My boyfriend brought me here last weekend to try climbing. To be honest we had stopped in another…read moretime "just to look" and I got so scared I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. But I tried to be a good sport and put on the harness to show I was making an effort. Ha. It's very chill inside with lots of walls. You should wear workout-type clothes and rent the harness and shoes if you don't have your own. There are a few staff walking around if you have questions, but basically you're left to it, unless you're a total beginner without a more experienced partner and in that case you should book AHEAD OF TIME an introduction (I think it's around 20 euros - this is so you do it safely, not so much on HOW to do it as I understood - there are separate classes for that). There are changing rooms upstairs (without lockers, boo). There are lots of tables and chairs and post-climbing we had tea and some soup with nice dark bread. I like that they are open late as this makes for a nice evening activity.

Decent sized gym with a good mix of overhangs, straight up wall, short walls, features, and a…read morebouldering section. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. They emphasize safety (as they should) and constantly do walk-abouts to ensure nobody is being unsafe. There are also plenty of places to chill out and rest (tables, chairs, sofas). They also serve food and drinks here! I haven't had any of the items on the menu but you could easily turn a climbing session here into an all-morning/afternoon/evening affair. Hannekes Boom is across the way so that's an option too. The routes are challenging but fun. I do prefer the coloured sticker system as opposed to coloured holds. Some holds lose their colour,some routes zig-zag onto other walls, and some routes placed in close proximity to each other use the same colours. I've strayed off the route a couple times and have wasted time & energy trying to determine which holds are mine. The people who climb here are also very awesome. A good mix of expats and locals all just wanting to have a good workout in a laid back atmosphere. Lessons & gear available for sale/rent. Try it out!

Great gym overall. I don't speak Dutch but the staff all speak English and are friendly and…read morehelpful. Because I am a highly experienced climber they even asked my opinion on what grade to give a few new routes that had not yet been rated. I felt right at home.

From the outside, Klimhal looks a little bit like a cathedral. All hail. This is easily the best…read moreindoor climbing gym I have ever seen. I thought Klimmuur Centraal was good because of the espresso bar. Well Klimhal will see your espresso bar and raise you beer on tap. The only thing better than the 55' walls inside are the 55' walls outside. Yes, outside. And the huge and numerous LEED routes. And the biggest inside/outside bouldering area I have ever seen. And all the exercise equipment you might need. And roomy locker rooms, an oversight at most climbing gyms. And on and on and on.... If you're into climbing, put aside 2-4 hours to check this place out. You will feel like you found religion.

Nice clean climbing gym in the south part of town. The top floor is all top rope and the bottom…read morefloor is a small bouldering area. Good place to come for top rope only. There are not enough bouldering routes for repeat visits. There's also a cafe lounge area upstairs which is nice.
