Pretty cool bouldering gym costing 9.50 for the day. You can rent shoes for 3 euros on top of that…read more Not bad at all. The gym is quite good. Lots of different routes of varying difficulties. If it is your first time at the gym ensure to check the colour coding of the difficulties. If i recall right green was hard, white easy and yellow were in the middle but as high as I could go. There are also rings handling on strings that you can play with. In the background they have also got some soothing reggae music playing. That goes with the general feel and vibe of this place. Keep it cool and relaxed. When we got there around 2 on a Sunday there were some people and it was good but from about 3:40 to 4 when we left, the place suddenly got way overcrowded. It may be worth avoiding such times if you wanna boulder on lots of routes

This place is right around the corner from my current apartment, and so checking it out was a…read moreno-brainer. I knew it was going to be small just from the area, but I didn't realize *how* small. You're almost always on top of someone or in someone's way, and though everyone was friendly about it, it definitely becomes an annoyance very quickly. I will say a couple of the photos here are super impressive in how they make the space look bigger. I had to stare at a few of them just to try to figure out how the hell they were taken. Anyway, having cut my teeth climbing in a converted barn, I'm not really looking for polish when it comes to a climbing gym. However, when the shabbiness continues into the problem setting, that's when you'll lose me. And here, I just wasn't impressed. There were problems where you couldn't differentiate the holds for Problem A and Problem B as they intertwined, problems that felt lazily set, and too many that just seemed gimmicky. At the end of the day, it's a climbing gym, so if you're nearby, short on time, and in need of a fix, it'll do. But given my choice, I'll hit up some of the other gyms in the area as a regular. It's worth the extra commute.

Don't make the mistake I did and wander around in circles wasting precious time where you could have been climbing! Cool, now that that's over with... My hometown gym is Dogpatch Boulders in SF, and I routinely complain about how Dogpatch has "ruined" other climbing gyms for me because bouldering just isn't as fun anywhere else. So when my coworker described FLASHH as "like Dogpatch," I was skeptical. Turns out he was right! The problems here are challenging, with a wide variety of holds and routes. There's plenty of space, and a range of route heights as well. Problems tend to involve fewer, larger holds and more reach and flexible movement than I'm used to, which was surprisingly fun rather than frustrating (given my short height). Routes are rated on the Fontainebleau scale, typical in Europe, rather than the V scale. I have yet to figure out the exact conversion, but regardless there's plenty of variety in problems to keep climbers at all levels interested. Finally, the most important question: How to pronounce the name of this place? Is the second "H" silent? Guess I'll have to go back and ask!

I've been to climbing gyms all over the place, and this is easily one of the nicest. They've really…read moremade the best of the huge amount of space they have. There's good problem variety, both in style and in difficulty, and at the end of the night I was going home because I was beat, not because I was bored. Having only been there once, I can't say how well they handle problem rotation, but considering the attention paid to everything else (and the size of the place), I feel comfortable assuming they do a good job. Despite having other climbing gyms closer, this is the place I'll be getting a membership to. The only downside is that it was a seriously hot night and the fans were not at all keeping up. I imagine most of the time this isn't a problem, but it was basically a sauna.

This is a pretty good climbing gym. They include free shoes, belay device and harness with your…read morepayment to use the gym which is incredible! Worth noting that they only have the ATR belay device is the only one they have so if you aren't conversant with it, its probably best to bring your own; although in my opinion is quite easy to learn to use The gym has really high walls and lots of hang overs. There were some pretty great routes! The climbs are guaged in the French difficulty rating. Unfortunately we went to top rope and there aren't that many routes to do so; mainly because upstairs was closed off that day for classes and also that a lot of the gym is setup for lead climbing. If you are lead climbing, its excellent. Cost wise we paid 15 euros to use the gym for the day.

My wife and I visited Kletterwald on a Saturday. The place is reachable from the Meinendorfer Weg U…read morebahn station. The entrace to Kletterwald is just opposite to the U bahn station. One needs to walk a little inside to find it. We had bought tickets online, so at the shop, I just had to buy a pair of gloves (€3). A mask must be worn at the shop. They also provide a locker free of charge but with a €5 refundable deposit. There are portable toilets near the back of the park next to the car parking lot. The staff were very friendly and spoke English. They helped us wear the harness and gave us instructions. They also gave us the helmets. We didn't need to wear masks while doing the courses. They kindly showed us the way to course 1. We did courses 1, 2 and 4. Courses 3 and 5 were available only in the presence of an instructor. Course 1 and 2 have a zip line at the end. Course 4 does not have it; there's a simple wooden staircase at the end. Overall it was easy and doable. I struggled a bit on one of the bridges in course 4. It needed a lot of upper body strength. We finished course 4 and were too tired to go for course 6. We returned back to the shop area and returned our harnesses and helmets. We emptied our locker and bought some ice cream in the hot summer weather at the shop. We spent about 2 hours at the place. Overall it was a fun experience and we'd love to visit Kletterwald again!

It is remotely located in Aumühle (about 30 min drive from Hamburg), just being in raw nature was such a pleasure for this city girl. We were then instructed on how to put on our full body climbing harness - leg loops as well as over the shoulders - giving me the feeling that I was completely safe! After a short instruction we climbed up, up, up - heights ranging from 6 - 14 meters and started our course. Just to mention a few elements, there were log bridges with nothing to hold on to, hanging ropes, a climbing wall and a bicycle hanging at about 14 meters above ground. Your brain knows you are completely safe hanging from your harness, but this information doesn't successfully reach your body, while trying to balance across a swinging rope bridge having to jump from board to board and seeing the abyss through the gaps. It was thrilling!!! This park is great for all ages - there is even a little course for kids under 8. The main focus is for ages 8 - 99 ;) making it the perfect outing for a mixed group of families, single people, teenagers, their friends and their friends' parents. :)) the more the merrier, because 90 people can climb at a time! Safety is of great importance here. All the ropes and equipment are well maintained, so even though it looks dangerous, you could literally let even your youngest dare devils test their courage - only requirement is 120cm for the green and blue courses and 150 cm for the red and black courses. I myself HAVE to go back, after finishing the green, blue and red courses I was so tired, I just couldn't do the black one anymore. WARNING: you will have SEVERE sore muscles the following two days!!
