Your visit to Boulderstation

During our opening hours you can always come by to boulder freely. You don't need to make a reservation. There is no timeslot or limit to your visit - you can boulder for as long as you like. So take your time to challenge yourself, take a break and have fun. 

During your first visit to Boulderstation, we ask you to register at our reception. You must also agree to our GDPR and terms and conditioTerms and conditions.

Never  bouldered before? No problem! You don't need any experience. We will give you a short instruction at the bar with everything you need to know to get onto the wall safely. Prefer a little more guidance? You can also book a Boulder Intro. The introlesson is for free - you only pay entrance and rentalshoes - and takes half an hour, and afterwards, you can stay to boulder for as long as you like.

Climbing shoes are mandatory at our gym. If you don't own these yourself, you can rent them.

N.B: Bouldering freely is allowed at our gym from 6 y.o.. Are you under 18? We then need permission from a parent or guardian. We can easily arrange this via e-mail, so they don't need to be here too, if they are able to lend this permission digitally. Are you under 12? Then you can only boulder freely under supervison of and adult. 

Tips for your first time bouldering:

  • You can start by reading our house rules.
  • You can also already read the instructions for safe and responsible bouldering.
  • Wear comfertable clothing, that do not restrict your movements. The walls can be a bit rough, and scrape against your skin and clothes. So maybe leave your newest, prettiest set of sports clothes at home. 

Climbingclasses

From 5 y.o. kids can join our climbingclasses. Our juniorclasses are thaught in several agegroups. More information on the classes can be found here. Kids can first do 2 trailclasses. For this we have a special drop-in class at wednesday afternoon. During this class, we will also focus on (safety)rules. Afterwards (or if the kid is already familiar with bouldering and the rules), they can come to a regular lesson. Signing up for a drop-in class can be done here. To continue participating in the climbingclasses, a junior membership needs to be taken out.
