Rocksports

Disgraceful customer service when attending a friend’s 10 year old birthday party.
He told the kids to get out of the way and get on with things when they were waiting for a turn-​would not recommend this place to anyone looking to have a birthday party here. I have read another similar review about the appalling attitude of the so called manager.

I am not a sporty person at all, but one sport I like is rock climbing. There is something very satisfying about climbing up a wall and reaching the top; maybe its because it reminds me of my childhood summer camping days or maybe I just like to colourful «rocks that look like bubblegum» on the walls. Rocksports is an excellent little centre for rock climbing enthusiasts and novices.
Rocksports accomodates for rock climbers of all levels; from young kids who are trying to for the first time to adults who know their way around rocky walls. You do not need your own gear as all of that can be rented out at a reasonable price. First time visitors will be given a tour and a tutorial. I have also noticed that they hold classes for kids. There is ample room and many walls to choose from.
If you are a fan of rock climbing or wish to try it out, Rocksports is a great inner city location to do so.

I enjoy mixing things up and trying new things because I think that life is more interesting that way. I headed out to Rocksport after having done an assignment at university about rock climbing. I figured to get a better idea of the place and the sport I should try it out as I had only done it once or twice before. When you get there it’s quite exciting but you can’t ahead of yourself because there are some safety tips to go through before you get started. Once you get signed up and become a member you get a pair of climbing shoes and a harness. You are then taken out to the learning bay where they go over all the safety instructions and how you should climb. This only takes about 5 minuet’s and soon you will be climbing. The good thing about becoming a member is that you show your card to avoid having to do the safety course again. It is a good day’s workout and if you are not a sporty person you will be sore the next day. It’s also quite addictive and I enjoy going back to try and see if you can get higher and get onto the more difficult walls.

Rocksports is an indoor climbing climbing centre in the heart of the Valley. They cater to all sorts, from hardcore climbers to kids. On weeknights you will find it packed with the former as it is open until late and in a perfect location for everyone to head to after work whereas on the weekends you are more likely to be sharing a wall with a party of school children.
For the small building that it occupies, they make great use of the space with the 8 metre high walls twisting around corners and over ceilings so that the place is almost like a cave. The climbs themselves range in difficulty from ridiculously easy for the youngsters to impossibly difficult for those a little more practised. It’s pretty incredible to watch people who really know what they’re doing swing gracefully up the wall using only tiny finger-​holds like it’s as easy as walking!
$ 27 gets you a harness and shoes as well as a climb and a fantastic workout. First timers are given a training session on how to use the ropes and instructors also wander the floor checking safety gear and giving climbing tips to those who need it.
