The story
Boulders ApS was founded in 2009 by Frank Vilstrup and Søren Clausen. The company started its journey by signing a contract for 1000 m2 at Stigboerne 3 in Sydhavn. Construction began the following year in 2010.
Boulders began as an ambitious project under the name "CPH Blocs," which aimed to create climbing facilities for climbers in the associations from 2005. They worked to find suitable premises, but committing to the project was a challenging task.
From 2006 to 2009, Frank Vilstrup organized mobile climbing competitions on containers purchased from climbing wall manufacturer Abekatten. These competitions and facilities spread across Denmark and included different disciplines such as deepwater climbing and normal climbing challenges.
The company secured a five-year contract and occupied a former Louis Poulsen lamp factory as their base until spring 2014. However, they found a new one gym on Bådehavnsgade, where they Intermediate continue to operate to this day.
In 2012, Frank bought Søren out and continued running the business together with an ever-growing group of climbing enthusiasts. Martin Petersen came on board in 2014 and built the climbing gym in Aarhus Nord. And in 2019, Ole Mørk joined the team behind Boulders.
Boulders has since expanded its operations to Aarhus Nord, where they opened a facility in 2014, and to Wichmandsgade in September 2017. Martin became CEO in 2017 and has since grown Boulders to what it is today. In 2024, Ole joined the management team and together with Martin will continue the journey by creating even more and better facilities for the many happy climbers.
To the moon.
