Pulse Climbing

Friendly relaxed staff that were informative and helpful.
Great walls for beginners and pros

Good facility and clean complex with good range of climbing walls with knowledgeable staff and decent equipment however, I don't believe Pulse Adamstown is welcoming for young kids. I have been to Pulse a number of times in the past without kids which I didn't have any issue. We decided to go on a Saturday where I had a family friend bring a 5 year old child that has mild to complex autism which can be very difficult to handle at times. The staff on this occasion were not very friendly, no smile or enthusiasm and weren't very accommodating unfortunately, we were told the rules in a stern way a number of times which gave us a hint we were more of a burden than a customer. We felt shunted off the bouldering wall as our friends child started to play up a little. We were told to leave the mat if we weren't climbing where it was quite obvious I was trying to assist controlling a difficult child. I was wondering why the complex is so empty on Saturday with no other kids in sight.
Once we were left alone without having eyes on us constantly we managed to have a fun time. I would have preferred some empathy towards our situation at the time without having to spell out that our family friends child has a disability. I'm sure this won't be a problem in the future as I have brought this issue to your attention. Not sure, if I would feel inclined or recommend coming back with young children.

Pulse is OK. No other choice in Newcastle for roped gym climbing.
Reasonable selection of top rope climbs, two small bouldering areas and a small gym area. I always have good chats with the friendly staff and I've purchased gear from their small climbing shop.
But overall it leaves a lot to be desired. Old ropes, annoying belay device setup, and no lead climbing to name a few.

Friendly staff, fun activities and a great place for the children to visit during school holidays to keep fit and engaged

It's not the biggest indoor climbing gym but it has a good range of climbs, is well set out and has friendly staff which all makes for a great experience.

Really good range of rock features to suit all abilities. The staff are great and help to advise you when they can.

This place is awesome, lots of variety, and great staff. They have top rope climbing with partner belay (not auto belay), a variety of bouldering and also a gym area up stairs. They have an easy beginners wall to learn the ropes. They also have a gear store and gear hire too!

Great atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful. Biggest thing is that beginners always feel welcomed. I love this place.

Good selection of beginner suited walls alongside plenty of more challenging ones. Staff were professional, friendly and safety conscious.

Great people and fun atmosphere. If you are interested in rock climbing I would highly recommend this place.

Great place. Really friendly staff. Everything you need to climb is supplied, and is very fairly priced.

Great place to climb or boulder. Super friendly staff. You can bring your own gear or hire from the front desk. Also heaps of gear to purchase.

Realllly friendly staff, who are happy to help any level of climber. It's a good facility and their hire equipment is good quality.

Kids loved it! My teenage kids said this place is the best! It's done so that they don't need a harness or ropes - there is very thick padding on the floor so if you fall it doesn't matter. We have gone a dew times now and will definitely be going again.

Great climbs, friendly and helpful staff, Reasonably cheap, Great atmosphere. Can be hard to determine different routes due to some holds discolouration due to use. Otherwise fantastic.

Staff are friendly and there is a great community to be found in going here. Climbs are updated regularly and are suitable for people on many different levels. Only downside is often quite busy and crowded.

Cosy city gym. The top rope wall is on the shorter side, and the boulder area is also rather small. Creative route setting however compensates for limitations of the space.

Chilled out vibe. Challenging climbs. Good mix of top rope and bouldering. Friendly expert staff

Very friendly and helpful staff. Walls to suit all levels of ability. Lots of challenging walls to climb. Small snack section for boosting energy. Clean restrooms with plenty to space to get changed. Equipment and clothing for sale here as well.

Great place and people. Memberships are very expensive for a climbing gym however there is no other options in the area.
