THE FA EXPERIENCE

A labour of love, build by the hand of Fa and the community – Friends and Allies is built to be a home away from home for our community.

All our psych and energy was poured into creating the perfect space for you and your tjoms to send and chill. From the Terminator-focussed plastic puller to the “hard-working” student, we’ve got space for you to get it done!

Climbing Walls

The walls are where the magic happens – providing our community with a world-class training facility. Friends and Allies has a large bouldering section with a variety of angles, from slabby to overhung.

There is also our iconic spray wall and a 2016 Moonboard with original holds. The best feature of the gym is the main bouldering wall, inspired by IFSC Comps, this wall brings the quality of international climbing to SA’s doorstep.

Lounges & Bar Area

The stresses of modern life often find us bouncing between two spaces – home and work. The critically important “third space” is missing from many peoples lives.

It is in this space where we connect with our community, relax, communicate and have fun. Our lounge and bar create the perfect environment to unwind and touch base with your tjommies.

Dedicated Training Zone

When looking  to taking your climbing to the next level you can’t rely on climbing alone. When the time comes to put on your headphones and power through a hangboarding session we’ll be right beside you.

Our fully equipped gym and hangboard area ensures that your conditioning outside of climbing with stay on course with your climbing goals.

Loft Workspace

The psych to send it high, but you might still
have an email or two to squeeze out. For many climbers it’s more of a lifestyle than a hobby.


For the digital nomads out there who want to train and earn petrol money we’ve built a lekker loft for you to climb when you’ve got to get some work done. Dial into that Wifi and get on it!

Yoga Studio

Movement is an essential part of our being,
and the more you move the more your body allows.

Omsight Yoga Studio is the place to move, flow, breathe and Om yourself into your best, centred self.

Secure Parking

Jozi is what it is, love it or hate it. We want you
to feel fully calm and focused on your climbing session, not worried about if your car is still
there waiting for you.

With one hundred secured parking bays you can enjoy your session with
a laser focus on the walls and nothing else.
