About Vertical Adventures Indoor Climbing Glen Eden
At the start of 2012, three and a half years after starting construction, stage 3 was completed. The remainder of the themed walls were built by Darrin and his apprentice in his spare time and as money allowed. A total of 31 themed walls, with automatic belay systems had been finished. The number of birthday parties soared and continues to be very popular every weekend.
2012 was also the year Darrin started the first inter-school climbing competition at Glen Eden Extreme Edge. The competition had been held at another location, but had not run for the 2 years prior . Darrin wanted something for his Hoppers to aspire too. A stepping stone to Regional and National competitions. He changed the format, adding in speed climbing, prussicking and knot tying. This proved to be very successful and has run every term since.
In the winter of 2012, Darrin introduced another first for climbing in NZ. Headlamp nights. He had been climbing and got caught on a face when the sun went down and had finished his climb using his head lamp. He was surprised how hard and different it was even with a face he knew. Now 3-4 times a year, over winter, all of the lights are turned off and patrons bring their headlamps or they can hire one. This night is always well attended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here for a birthday. Reception seemed slightly unfriendly upon arrival. There was no guidance from staff on where to start (first time) had to ask myself, it would’ve been a better experience if staff were open to helping instead of standing there. Very awkward. Kids had fun, however there needs to be improvement on customer service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome fun! Took our 5, 3 and 1.5 yr olds climbing for the first time and the older two had a blast. I also climbed for the first time in 10 or so years, thank goodness for the auto-belays. Also, an AMAZING collection of Star wars themed lego on the top level was a nice bonus. Only suggestion for improvement would be to make one or two of the fun walls more suitable for shorties like our 3yr old.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for the kids, and very safe.
Good price and open late, definitely a good workout trying to keep up with the little ones. Remember to take shoes and water bottle. Friendly helpful staff, lots of parking and tucked away in a small industrial area off the main rd in Glen Eden.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place that hasn't really changed much over the years so you know what to expect. We had our girls birthday upstairs which include the climb as well. Staff where helpfully and fully experienced. Kids had a blast would recommend going toilet 1st as its hard taking the harness off in hurry for the little ones. They have everything there for any age or experience and change the climbs up regularly on left side only. Parking out the front and also on the road. A must do experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My son loves it here! He had his birthday here before and we return as he enjoyed his time!
Bigger indoor wall climbing, so much to choose and climb.. and for a good amount of 2 hours spent, he just burns his energy and wanted to come back again..

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for ages 5+ (Younger if they're adventurous). Brought some kids ranging 6-12 and young adults 19-20 for a couple of hours and they ALL loved it! The beginner walls are close enough to keep an eye on everyone in the group but spaced enough to not be clustered and there are LOTS to choose from with varying difficulty. Workers are incredibly helpful and are great at talking to children in a way that they can understand why safety is important. Coffee is good too (bonus). 5 stars.
