Frequently asked questions
If you want to try climbing, you can book an introductory lesson first! If you like it, you can then get your Indoor Toprope Climbing Skill Certificate (KVB-IT) from us. This allows you to climb independently in any climbing gym in the Netherlands. After that, you can get your indoor pre-climb ticket (KVB-IV).
Each lesson in the course lasts 2 hours. To complete the program, you must attend at least 4 lessons and pass a final exam. These 4 sessions must be completed within a 3-month period. Your instructor will determine when you are fully prepared to take the practical exam.
You'll work in a group with fellow participants to learn the basics of climbing — think belaying, tying knots and, of course, climbing technique. Along the way you might just meet a new climbing partner too, so you're picking up skills and swapping experiences at the same time.
