16 Rock Climbing & Bouldering Gyms In SG Suitable Even For Beginners To Channel Spiderman At

Rock climbing & bouldering gyms in Singapore


We’ve used and abused our running shoes and tried to head to the gym more times than we could count – but when those fitness sessions don’t work out, you know it’s time to try something new. If you’re looking to burn fat and obtain that lean physique, then rock climbing or bouldering could be the answer to your dream bod prayers.

From augmented reality (AR) climbing walls, to transparent ones that’ll have you climbing face-to-face with your friends, and climbing gyms with free yoga classes, here are some rock climbing and bouldering gyms to check out.


What’s the difference between rock climbing & bouldering?



Bouldering walls at boulder+ Aperia Mall.

In short, the difference between rock climbing and bouldering is the height. Bouldering is what a lot of beginners in Singapore start with, simply because it seems a lot less intimidating. The walls are a lot shorter and you won’t need to deal with equipment like ropes and harnesses.


Rock climbing at Climb Central i12 Katong.

Rock climbing, on the other hand, requires you to scale a much higher wall that can be up to 3 to 4 storeys tall. You’ll be attached to a secure rope and harness on one end, with a belayer on the other end to catch you if you fall. If you don’t have a buddy to climb with, some gyms also have auto-belay systems, which is a machine that replaces a human belayer.

2. Boulder+


Has a 60° overhang & top out wall


boulder+ is where you can attempt to conquer the top out wall and get a feel of what it’s like to climb outdoors. For the uninitiated, this type of wall has climbers making their way over the wall and completing the course at the top.

Once you’re done conquering “Mt. Everest”, head over to the 60-degree overhang wall for some vertical hangs. You’ll see a variety of routes with different difficulty levels, so both new and veteran climbers can try their hand at completing them.

3. Z Vertigo


Affordable rates from $12/day for youths


Tucked away in Bukit Timah Shopping Centre is Z Vertigo, a big favourite amongst the pros. But that’s not to say that beginners should avoid this gym as it features a tonne of lower-level routes too. They also have fingerboards and hangboards if you’d like to train your finger strength and resistance.

While the space is slightly smaller, gym entries are uber affordable – youths born after 2007 can score passes at $12/pax and adult passes are priced at just $17/pax. Plus, the place is just a short 4-minute walk from Beauty World MRT so you also save on some transport fees.

4. BFF Climb


Beginner-friendly routes & kids corner



There’s also a slide for kids to whiz down at the Play Zone (right).

We know, we know. It can be pretty daunting climbing these high walls, especially when you’re bouldering with no harness. Those afraid of heights can visit BFF Climb instead as the gym has shorter walls that are beginner-friendly.

Kiddos can also have fun at the Play Zone, where there are mini routes and a foam pit for them to jump into. No minimum age is required – children just need to be at least 11kg. And good news for all Easties as BFF Climb has a relatively new outlet in Tampines, just a 3-minute walk away from Tampines MRT.

The gym also has 8 lead climbing lanes.

Upwall Climbing is where top rope climbers will thrive as there are 15 auto belay and 10 top rope lanes to check out. For those unfamiliar with climbing terms, top rope climbing is where climbers will don a harness to scale higher walls. Top rope lanes require an extra person to belay as a form of support, while auto belay routes use a machine instead.

Apart from having a good range of route difficulties, Upwall also has kid-friendly routes complete with animal-shaped holds that will make things extra fun for the youngins. And, for those who love documenting their climbs, you’ll be pleased to know that the giant windows around the gym let in a tonne of natural sunlight so your lighting will be slay.

180-degree bouldering wall



Image credit: @popiahboy via Instagram

Oyeyo Boulder Home is a cosy bouldering gym with walls standing at 3m. It’s pretty small so there won’t be too many people – great if you’re a newbie who doesn’t want 100 people staring as you fall like a coconut from a tree. But if you’re a seasoned climber, go straight for their 180-degree climbing wall that’ll have you climbing like spiderman on steroids.


Image credit: @oyeyoboulderhome via Instagram

There’s a one-time registration fee of $10, and 1-day entry pass priced at $18 – not inclusive of equipment. If you’ve made bouldering your new personality, you can also purchase a bundle, starting from $80 for 5 entry passes.

Once you’re done conquering the wall, head to Owl’s Brew next door. It’s a small bar which you can knock back with some drinks at after a good climb sesh.

(Closed) The Rock School


Tucked away at Our Tampines Hub, The Rock School, is an open-air gym. No worries, it’s sheltered so you’ll be able to climb rain or shine.

(Closed) Clip n’ Climb


Far from your regular climbing gym, Clip n’ Climb at HomeTeamNS Tampines has 19 climbing walls so wacky, you’ll forget you’re actually there to exercise.
Image credit: @chasing320 via Instagram 
Perfect for the young and young at heart, each wall presents a different vertical challenge that will require a mixture of brain and brawn to conquer. The more outrageous ones look like strands of DNA and our favourite Tetris game.


(Closed) Upside Boulders



Image credit: @upsideboulders via Instagram 

Upside Boulders is a bouldering gym that’s probably one of Hougang’s best-kept secrets. The bouldering space is pretty small, giving a cosy and intimate environment.


(Closed) Climbers Laboratory



Image credit: @climberslabrotary via Instagram 

An AR climbing experience you can get is at Climbers Laboratory, which provides more challenging routes for adults. They definitely don’t compromise on the fun though, because you can expect to climb walls with quirky cartoon characters or lego bricks.


(Closed) Let ‘em Play


If you and your crew love a little competition and are always looking for new activities to partake in, then Let ’em Play will be your ultimate playground. The augmented reality (AR) climbing wall is the star of the show here, putting a futuristic spin on our usual ones.

It uses projected graphics to create games and challenges to compete with your friends – whoever grabs hold of the most climbing grips in a set amount of time wins!


Image credit: @letemplaysg via Instagram 

Besides the AR climbing wall, there are 5 other walls for you to try out such as a giraffe- and tree-themed one. There’s also a two-storey high indoor high elements obstacle course that’s suitable for both kids and adults.


What are some tips for rock climbing & bouldering beginners?


Welcome to the sport, youngin. In all honesty, rock climbing is a world of fun, but it’s also not a sport that’s easy on the wallet. 1-day passes often exceed $20, which can be pretty pricey compared to say, a gym membership. But there are some clever ways for you to get cheaper per-entry cost.

A lot of gyms offer multi-passes that can be shared amongst friends for better rates. You should also always look out for first-timer promotions when visiting a new gym.

Finally, our recommendation is to get a set of your own climbing shoes – and harness, if you do rock climbing – early on in the hobby to save in the long run. More details can be found in our article on affordable climbing equipment.


Best rock climbing gyms in Singapore

Conquering a wall and getting to the top is a feeling unlike any other. Aside from that, you’ll be burning a whooping 600-900 calories rock climbing compared to the 500 calories you’ll burn running for an hour. And with plenty of routes and walls to conquer, you can be sure that 1 hour won’t be enough.
