Wade
Wade has been importing mobile rock-climbing walls in Australia since 2007, honing his skills through years of experience in a variety of rock climbing roles. He has a deep desire to bring out the best in people by empowering them to grow and achieve even more than they thought they were capable of. Wade is the co-founder of Discovery Climbing and oversees the delivery of our Spectrum Sports climbing projects. With extensive experience in logistics, installation coordination and product specification, he ensures each Spectrum project runs smoothly from freight to final fit-off.
AJ
AJ, our head rock climbing wall installer, is truly a celebrity of the Australian climbing scene! He leads the team for the Inspection and Certification of Artificial Climbing Walls. AJ is like a climbing Swiss Army knife—able to whip out technical moves, rope skills, and beautiful knots at a moment’s notice. AJ is Discovery Climbing’s lead installer and the craftsman behind many of our Australian-made climbing walls. With extensive experience in construction, safety systems and on-site installation, he brings precision, reliability and a strong focus on compliance to every project. AJ works closely with schools and project teams to ensure each climbing wall is built safely, efficiently and to the highest standard.
Leo
With over 20 years of climbing-wall design experience, Leo brings world-class creativity, technical precision and a deep passion for climbing to the Discovery Climbing team. Leo has designed more than 100 climbing walls worldwide — from schools and commercial gyms to competition-level structures featured at IFSC World Cup and World Games events. A lifelong climber and route setter, Leo blends artistic vision with real-world climbing experience. His background spans 3D modelling, industrial design, product development and visualisation, using industry-leading tools such as 3ds Max, Modo, Rhino, and SolidWorks.
Michaelee
Michaelee runs our socials from a little cottage in Hobart, Tasmania. Having spent most of her 20’s on climbing walls, she discovered her passion for problem solving and testing new ideas, which is also how she approaches social media and digital strategy. When not at the climbing gym, you’ll find her out on a hiking trail in Tasmania, or (attempting to) grow a veggie garden.
Bella
Bella, our Content Writing Queen, has had a million and one jobs, but her true loves will always be writing and rock climbing. She is passionate about helping people, building genuine connections, and having her work change the world for the better. Bella has been climbing since she could walk and can usually be found trying to persuade people to go out to a crag with her or scouring library shelves for a book she hasn’t read yet.
Our dedicated and experienced team love climbing, and we want to share this passion with the world. Get thinking about your new project and send us a message, call, or email to discuss your next project.
