Bouldergym Arnhem Safety Rules

HERE YOU WILL FIND ALL THE SAFETY RULES FOR BOULDERGYM ARNHEM

  • Bouldering is a high-risk sport. If you have no experience with bouldering yet, we advise you to take an introduction lesson. Or get a safety briefing from a staff member on your first visit — ask for this at the counter.
  • Keep the mats clear for boulderers.
  • Do not run, play or lie on the mats.
  • Keep sufficient distance (above, below and beside) from boulderers on the wall.
  • Down-climbing is better than jumping down! Use the grey down-climbing holds for this.
  • While bouldering, only use the wall and the holds, not the structure of the building.
  • Always place your chalk bag, brushes, etc. outside the fall zone. Use chalk sparingly!
  • Do not wear jewellery or watches while bouldering.
  • Make sure you have mastered the correct falling technique:
    • Down-climbing is better than jumping down
    • Practise jumping down and cushioning your jump or fall
    • Try to land on both feet
    • Try to land on flat feet
    • Do not try to land with straightened limbs
    • Bend your knees when landing or roll out of it

  • When bouldering in the boulder garden above 3 metres (black line), the use of a crash pad is mandatory and it is advisable to boulder with a spotter.
  • Help each other fall safely!
  • Do not place any objects other than crash pads in the fall zone.
  • Climbing on top of the boulder blocks is not permitted.
  • Watch the instruction video 'boulder garden safety' before you go bouldering in the boulder garden for the first time.
