it was my first time trying out bouldering and it was a great experience. The place is located in…read morean industrial area close to Sydhavn station, so it's easy to get there. I bought a day pass for 90kr and I rented shoes for a cost of 30kr.
We also rented chalk for 10kr (yes it's necessary when your hands are sweaty and you are trying to hold on)..
I got an introduction from my friend how to start, but the staff and people there are very helpful and give out tips if you're completely new to the activity.
I rented shoes in a size 39 even though I use size 38.. And they were really uncomfortable, but no worries that is how it is suppose to feel. Your toes should be cramped in order to hold on with the feet, but you really have to get used to the feeling.. And the shoes are also tight to avoid slipping.
I tried out all the green (beginners) challenges and I had much fun. It really takes shoulder/upper body strength to hold on, so it is also a great workout.
There is also a bar where you can buy coffee, soda and snacks. And when you're done with bouldering they have clean and nice showers and toilet facilities as well..
I'm looking forward to next weekend, cause i have to try bouldering again..
