Faultline Climbing Gym

Wellington's newest Climbing Gym and Community Space!
Located at 235 Willis Street
Opening February 2024

OUR STORY

Quality, not quantity

We have made quality our habit. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.

Updates!

Climbing walls are finished and ready. We are preparing the final touches on the property. Fingers crossed for an opening in Mid Feb.

Wellington is in desperate need of more space to climb

Where?

235 Willis Street between Vivian and Ghuznee Streets.

What?

An incredible boulder-only facility of a magnitude that Wellington has never seen before.

Quality and quantity

With modern wall shapes and beautiful holds from around the world, we'll be able to sculpt climbing routes like never before.

This new space will have three times the bouldering area that HangDog has.

Now we're making the dream a reality.

Here is the floor plan to get an idea of what the space will look like

  • The bottom left is the Transformer room from HangDog for scale.

  • The blue arrows are the main entrances.

  • The green is the padding.

  • At the bottom there is training area with possibly a spray wall, or kilter board, or some other similar system.

  • The ceiling in the area with no climbing walls is too low. That’s where we can have stretching areas and other low height activities.

  • We’ve carefully shaped the walls to have safe and spacious climbing, standing, and sitting areas.

  • It’s HUGE!

a world-class gym

We are offering a 'First-Ascent' membership deal for people who want to help me make this a world-class facility. World-class means great holds and great wall design.

We can definitely do basic, but we don't want basic - we want to build the best - but we need your support.

We need the best holds..

To be the best

Questions

Bottom line is.. we are flexible. We can suit your needs. The only thing we can't do is refund your money immediately. If, for whatever reason, you need the money back, we are happy to give it to you. But you may have to wait until the business is profitable.

Can I give this as a present?

Yes, great idea. Hey Jo, for your Birthday, I got a you an epic boulder gym!

What happens to my current HangDog membership?

Your current membership will stop when the new facility opens.

What happens to my current 10 trip?

We can add the remaining value of you 10 trip to the new membership.

Can I support the project, but still climb at HangDog?

Yes. You can buy an FA membership for HangDog. We'll be able to use that money for the Willis Street Project.

When will the membership start?

On opening day, we are trending towards our opening day being mid February as we are just waiting on Council Permits to be able to open.

Can I pause the membership?

Yes, we can pause the membership for up to two years.

What if I don't like the new space?

We provide a money back guarantee. We can give you your money back if you don't use your membership. But you may have to wait until we can afford it.

Can I transfer the membership?

Yes, you’ll be able to give the membership to someone else.

What if I need the money back?

If your circumstances change, we will do our best to return the money to you. BUT we can’t guarantee that we will have the money to return immediately. Therefore, you may have to wait until the business has suitable income.

Once we are cash-positive, we’ll gladly give the money back.

How old can children be?

At this point, the minimum age will be 10 years old.

But if you buy your child a First-Ascent membership now, we'll allow your child as long as they are over 9.
