Getting started

What is Bouldering?

Bouldering is climbing shorter walls without ropes or harnesses, using only climbing shoes and a crash pad for safety. It’s all about solving fun movement “puzzles” and reaching the top with your own strength and technique.

What is Top Rope?

Top rope is climbing with a rope that’s secured from above, so you’re always safely supported. A belayer on the ground keeps you secure — making it the best way for beginners to start climbing.

What is Lead climbing?

Lead climbing means clipping the rope as you climb instead of having it already secured from above. It’s the next step after top rope — perfect for climbers who want more challenge and adventure.

Do I need to have experience to climb?

No! Beginners are always welcome — our team will guide you through everything you need to know.

What do I need to bring on my first visit?

Just bring yourself!

You’ll also need an ID card or passport for registration, you might need a pair of socks and a water bottle — we’ve got a free refill station ready. Wear something comfy that lets you move easily.

Is there an age limit?
