Why Project Climbing

Walls that climb well and look the part

From a single bouldering room to a full climbing centre, we understand how much functional and aesthetic design matters in a commercial climbing wall. Indoor climbing and bouldering keep evolving, and your walls should too.

  1. Quality

    We use premium materials and proven construction methods, so you know the quality you receive will be nothing less than the best.

  2. Aesthetic

    The look of a modern climbing gym is integral to creating inspiring spaces that invite creativity and community. We combine aesthetics and function to create beautiful climbing spaces.

  3. Expertise

    Our team brings over 20 years of combined industry experience in climbing wall design, construction and route setting for bouldering and climbing facilities.

Safety and compliance

Designed to AS 2316, ready to be inspected

Every wall is designed to AS 2316, the Australian Standard for climbing walls: AS 2316.1.1 for roped walls and AS 2316.1.2 for bouldering walls.

Once you're open, AS 2316 requires an annual comprehensive inspection by a competent person external to the operator. Our specialist team provides independent inspections across Australia and New Zealand.
