CHALK AND TAPING
THE BASICKS
1. WHAT TO CLIMB
All holds of the same route (a “problem”) are the same color.
Stay on that color from start to finish.
2. HOW TO START
If there are two stripes on the tag, start with both hands on the same hold.
3. HOW TO FINISH
Use both hands on the final hold and stay in control for at least 3 seconds.
You don’t need to grip, just touch.
4. WALL RULES
Black volumes are part of the wall and can always be used.
The wall itself can also be used, unless marked with black tape.
GRADING
The level of a boulder is indicated by the color and number of the tags.

TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION
WHAT TO BRING
Wear comfortable clothes like a sports outfit and bring a water bottle.
Climbing shoes can be rented at BLX.
START WITH EASY PROBLEMS
If you are new to bouldering or want to warm up, try level 1–3 problems.
BRUSH HOLDS
If a hold is chalky or slippery, brush it clean.
This improves friction and makes climbing easier.
LOOK FOR THE BETA
The “beta” is the solution to the problem.
If it feels too hard, there’s often an easier way.
REPEAT PROBLEMS
Repeating problems helps you improve your technique, build strength, and find better solutions.
IMPROVE WITH OTHERS
Join our groups or Climbing Academy.
It’s fun, motivating, and helps you learn faster.

HOW TO BOULDER
New to bouldering? No problem! We’ll guide you through the basics, from understanding the grading system to getting started with your first climb.
What to climb
All holds of the same route, a “problem”, have the same color.
One Stripe on a Tag
Each problem has start holds, where you begin each climb. These are shown by the tags marked with numbers. If there is one stripe on the tag, you begin with one hand on that hold. This means that there will be two tags, one for each hand.
HOW TO
BOULDER
Two Stripes on a Tag
If there are two stripes on the tag, you start with both hands on the same hold.
Where to finish
Both hands must make controlled contact with the last hold. This means you should be able to stay on the wall for at least 3 seconds with both hands in contact with the hold. Remember, your hands don't need to be gripping the hold—just touching it.
Boxes & walls
The black boxes are part of the wall and can always be used to grab and stand on. The wall itself can also be used, unless there is black tape blocking it off.
TIPS
& TRICKS
What to bring
To make the most of your visit, wear flexible clothing like a sports outfit and bring a water bottle. If you don’t have climbing shoes, you can easily rent a pair from us. We also offer Chimpanzee Bars, Fritz Kola, coffee, tea, and other refreshments at the gym.
Start with easy problems
If you are new to bouldering or want to warm up, you can find plenty of level 1-3 problems in the training room by the entrance and on the left side of the upper floor.
Use Chalk
& Fingertape
Chalk improves your grip on the holds by absorbing moisture on your hands, while finger tape can prevent and treat minor skin injuries, as well as tendon and joint pain/injuries. You can find both in our vending machine and shop.
Brush holds
for better friction
If a hold is very chalky and feels slippery, brush it to remove chalk. This improves the friction and makes the climbing easier.
Look for the Beta
The "beta" is the "solution" to how you climb a boulder. If a problem feels harder than the grade suggests, you might not have found the easiest beta yet.
Experiment with different approaches and moves, be creative, it’s all part of the fun! If you still find it difficult you can ask our staff or other climbers at the gym for help.
You can also find beta videos on Vertical Life, or upload your own.
Repeat Problems
This will help you improve your technique on the wall, and could allow you to find easier betas. You can also challenge yourself and try climbing the problem without using all the holds
Improve with a Trainer
