We’re so back… Your monthly updates, all in one place.
Hello reader, it’s Billy here with an exciting message: the newsletter is here. Eager to stay in the loop with all things Highball? Read on and spread the good word.
Throughout August, we’re open from 10am on Monday’s. That’s 10am-10pm every weekday. Our weekend hours will remain at 8am-6pm.
(From Monday 7th September, we’ll revert back to opening at 12pm!)
There’ll be 30 Boulders set around the centre, the griller boys back on the BBQ, tunes pumping, The Forearms flowing & raffle tickets on entry. We’d love to see you there!
This is round 1 of 3 in our Flash Social Series, taking place over Aug-Oct. Aimed at those climbing grades 5 and below, this series is a more easy-going style of competition climbing. To be considered for the finals in October, you will need to have submitted your scores in at least 2 of the 3 rounds.
PS: If you know you’re coming, please book in advance to help us estimate how much food we need to prep!
We’ll be firing up the oven and slinging out Sourdough Pizzas from the garden on Friday 14th & 28th of August! Indulge in wood-fired goodness, the perfect post-climb treat.
We’re running these nights as a chance to train up our very own a pizza chef, Wilson! So come & grab yourself a deal…
OFFER: Buy a pint and get 50% off your pizza OR buy 1 pizza, get 50% off your 2nd.

There’ll be tips, tricks, coaching, encouragement, and the chance to meet other new climbers.
