What is Bouldering?

With bouldering you climb on a wall of 3 to 4,5 meters high. You climb up without using a rope. There is a thick mat underneath you so that you fall softly.

Courses

During the bouldering course, you will receive five lessons to introduce you to bouldering. The focus is on safe climbing and improving basic techniques. You will learn to puzzle with your body: how do I get to the top, how do I maintain my balance, and where do I go? Because everyone chooses different solutions, you learn from each other and may possibly solve the puzzle together. The bouldering gym is also a nice place to stay for a drink after the course and meet other people in Groningen. Rental shoes are available and cost 4 euros per session. They will certainly enrich the climbing experience, as they provide much more grip and precision than indoor shoes.

The course is intended for beginners and takes place in Gropo. The course lasts five weeks, with one lesson per week. Participation is free. You can register via the ACLO app. Look here for an overview of the course periods.


Location

GSAC
The GSAC is the student sports association in Groningen for everything that has to do with mountains! This can be climbing or bouldering, but also alpine and skiing! As a member you can take climbing courses at all levels to become increasingly independent in (and up) the mountains. Members of the GSAC can make unlimited use of the climbing wall at the ACLO Sports Center. In addition, there are 20 weekends away every year where you can climb outside with other GSAC members, there is a winter sports week and a summer climbing week. You never climb alone, which is why there are plenty of social activities to enjoy with monthly drinks and activities.
