What is bouldering about?
Bouldering is a type of climbing where you don't need ropes to practice it. But don't worry, falls are safe! Under the walls, which are no higher than 4.5 meters, there are crash mats that will soften your fall.

Bouldering is athletic, challenging, fun and social. Come over to try, and you'll see you'll want more!
Do I need to bring any special equipment?

Do you rent climbing shoes?
Yes: We've got TENAYA climbing shoes for you to rent: they're perfect for your first times at the gym or if you'd like to invite friends over to try out; however, it's always better to have your own pair of shoes, which you can buy at our shop.
