A great opportunity to explore the climbing scene in this region. There's plenty of choice, and we wanted to do both lead climbing and bouldering. For lead climbing, we visited De Klimmuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location and First Impression<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>De Klimmuur is located on the edge of the city, near the Kralingse Plas. A pleasant, green area. You can park for free right in front, which is always a plus. Upon arrival, the exterior wall immediately catches the eye: orange climbing modules decorate the facade, instantly inviting you to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layout of the Gym<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The gym is spacious and well-organized. There\u2019s a small shop where you can buy climbing gear. Most walls are 17.5 meters high, with an additional floor that features a few more ropes. At the top, there\u2019s a training area and a spray wall. From there, you get a great view of the entire gym and can watch others climb, especially on the overhang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/klimmuur-rotterdam-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/klimmuur-rotterdam-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/klimmuur-rotterdam-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/klimmuur-rotterdam-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/klimmuur-rotterdam.jpg 984w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hal-de-klimmuur-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hal-de-klimmuur-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hal-de-klimmuur-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hal-de-klimmuur-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hal-de-klimmuur.jpg 1043w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Routes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You clip into the rope with a carabiner, which is quick and practical. We started on the upper level, where the walls are slightly shorter. After two easy routes, I got a bit too enthusiastic and jumped on an unmarked route. It turned out to be a 7A from the De Klimmuur Open competition. I made it to the top, but it was clearly more effort than expected. I wasn\u2019t warmed up enough yet.<br><br>After that, we moved to the main wall downstairs. Most routes are vertical or slightly overhanging, with the occasional bulge. The competition routes were still set and looked challenging. I topped several of them with great enjoyment.<br><br>What\u2019s a pity: this gym doesn\u2019t use Toplogger, so you can\u2019t track your climbed routes in the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lina-climbing-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lina-climbing-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lina-climbing-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lina-climbing-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lina-climbing.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slab-de-klimmuur-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slab-de-klimmuur-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slab-de-klimmuur-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slab-de-klimmuur-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/climbingspot.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/slab-de-klimmuur.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Level and Variety<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The routes go up to a maximum of 7C+, and almost everything has been set recently. Hardly anything is older than six months. The final routes from the recent competition are still up on the large overhang. I climbed the women\u2019s final without too much trouble. The men\u2019s final was tougher: lots of shoulder moves at the bottom and small crimps at the top. On my first attempt, I nearly made it to the top. At the end of our session, I tried again but fell at the same spot. This time, the pump got the better of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The staff was friendly and the routes were fun. After climbing, we enjoyed lunch by the Kralingse Plas.
