Absolutely! Everyone at Rhino was a first timer at some point, and we’re always excited to welcome new climbers. Our space is designed to be beginner-friendly, and our community is genuinely supportive—no pressure, no judgment. Whether you’re figuring it out or just here to have a go, you’ll fit right in. And if you need help, our team’s always around.
Not at all. Many people climb solo and love it—it’s their time to focus, unwind, and move mindfully. But if you’re keen to meet others, Rhino’s the perfect place. Our community is friendly and open, and we run regular Adult Social and Women’s+ Social nights designed for exactly that. Whether you want company or quiet, you’ll feel right at home.
You don’t need to be super fit or strong to get going! We have over 200 boulder problems throughout the centre ranging in difficulty, so there’s something for everyone regardless of your level of experience, that’s the beauty of climbing!
If you’re keen to avoid the busier periods, we recommend visiting on weekday mornings or early afternoons—especially before 4pm. Weekends and evenings tend to be more popular, but there’s always space to find your own pace. And if you’ve got any questions while you’re here, our staff are always happy to help.
Boulder problems are colour coded routes to guide you up the wall and elicit specific climbing movement. These vary in difficulty (or grades) and are carefully designed by our route setters to be challenging and fun!
We use our own grading system. See the grade conversion charts in our centre for comparison to Font or V grades!
No! We also have a warming café where you can sit comfortably and enjoy snacks & drinks (and beer!) when you are not climbing! You are also welcome to bring your laptop and do any work in there as we have a fully setup CoWorking space with meeting rooms and phone booths! We have an equipped gym and offer training workshops too.
