The Lactic Factory is Melbourne, and Australia's first dedicated, bouldering-only climbing gym. Located in Abbotsford, we host Melbourne's bouldering community by offering great routes and atmosphere to train in, all close to public transport. The Lactic Factory is open 5 days a week (see below for opening hours), where there are facilities for storing bicycles and gear, with drinks and snacks available while training along with a comfy place to chill out!

To speed things up you can download and fill in your waiver and registration forms before you arrive at The Lactic Factory, remember Under 18's need both forms signed by parents or guardians! Click here for prices.
