Get started
Welcome as a new climber to Boulders, below is a small guide to getting started climbing on membership. We look forward to climbing with you!
Do I need to book an appointment to climb?
No! You are free to come as it suits you. If you come in a group of more than 10, we would like to know in advance.
Does membership give you access to all gyms?
Yes, as a member you have free access to all gyms in Denmark.
Can I sign up for a class?
Mostpeopleclimb on their own and with friends. Boulders offers many different types of class and workshops.
For example, introductory team: each class consists of 10 new climbers who meet with an instructor once a week for about 90 minutes. Here you will learn how to warm up effectively, how to climb a route most efficiently, how to climb and fall safely and much more. Intro-class is free for members and costs 250kr for guests. Intro-class is also a great opportunity to meet other new climbers, and almost certainly find climbing buddies.
You sign up intro-class at the reception!
How about climbing shoes?
InBoulders, all climbing must be done in climbing shoes. You may not climb in bare feet, socks, regular shoes, indoor shoes or five fingers shoes. If you do not have a pair of climbing shoes, please rent or purchase a pair.
You can buy rent shoes from us for DKK 35 per time, but we recommend all members have their own climbing shoes. It's both cheaper in the long run and it makes for significantly better climbing! The shoes should fit a little tight and the toes should bend a little - this ensures that you can stand on the small holds without the shoe slipping. Climbing shoes, like feet, come in many different shapes. Choose a shoe that fits your exact foot type and type of climbing. You can buy climbing shoes in the bar or on our web shop, and our staff are always ready to advise. Just ask!
How about chalk?
chalk is essential when you reach a certain level. The lime dries your hands and provides optimal friction. chalk is available in powder or liquid form. Boulders recommends using liquid chalk, as it is cheaper in the long run and it doesn't make a mess. You can buy rent liquid chalk in the bar for 10kr, but we recommend you have your own chalk You can buy chalk and chalk bags in the bar.
How often do you change the routes?
We make new routes every week. A set of routes lasts about 5 weeks before being replaced. So hurry up and top the problems before they disappear!
Why brush the handles?
When you climb, you leave rubber from your shoes and chalk on the grips. It builds up and results in the grips becoming slippery and that's not good for anyone. You should therefore always brush grips, both small and large. It makes for a better experience for everyone! There are brushes around the hall that you can use if you don't have your own. Please brush before, during and after you have been on a route.
Are there changing rooms and Showers?
Yes, there are changing rooms and Showers in all gyms, except Odense, there is no Showers.
What can you get at the bar?
Real. Good. Organic. Coffee! And tea, hot cocoa, cocio, soft drinks, snacks and ice cream.
And climbing shoes, sports tape, training equipment, brushes, chalk, skin-file and Boulders merchandise.
Can I bring non-climbing guests?
Guests are welcome to come inside just to have a cup of coffee and watch you climb. Non-climbing guests do not pay for Entrance.
Can I bring children?
Certainly! We have climbing walls for kids, and rent-shoes down to size 30. Children under 5 don't pay for Entrance.
What else do I need to know?
Climbing is endlessly enjoyable and incredibly effective. You can come alone, with your girlfriend or with your group of friends. You can train hard and sweat for hours, or play chess or do homework. Spend half an hour or the whole day, it's all up to you! Feel free to bring your own packed lunch, take over a sofa and settle in.
You always meet a lot of smiles in Boulders. If you are in doubt about a route or anything else, ask around. Our staff and members are really nice and would love to help you on your way.
See you for effective training and many pleasant moments Boulders!
