reborn in 2022
For over 30 years Cliffhanger has provided a unique indoor rock climbing experience. Boasting the tallest indoor climbing wall in Australia, the facility is an iconic destination and home away from home for much of Melbourne's passionate climbing community.
2022 marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the facility. The walls were upgraded, lead facilities improved and hold selection expanded bringing the gym up to date with state of the art facilities.
