Great boulders, less dynamic, more static with good problem solving. Great layout with autobelay. Clean changing room, cafe, everything.
The bouldering area is nice and not as small as the comments make it sound. There is auto-belay on the walls and a substantial outdoors area. Highly recommend coming before 4pm, as there is a discounted rate (9€ entry instead of 11) and the gym is more empty.
Old holds, not that clean, not a very original setting and the grading level is pretty wack. I rented the shoes and they were completely without a grip, should've told the guy to get me another pair but I was too lazy to get out and change them. Also a little bit more of a sunny disposition on the staff's side would be welcome. I would try once if you are looking for some easy to get in place (only one in Bologna to my knowledge that doesn't coerce you with a tessera system) but not a gym I'll be coming back to.
Not for beginners as there are not that many easy bouldering routes and the easy ones are relatively harder than the ones found in other commercial climbing gyms.
Good sized zone for boldering but quite vague grading system with slippy/worn holds. Maybe normal and I need better footwork but I feel that more than half of the bolder holds were like that. Maybe time to change up the lines. I was climbing blue level for 3 hours and normally I climb 6a-6b in sport grading. Gets busy around 6h30pm
Monday: 10:00 to 23:00. Tuesday: 10:00 to 23:00. Wednesday: 10:00 to 23:00. Thursday: 10:00 to 23:00. Friday: 10:00 to 23:00. It is closed on Sunday and Saturday. Hours come from the gym's Google listing and can change on public holidays.
