Clean sports shoes

Preferably with a light sole, in any case not outdoor shoes (proper climbing shoes can be rented for just €4.50).

Sportswear

Climbing uses your whole body, so naturally you'll want to move comfortably in your clothes.

Beginner level up to 6A (Pink to Purple)

No experience needed. Our routes are specially designed for beginners and light climbers. From pink to purple, you'll find a challenge at your level without it being overwhelming.

Min. 6 – max. 10 participants

A group that's just big enough to be cosy, and small enough to give everyone the attention they deserve. That way, everyone climbs well and it stays safe.

Anyone can go bouldering! You can do it on your own or with friends. Feel free to pop in. We'll be happy to help you get started.

Bouldering is the safest form of indoor climbing. The maximum height of the walls is ‘only’ 4.5 metres and the floor is covered with thick mats. As with any sport, there are, of course, always some risks involved. If you would like to know more about this, please feel free to contact us.

Actually, you only need comfortable clothes and trainers. For extra grip on the wall, we recommend renting climbing shoes from us. These are available at reception for €4.50.

Bouldering is a fast-growing and social style of climbing. In bouldering, climbers do not use ropes or harnesses, but are protected by thick crash mats. Therefore, no special equipment is required for bouldering, making it easy to drop by and get started. It is challenging, athletic, increases your strength and confidence, and is above all great fun.

No, everyone is welcome to come climbing! An instructor will climb with you for 2 hours and give you tips & tricks.

Certainly not. You can always choose how high you want to climb – and how you climb down. For example, there are also extra easy holds placed here and there – large descent holds. Furthermore, our specially designed beginner routes are built so that you don't have to climb all the way to the top. This way, you can learn bouldering safely and easily and gain a lot of confidence.
