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.

🚨 New Tagging🚨 This week, we are updating the tagging on all our boulders. All climbs will now be graded using the V-Scale. Hold color and tag color may not be the same! Make sure to check the grade and color on the tag to find the right climb.
This system allows us to be more specific in our routesetting and will help new climbers become familiar with commonly used outdoor grading systems. Talk with a team member if you need help finding the correct grade for you.

Dynamic climbing vs static climbing... The age-old question. The truth is that a well-rounded and efficient climber needs the ability to do both.
