Portside Boulders Osborne Park - abseiling and canyoning in Perth

Portside Boulders Osborne Park (Osborne Park)4.7 (212)

From $20pp

A bouldering gym on Walters Drive in Osborne Park with social and coached group sessions for work teams, sports clubs and groups of mates.

Choosing a Guided Adventure Day

Climbing in the Northern Suburbs centres on Osborne Park, where Portside Boulders Osborne Park runs a bouldering gym on Walters Drive. Bouldering uses short walls above deep padded mats instead of ropes and harnesses, so this is the rope-free end of the category rather than a descent down a cliff.

Sessions are built for work teams, sports clubs and groups of friends, and the gym does not host parties of any kind.

What a group gets at the Osborne Park gym:

Social bouldering for six to 30 people aged 16 and over, from $20 per person.
Every booking covers gym entry plus hire shoes, chalk and a short safety briefing.
For a structured start, a Portside coach can lead the first hour with technique pointers, team challenges and small contests.
Hungry climbers can add a pizza deal from the gym's cafe: half a pizza each, with hot drinks thrown in.
Send the request seven or more days out; the gym confirms after settling the date and headcount with you.

Because the walls are set for first-timers through to competition climbers, a mixed-ability team can climb side by side.

The setting is fully indoor, so the outing does not hang on the weather.
A group under six falls below the booking minimum, and anyone under 16 cannot join a social session.
Take the coached hour if most of the group has never climbed; everyone keeps climbing freely once it finishes.
Beyond group sessions, the gym runs yoga and strength classes and has a resident climbing physio on set days.

Questions to settle before booking Portside

Lock in a final headcount, since the session is priced per climber and capped at 30.
Decide early whether you want the coach-led hour or a free climb from the start.
Ask about the pizza and hot drinks option if the outing runs over a meal time.
Allow at least a week's notice, as requests need seven days to be confirmed.
