Become active at the ACLO!
The Climbing course is a beginners course where you learn to climb on the climbing wall in the Sports Center. The emphasis is on learning to climb safely, through the correct belay techniques and the use of various climbing materials. At the end of this course you can take an exam for the Indoor Toprope climbing certificate from the Dutch Royal Mountain Sports Association (NKBV). During the tenth lesson you go to Bjoeks (link) (the largest climbing wall in the Netherlands), on Kardinge. You can climb here for €6.
Note: The first two lessons are mandatory! If you are absent from one of these lessons, the course cannot be continued.
Are you ready for the next step in climbing? Register now for the lead climbing course! In four lessons you will learn: safe lead climbing, neat sets of cliffs, commands in a lead climbing situation, dealing with lead climbing falls, dealing with rope in a lead climbing situation, assessing situations for safety and acting appropriately.
We expect you to be on time for every lesson and to be able to progress to the 5c level.
The lessons take place at the Sports Center and in Bjoeks. Bjoeks' entrance fee is not included in the course.
After completing the beginner climbing course or after acquiring sufficient belay skills elsewhere, you can use the climbing wall and the bouldering wall in the Sports Center during open hours under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Always register for the open hour via the app.
Renting climbing shoes costs €1. You can purchase a strip card for this at the Sports Center counter. The strip cards are available in €5 and €10.
