    Small yet very technical bouldering place. It's a very good place to train and learn new stuff. Everyone's is friendly as well.

    I go here weekly and it's further away than other climbing gyms for me but I still go to this one because the climbing paths are more fun and versed than other gyms. And the whole vibe is very chill you can even get drinks and snacks at the bar.

    Very nice little gym. Quite technical but also very nice to gradually learn by moving from color to color within the same style of climbing.

    Cozy, rather small boulder place. Prices are normal and the staff is friendly. Nice to have a drink afterwards next to the wood stove. Mind you, it becomes super busy here! So come early if you want to avoid the big crowd!

    The cutest spot in gent. Amazing bouldering experience with a lot of quickly updated routes. Super friendly and helpfull staff always down to chill. Not too pricey. Accomodation is perfect with the changing rooms and shower. A small training room perfect for warm ups. Two safe climbing rooms with enough variation in the routes. Balance wall/overhangs/... And a chill spot to cool down after the climb with nice drinks and boardgames.

    What a great bouldering gym! Everyone was so nice. The problems/routes were very true to grade, interesting, varied and challenging. All of the other climbers were super friendly and we worked several harder problems together, and the staff was very helpful. What a warm and inviting environment to climb in! One of the best bouldering gyms I have ever visited! Thanks to everyone who was there, and especially the people who set the routes!

  • 3/5 Shrai S. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 18 reviews
    Sorry to rain on the parade of 5s here. Most of the holds are simply disgusting. Please wash them. Many of them have a layer of grime on them that makes them slippery and just plain gross to even look at, let alone hold onto. A lot of the footholds at the bottom are black. You have to stare at them for a second or two to realize what route they even belong to. The routes are mostly cool and unique. The jump from difficulty 3 to 4 feels a tad extreme, to the point that I flash most of the 3s but can barely even start most 4s. The climb-over to the next floor concept is great and I haven't yet seen it in another Belgian gym. There's some walls for which the falling mats only start half a meter away from them, this just feels unnecessarily dangerous.

    Small bouldering hall in a blink and you'll miss it location - but that's it's charm! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and the routes are actually fun. 2 large-ish halls, upstairs has a small gym with basic equipment and there are showers and toilets.

    Great gym, good atmosphere and nice challenging boulders. Despite being smaller than most places, the problems are well laid out and there's a decent exercise are upstairs. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

    Great place! Everyone super friendly... walked in off the street whilst in Ghent and everyone was very welcoming. Good small bouldering gym with great routes and also the β€œcircle of life” route right round.
