Intro lesson climbing
Want to experience what it’s like to climb to great heights, just like the athletes? Or looking for a sporty challenge but not yet certified to climb independently? Then the intro climbing lesson is made for you! Guided by our certified instructors, you’ll hit the walls and discover this Olympic sport.
What
Get a first taste of climbing during this introductory lesson. Great as an activity, or as a way to find out what the sport is all about! Over an hour and a half you and your instructor dive into the different sides of climbing: safety, belaying, climbing technique and getting up high. You'll also try auto belay climbing — climbing with automatic belay devices.
Enjoyed it? Then you can go on to take the indoor top rope climbing course or the auto belay climbing course!
When
All our climbing centres run introductory climbing lessons several days a week for anyone who wants to find out what climbing is like. At set times you can climb our walls for a full hour and a half, with friends, family or just on your own.

Frequently asked questions
With bouldering, you climb up to 4–5 metres high and no climbing certificate is required. It is an accessible sport that ultimately demands a lot of muscle strength. With rope climbing, you can go up to 18 metres high. Routes take longer, but high up in the air you are completely in your element! To start rope climbing, you first need a climbing certificate (KVB-IT).
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).
