Bloc Garten is about two things: rock climbing and community. Building relationships, teaching, learning, and having a good time in a supportive environment, are important to us. We are a bouldering gym for climbers of all abilities. Our facility includes a bouldering area with overhung and slab climbs, seven world cup climbing bays, Grasshopper and Kilter training boards, and a dedicated fitness area.
