FAQ's

Climbing has grown in popularity over recent years. It’s a sport in which you work your body and mind by solving problems every time you climb. There are no two sessions alike. It involves a combination of strength, flexibility and cardio. Basically, the best answer is another question: why not?
It’s climbing without ropes. The goal is to climb as many blocks as possible with the fewest attempts. But mostly, to have fun. Different blocks are divided by levels, and you should use the holds of the same colour to get to the top. It’s a game where you only play against yourself. Maybe that’s why it’s so addictive.
Climbing can be a dangerous sport. The responsible guardian must supervise the child (max. 3 children) at all times, in order to ensure their safety and safety of other climbers. We provide free climbing shoes to the guardian and encourage you to be part of your child’s experience. Many parents end up trying themselves and enjoying it. There’s no age limit to learn (:
Climbing is not all about arms. In fact, it involves plenty of legs, flexibility, dynamics, and technique. And some strength, yes, but not just that.
Anyone from the age of 4 can use our dedicated children’s area. From the age of 13, you can start climbing any wall you wish. Climbing is one of the most inclusive sports, whatever your age. Talk to us.
Come in appropriate sportwear that allows you to comfortably move around and that is not too tight. Don’t forget to bring a pair of socks in case you want to rent our shoes. Or even better, bring your own.
No, but we are quite central and close to trains and buses. You’ll get here in a sec.
Not necessarily, just come by and get ready to climb. Unless you are a big group, in that case, and just to be safe, contact us.
