Step-by-step bouldering

Let's start

To go bouldering, you must be at least 8 years old (under parental supervision), or at least 12 years old (without supervision). Getting started is very easy. You don't need a certification, which means you can start bouldering straight away.

If it's your very first time, we'll explain the basic rules of bouldering and safety, show you how to get started, and give you a few tips. Once you've done your first boulder tops, you'll be hooked.

What is bouldering?

Bouldering is a fast-growing and social climbing style. Climbers do not use ropes or harnesses, but are protected by thick crash pads.

No special equipment is needed, making it easy to walk in and get started straight away. It's challenging, athletic, builds your strength and confidence, and above all, it's a lot of fun.

What can you expect?

The Island is one of the newest and most modern bouldering gyms in the Benelux, with around 200 boulders across all levels (2 to 8A+). Every week, we set 40 new boulders, ensuring it always remains challenging. Our experienced route-setting team, which also sets for national competitions, devises creative routes for every level. Even if it's your very first time, you can reach the top.

Do I need experience?

You are always free to start on your own, but we also offer a variety of courses. Whether you are an experienced climber or have just started, we have the course that will help you improve your climbing.

We also offer special packages for children's parties, corporate outings and schools. See our ‘groups’ page for more information.

Is it safe?

Bouldering is the safest form of indoor climbing. The maximum wall height is “only” 4.5 metres, and the floor is covered with thick mats.

As with any sport, there are always certain risks involved. If you'd like to know more, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
