Bouldering opens to the public
Bouldering is open to members and the general public. We're working hard to restore access to the rope climbing wall, but it remains closed for safety reasons. Our members and guests remain our highest priority, and we look forward to reopening the gym fully as soon as possible. We have new and exciting plans for climbing courses too — register your interest now.

The Pocket Café Bar
Our fully licensed café and bar — open every day, no climbing required. Famous for our Pocket Poke Bowls, sourced from local, award-winning suppliers.
First Visit · Rockhampton
Your first climb starts here
No experience needed. No gear required. Here's everything to know before your first visit — we'll take care of the rest when you arrive.
Before you arrive
Good to know
Walk-ins welcome
No booking needed — just show up. We run welcome sessions every 30 minutes to get you climbing safely.
Transparent pricing
Day passes, gear hire and memberships are all listed online. No surprises at the desk.
All levels, all ages
Beginners are why we're here. Over-5s can climb. Under-16s need an adult with them — max 2 kids per adult.
Waiver first
Save time on arrival — complete your waiver online before you visit. It takes a minute.
Step by step
What your first visit looks like
Walk in through The Pocket
Our café is the first thing you'll see. Get comfortable, watch the climbing, and ask the team when you're ready — we were all first-timers once.
Get registered
We'll sort your waiver and have a quick chat about what you want from your visit. Under-18s need a parent or guardian to complete their waiver — do it online beforehand.
Gear up
Hire shoes and a harness if you need them. Bring your own socks — they're required for shoe hire. We'll walk you through the rest.
On the wall
You won't be left to figure it out. Bouldering is great for solo visits; rope climbing runs in groups of up to six, and auto-belays let you climb without a partner.
Back to The Pocket
Most visits end at the café. Debrief, refuel, or grab a drink from the licensed bar.
What to bring
Just the basics
Comfortable clothes
Anything you can move in — activewear or shorts and a tee. Nothing too baggy, and remove jewellery before you climb.
Climbing shoes
Available to hire at the desk — no need to buy your own before your first visit.
Socks — required
You'll need socks to hire shoes. Please bring your own; we don't sell them at the desk.
Water bottle
There's a bubbler on site, and The Pocket has juices, soft drinks and coffee covered too.
Chalk & harness
Hire or buy on site. Harness required on the rope wall; chalk is optional but handy.
Nothing else needed
Show up as you are — we have everything to hire or buy.
House rules
Gym etiquette
A few simple courtesies keep everyone safe and the vibe good. New to climbing? Don't stress — our team will happily show you the ropes.
Mind the fall zone
Never climb, sit or stand directly below or above someone. Keep the matted landing area clear so climbers can come off the wall safely.
Wait your turn
If someone's already on or working a problem, give them room and let them finish before you start the same line.
Bags & gear aside
Keep bags, water bottles, phones and shoes off the mats and in the racks or lockers provided.
Brush & share holds
Brush chalk build-up off holds, and share popular problems — everyone's here to climb.
Clean shoes, no chalk clouds
Climbing shoes on the wall only, and keep loose chalk to a minimum. A chalk ball helps keep the air clear.
Look after each other
Offer a spot or a bit of beta if it's welcome, watch out for kids and beginners, and flag anything unsafe to staff.
Questions
Common questions
Do I need to have climbed before?
Not at all. A big chunk of our visitors are complete beginners. We'll show you how to read a route, move on the wall, and fall safely — you'll be climbing within your first session.
What's the difference between bouldering and rope climbing?
Bouldering is on shorter walls (under ~4m) without a rope, over thick mats. Rope climbing goes higher and needs a harness and a belayer. Bouldering is the easier entry point; rope climbing is great for groups.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes — over-5s can climb and it's genuinely family-friendly. Under-18s need a guardian-signed waiver, and children under 16 must be actively supervised at a maximum of 2 children per adult.
Can I come by myself?
Absolutely. Bouldering is especially solo-friendly, and auto-belays on the rope wall let you climb without a partner.
Will I be sore afterward?
Possibly — especially your forearms. It's a good kind of sore, and it gets noticeably better after a few sessions.

Ways to climb
Bouldering in Rockhampton
Climbing at its purest — short, powerful problems over thick safety matting. No ropes, no harness, no partner. Just you, the wall, and the next move.
of bouldering terrain
grades, beginner to expert
fresh problem sets
age to start
What is bouldering?
Bouldering is climbing on shorter walls — up to around 4.5 metres — without a rope, landing on thick crash matting. Routes are called "problems", and each is a puzzle of movement graded by difficulty and marked by coloured holds.
It's the most social and beginner-friendly way to climb: no equipment to learn, no belay partner needed, and you can rest and chat between attempts. Our setters refresh problems regularly so there's always something new to try.
Good to know
Bouldering is graded by colour. Start on the easiest colours and work up as you build confidence and technique.
All you need is hire shoes and (optionally) chalk — we'll show you how to fall and down-climb safely.
Our bouldering walls
Slab & vertical
Balance and footwork on lower-angle walls — the perfect place to learn to trust your feet.
Overhang & cave
Steeper, powerful climbing for when you're ready to test your strength and body tension.
Fresh sets
New problems set regularly across every grade, so regulars always have a new challenge.

Ways to climb
Rope Climbing in Rockhampton
Go higher. Our rope walls take you up tall routes with the security of a rope — and with auto-belays, you don't even need a partner to get started.

auto-belay stations

How rope climbing works
Rope climbing lets you climb high walls safely, attached to a rope that catches you if you come off. On our auto-belay stations the system takes up the rope for you and lowers you gently back down — so you can climb solo, no belay partner required.
Prefer to climb with a friend? Top-rope climbing with a partner is also available once you're signed off, and our team can get you started with the basics of belaying.
Getting started
Auto-belays are the easiest way in — a quick induction and you're climbing. A harness is required and available to hire.
Lead climbing and partner belaying require a competency check — ask our staff about getting signed off.
Ways to climb the ropes
Auto-belay
Climb on your own, any time. The device takes in the slack and lowers you smoothly — ideal for beginners and fitness.
Top rope
Climb with a partner belaying from the ground once you're signed off — great for pushing your grades.
Lead climbing
For experienced climbers — clip the rope as you go. Complete a lead assessment to unlock independent lead climbing.

Train like a climber
Climbing-specific training builds the finger strength, power and body tension that translate directly onto the wall. Our mezzanine training zone brings together the boards climbers actually use to get stronger — in one dedicated space away from the main walls.

Group bookings
Schools
Active, curriculum-friendly climbing excursions in a safe, supervised environment — a standout day out that builds confidence, resilience and teamwork, with all equipment provided.
A school excursion with a difference
Climbing is a natural fit for HPE and personal-development outcomes — students set goals, manage challenge and support each other, all while being active. Our qualified staff run the session end to end so teachers can step back or join in.
Sessions are tailored to the age group and class size, covering bouldering and (where suitable) auto-belay rope climbing, with a full safety briefing to start.
At a glance
✓ Qualified supervision throughout
✓ All climbing equipment provided
✓ Suitable for a range of ages & abilities
✓ Waivers completed online before the visit
Why schools choose us

Teamwork & trust
Encouraging and spotting each other builds communication and a supportive group dynamic.
Safe & structured
Trained staff, thorough briefings and a controlled indoor environment — rain, hail or shine.

Checklists, maintenance, incident forms and stock counts are now saved to the gym’s shared database, not just to this device. Watch the status chip next to “On shift”: Synced means it has reached the server. If it reads Saved on this device or Offline, the entry is safely queued and will send itself as soon as the connection is back — nothing is lost, and nothing needs re-entering.
Filing an incident or hazard form also emails it to [email protected]. The maintenance log, history and stock counts are shared across every device — what the floor iPad files shows up here, and the other way round. Tap the chip any time to refresh. Keep printing or saving each filed report as a PDF for the paper WHS file until we’ve confirmed reports are arriving — WHS records must be kept for five years.

Emergency procedures
In any emergency: stay calm, keep yourself safe, call for the duty manager. Life-threatening → call 000 first.
- Ensure the area is safe; do not move a fallen climber unless in danger.
- Send for the on-shift first-aider & first-aid kit.
- Call 000 if serious. Assign someone to meet the ambulance.
- Log it in the incident report before end of shift.
- Raise the alarm; call 000.
- Direct everyone to the nearest exit & the Bolsover St assembly point.
- Sweep toilets & training zone if safe.
- Take the sign-in list; do a head count. Do not re-enter.
- Clear the fall zone & reassure the climber.
- Check responsiveness & for spinal signs — keep them still.
- Escalate to first-aider; call 000 if needed.
- Isolate the wall / auto-belay until inspected.
Incident & hazard reporting

The public site re-colours itself automatically on awareness days — a two-colour change, same layout. Leave this on Automatic. Use the override to force a theme on this device/screen — handy for the café screen, or to preview a day before it lands.
Key dates & occasions
Australian national days, awareness campaigns and celebrations — for in-gym events and the special-occasion brand theme.
Variable dates shown for 2026 — confirm each year; cultural & religious observances move annually.

Branding & social
Every brand and social component in one place — open a card to work with it.
Navy & orange palette, Barlow Condensed + Archivo, logo files, usage rules and The Pocket Café sub-brand.
36 photo posts with shot concepts, captions and CTAs — three a week.
The same 36 messages set in type on solid brand colour — no photography needed.

1640 × 624 page banner — drop in a photo and screenshot it for the page.
The gym
Fern Green is social-media only for now — not on the website. Never place it directly against Rocky Orange; pair it with navy, white or cream. Orange stays the only button colour.
Barlow Condensed · SemiBold 600 · uppercase · headlines, nav, buttons (hero uses 700)
Archivo carries every line of body copy, form labels and navigation text — regular 400 and 600 only.

Monogram = RK (Rocky) + CB (Climbing Bouldering). Never stretch, recolour or add effects; keep clear space of one arrow-width all round.
Sub-brand
- Campfire mark (white) on navy, always paired with the words The Pocket Café.
- Light Orange #FFB55E is the café's accent on navy — eyebrows, small highlights. Buttons stay Rocky Orange.
- No separate palette, no serif, no second logo system. Barlow Condensed caps and Archivo, exactly as the gym.
- Solid colour behind type — no photographic backgrounds on café artwork.
Nav item, the café band on the home page, the café page, Functions & Events, gift-card copy and in-café menus.

Staff PINs
Give each person their own PIN. It signs them in here and on both iPads, and puts their name on every checklist, maintenance entry and incident report they file — which is what makes the records stand up.
{{ pinForName }}
Choose something they will remember but nobody could guess — not their birth year, not 1234. Tell them in person; it is stored scrambled and can never be read back, only replaced.
{{ pinOk }}
{{ pinMsg }}
How staff use it
Here, leave the username blank and type the PIN. On either iPad, type it on the keypad instead of the shared terminal PIN — it unlocks and picks their name in one step.
When someone leaves
Remove their PIN here the same day. Everything they filed stays in the records under their name — removing a PIN only stops future sign-ins.
The shared logins
They still work while PINs are being handed out, but records signed that way say “shared login” instead of a name. Once everyone has a PIN, ask for the shared passwords to be switched off.
Directors & managers only
Updating the website
How a change gets from an idea to the live site: ask Claude, check it, download the file, upload it with GitHub Desktop, deploy on Heroku, then check rockyclimb.com.
The Directors decide who has access
It is up to the Directors to decide who has access to Claude, who may upload to GitHub, and who may deploy on Heroku. They are three separate permissions and none of them comes automatically with a role or a job title.
Don’t share logins, don’t sign anyone else in, and don’t request access for someone else — ask a Director, who grants, changes or withdraws it.
Ask Claude for the change
Say which page, which part of it, and the exact new wording. For hours, list every day — including the closed ones — and finish with “update these times everywhere they appear and keep them in step”.
Check the preview (including at phone width), then ask for the updated files to upload.
Upload with GitHub Desktop
- Click Fetch origin, and Pull if offered.
- Repository → Show in Finder.
- Drag the downloaded file in and choose Replace — same name, same folder.
- Check the changed-files list matches what Claude said.
- Write a summary, Commit to main, then Push origin.
Deploy on Heroku
Open the app at dashboard.heroku.com and check Activity — the push usually starts a build on its own. If not, Deploy → Manual deploy → branch main → Deploy Branch.
Wait for “Build succeeded”, then check the live site in a private window. Never touch Config Vars, buildpacks or domains.
Roll back, then ask
Heroku → Activity → the last good deploy → Roll back to here. That puts the site back in seconds.
Then tell Claude what you saw — which page, which device, a screenshot if you have one. Don’t hand-edit files on GitHub to patch it.
Worth knowing
Hidden files. Some website files start with a dot and macOS hides them, so a copy skips them and GitHub Desktop reports “nothing to commit”. Press ⌘ + Shift + full stop in Finder to show them.
Stale downloads. Always use the file from that same conversation. Re-uploading last week’s copy quietly puts the old site back.
Directors sign these off
Prices, memberships, opening-hours changes that affect members, anything on the Terms, Privacy, Safety or Accessibility pages, and any new page or menu item. Those are business decisions, not website jobs.

{{ floorHeading }}
{{ floorSub }}
Add it to the home screen
- Open Safari on the iPad — it has to be Safari, not Chrome.
- Go to {{ floorUrl }}
- Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Name it {{ floorAppName }} and tap Add.
It opens full screen with no browser bars, so it behaves like a normal app.
Lock it to the one app
- Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access → turn on.
- Set a passcode only managers know.
- Open {{ floorAppName }}, then triple-click the top button to lock it in.
- Triple-click and enter the passcode to unlock.
Also set Display & Brightness → Auto-Lock → Never so the counter screen stays awake.
How staff use it
Enter the PIN, then tap your name. Everything filed after that is tagged with whoever was picked, so the audit trail holds up.
Three key areas: the daily checklist, the maintenance log, and incident and hazard reporting. The roster is there to read, not to edit.
Worth knowing
Everything filed on the terminal now saves to the gym’s shared database as well as the iPad. The chip in the top bar reads Synced once it has reached the server; Offline means it is queued and will send itself when the connection returns.
Each screen still lists what was filed on that device. Keep printing or saving filed reports as PDFs for the paper WHS file until reports are confirmed arriving — records have to be kept five years.
