Why should you go bouldering at Karma gym?
- Just a couple of kilometers away from the city center, KARMA can be reached by bike in 10mins or walking in 20mins
- It’s beginner friendly and great for people that don’t have shoes (nor anybody with the same shoe number) since you can rent them there
- You don’t need a crashpad!
- Only place to do rope climbing in Fonty!
- They have 4 auto-belay machines so you don’t even need a belayer to do rope climbing!
- If you do have a belayer, they provide ropes for free, so all you need is a harness and belay device to do some rope climbing
- They keep changing parts of the bouldering wall every week, so you’ll have new routes to challenge you!
How to get there
- Short bike ride from campus or car drive from campus
- Parking
- First Bloc GPS
What should you watch out for?
- Get a 3-month pass if you plan on going regularly - much cheaper!
- There is also a 10-session pass which can be used by multiple people.
- Go in groups and challenge each other! It’s always more fun with some healthy competition :)
- May be very crowded on rainy days and peak hours
- Don’t be lazy, you are in the #1 bouldering spot in the world, so if it’s sunny and you have time, go to the forest!! :)
