24.01.2022 Under construction New climbs coming soon

24.01.2022 Hi friends, we will be reopening on Friday the 26th of June. We would have loved to start setting sooner however we were only given the green light to start from the 22nd. Setting will take quite a few days as the crew is quite small, made up entirely of volunteers. We ask that you hold out for a little longer and give us some space to work. The entire wall will be off limits in order to set climbs more safely and efficiently. We can’t wait for you to all share this space again and we thank you for your patience during this time

24.01.2022 Hey everyone, We’ve just begun resetting and we will be ready for you all on Friday the 13th. You can pop down around 6pm each day to try the new routes if your super keen to get on. We’ve had some awesome people come down and volunteer there time and experience so this set will be ... As you can imagine, there is a tonne of work to do to reset the wall from scratch so please be patient and try not to come down while we are working as you will be turned away. We’ve also been fortunate enough to receive some new holds that have been provided to us by the great team at @cityofmaribyrnong They have been truly amazing to work with. More info in the coming days

24.01.2022 Thank you for the logo Leigh RH ! If you need a bit of design work done, Leigh is your man. Absolute pleasure working with him

23.01.2022 Landscaping work is currently underway to make this space even better. A big thank you to the @cityofmaribyrnong for investing in the climbing community.

18.01.2022 We’ve just received a new sign! Thanks to the @cityofmaribyrnong for making this happen. Now if only we could get Jemena to connect the lights

18.01.2022 Teamwork makes the dream work Thank you to our friends at @cu.climbing for the incredible help

17.01.2022 It’s been a long time but we are once again back open. If you’re planning on coming down, please read the rules and etiquette page. As always, have fun and stay safe

16.01.2022 Surprise number 2. We’ve just received a bunch of holds from our friends at @urbanclimbcollingwood We’ve been so fortunate to have holds and volumes donated to us, which has allowed us to keep things interesting for you.

12.01.2022 Volumes! Through the incredible generosity of @la.roca.boulders and Hank’s woodie, we now have volumes! Christmas has come early as we also have another surprise installed. Stay tuned!

07.01.2022 Hi friends. In the interest of public health and safety during this time, we’ve removed all the holds from Footscray wall. As gyms around the country close their doors due to the Corona Virus, we couldn’t possibly leave this wall as it was. It breaks our hearts as we know many of you have come to embraced this facility. We will keep you updated when things change however it looks as though it might be some time from now. Please stay safe and take care of one another.

06.01.2022 Ready and waiting. We had planned to start setting this week however after much discussion with Maribrynong City Council and Victorian Climbing Club, we decided that in the best interest of public safety we would wait until the gyms reopen on the 22nd of June. Thank you for all your patience and we hope to see you again soon

06.01.2022 What goes up, must come down. Footscray wall will be closed for a minimum of 6 weeks. Our hearts go out to everyone that’s doing it rough during these times. There’s light at the end of the tunnel but sometimes we all need to take a step back in order to move forward. Be safe and be kind

06.01.2022 Lots of you have asked when the lights overhead will be turned on. As it stands, we are awaiting Jemena to make the connection to the wall. The wall itself is all ready to go but it needs the equivalent of an extension cord being connecting to a power point. When the lights come on we will put up a post for everything to see. No time line has been mentioned unfortunately so fingers crossed it will be soon. Sorry for the delay

04.01.2022 Hi friends, Thank you to everyone for sending through your questions and well wishes. A lot of people have been asking when we will reopen - the short answer is when gyms reopen in Melbourne. Although outdoor equipment and playgrounds are open, it would be irresponsible to open given we cannot implement serious safety measures. Also, being the only wall open when the rest of Melbourne’s gyms are closed will create issue regarding capacity. We are a small crew of volunteers, we have a limited amount of resources and putting up routes and taking them back down can takes days of work. So we hope you understand and fingers crossed we will see you shorty. Side note: we recently received funding from @cityofmaribyrnong for new holds from @tnutclimbing so there will be some brand new holds to play on when we are back up and running
