The Yonder Highball

Why did we make a highball?

We’ve spent some time making these videos to help share the vision!

LAUNCH DATE : 21st March

Experience the thrill of the heights—without the risk. 

Every Friday at Yonder, we’re bringing the raw excitement of outdoor highball bouldering - indoors. Complete with a range of epic routes, and a massive airbag for a safe landing, we’re inviting climbers of all levels to push their boundaries. 

Discover the adrenaline, freedom, and the unparalleled climbing experience of Highball at Yonder. Whether it’s your first ascent or your latest project, we’re here to support your journey. 

SESSION Types

  • Ready to conquer the 8m Highball at Yonder?

    This 1 hour induction focuses on the key safety aspects of climbing the Highball and is a requirement for any climber wanting to use this feature. During the Induction our Yonder coach will teach you how to fall safely and give you key tips to focus the mind so you can climb higher!

    This one hour induction will run through how to safely use the Highball, including how to fall appropriately onto the airbag. Our Coach will describe and demonstrate the procedures and then it's your turn to practise!

    In order to pass the induction you must show you can competently fall from the 4 metre height and above. (2 safety falls)

    Once the safety elements are covered, you will have the rest of your session to take on the routes.

    These inductions are to ready you to hit the open sessions full steam ahead where we can let you all get stuck in and really play with it!

  • For the time being we will be prioritising HighBall Inductions so we can get as many people inducted as soon as possible.

    You must have completed an induction to partake in the open sessions.

    Starting with a slow release, the Inductions are just a starting point towards creating opportunity where you will be ready to hit the open sessions full steam ahead where we can let you all get stuck in and really play!

    We want to work alongside you, as the customers, to make sure it is not something intrusive and so that you can get as much use out of it as you possibly can so we are going to let it take shape with the feedback we get. That at the moment is going to look like a few events that we already have programmed in, a members only lock-in to watch out for the way the space is used, and then following with consistent open sessions during our opening hours.

    Keep coming to us with your feedback and keep the good times rolling!
