Casual Bouldering

The Lactic Factory is Melbourne's first bouldering gym. A lot of us discovered our love of bouldering at the Lactic Factory, so it holds a special place in our hearts. For over 10 years it’s been serving up fresh climbs for beginners and crushers alike.

Think caves, low overhangs & giant rocks. Indoors this equates to 3.8m high walls of all angles, with nice soft mats to fall on. We've got something for everyone. Whether you prefer a gentle 10 degree overhang or an effectively upside down 60 degree overhang, we've got you covered. We also have a spot to relax while you're not climbing, some food and drink to keep you going, some basic climbing gear to buy, hire shoes, toilets, some cool old speakers pumping out jams, campus board, roman rings, weights, room to stretch and ... plants.
