Clean Climber

Thanks to all who came out during the peak of the heatwave to listen to our outdoor climbing introduction at . We gave our small fire-proof audience a rundown of how to be prepared and responsible in our favorite french forest (and other bouldering areas too!). Looking forward to seeing you outside!

If your gym would like to organize a similar talk (preferably with lower temperatures 🫠), don’t hesitate to reach out!

Some time ago we floated the idea of selling refurbished climbing shoes as a means of cutting down waste.

(formerly resole), , and Shoemaker Hakky Ommoord have now made this idea reality!

Refurbished shoes are previously owned shoes that have been carefully selected, cleaned and resoled and repaired if need to perform like new, but with a much smaller environmental footprint.

Sweating for a good cause in Maizeret 🫠

Yesterday we braved the 31 degree heat to clean up one of Belgium’s newest crags. We found some cool routes, a blistering hot sun and very little trash. Always good to see people keeping it clean! Keep up the good work!

Want to get some insider tips about Fontainebleau (and other outdoor bouldering areas) and meet some awesome people? We’re hosting a special evening at in Leiden! We’ll be talking all things outdoor climbing: tips, tricks, and how we can minimize impact while keeping locals happy. Before the talk, we’ll be on the wall for a fun, relaxed session. Stick around after the climb because the first drink is on us! 🍺

Whether you’re a seasoned outdoor climber or just curious about transitioning from plastic to rock, everyone is welcome. Bring your climbing shoes and your questions!
