Discovering a new bouldering gym is always exciting, and Boulderwijk in Boulderwijk<\/a> is a fresh addition to the Netherlands' thriving climbing scene. Located conveniently on a residential boulevard, this gym offers free parking - perfect for climbers traveling by car. Just keep in mind it can get busy due to nearby home decor stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Upon entering Boulderwijk, the bustling atmosphere is immediately noticeable. Many climbers are eager to check out this new spot. The layout is well-organized, with changing rooms and toilets along the back wall. At both ends of the gym, you'll find U-shaped climbing walls, and there's already space reserved for an upcoming Kilterboard - a feature that promises even more fun in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still a Work in Progress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a brand-new facility, Boulderwijk is still fine-tuning its features. For instance, I initially missed the training area, but later found it accessible via a staircase near the entrance. Over the coming weeks and months, these minor details will be addressed, enhancing the overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Holds, Fresh Challenges<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A new gym means brand-new holds, and that\u2019s instantly noticeable in Boulderwijk. The grippy texture makes climbing less strenuous, allowing for smoother movement. A mix of large and small holds from various brands ensures plenty of variety. One standout holds for me personally were Axis<\/a> <\/strong>Disc 14 and 15 series\u2014unique holds I hadn\u2019t encountered before. Not only are they visually striking, but they\u2019re also versatile and fun to climb on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boulder Grades System<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Each problem is labeled with its grade, such as 6B\/6C or 4\/5a. However, like most new gyms, the grading can be a bit off. For example, I managed to flash a 7C, which is typically above my level. But remember: the joy of bouldering is in the movement and challenges, not just the numbers. Rest assured, Boulderwijk offers plenty to test your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing Style and Atmosphere<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Boulderwijk stands out with its diverse climbing styles, offering enough variety for a full session. Unlike gyms with limited overhang routes, Boulderwijk has ample options for physically demanding problems. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and inviting - a must-visit for anyone in the area. It\u2019s also a perfect stop if you want to pair your climb with a trip to the nearby beach.
