There isn't one.
In the past there has been a commercially operated one, and subsequent to that a 'club' one; however both no longer exist (other than in the form of someones 'home woodie').

Best you contact local climbers (possibly through the local outdoor stores), and learn on real rock.

Thanks 4 that I was actually wanting to do outdoor climbing all along but its seeming to be hard to get into, so I figured I could try out indoor climbing while Im trying to get into the reel thing. Ive been to an outdoor adventure place in albury where I met climbau and got alot of info from him to do with rock climbing, he was really helpful. Ive emailed climbau about going climbing sometime soon.

Next time climbau and myself are going to Mt Pilot I shall try to remember to let you know beforehand so that you can join us if you like.
For my part this is not likely to happen till late July.

Hey Alex,
Since we managed to stop you turning blue; how about submitting a trip report to that section of this Forum? It would be refreshing for us old/er bumblies to see the game through 'brand new eyes' again!

Some info for you to build on:
The 1st climb we did was 'Auto Pilot' 12m Gd 'easy'* (* 9 in my opinion)
2nd climb we played on, was 'A Room with a View' 35m 19* (* 21 IMO)
3rd climb we did was 'Yeddonba Wall' 40m 'easy'* (* 12 IMO)

... over to you.

I'm just letting you know that I got your message and I'll be submitting a trip report on the climb tonight.

nice work A5. good to introduce the youngsters to the scene with a good trad back ground.

in my opinion "if you can place gear - its not hard to clip bolts"

Fully agree,... but brackets help! :)

Actually climbau did most of the logistics / was the 'up-front' contact. I just helped out.
