won’t need a climbing partner, equipment or much training – you can just strap on a pair of shoes and explore the centre’s 140 different climbs in nine degrees of difficulty, from entry level to competition levels.
It’s very close to SkyZone and the Rocks Brewery, so you can easily make a day of beer-fueled sporty indoor activities. These bouldering specialists now also have sister gyms in Parramatta and Lane Cove.
