Cliffhanger Climbing Gym

Roped indoor climbing in Altona North where a parent can hold the rope while their child climbs. Children can start at two, but anyone under 13 needs an older person to belay. Day passes last until closing, making this an option for families who want time to practise rather than a short timed session.
