Save time on your first visit!
If you haven't yet come to climb at Urban Boulder, you can register online before you arrive.
Just fill in your details and, when you get to the gym, your file will already be created.
This speeds up your entry so you can start enjoying climbing sooner.
Registration is free and does not constitute the purchase of a day pass or a booking. When you come, you'll need to check in at reception during staffed hours.
Early registration does not replace the access conditions for minors. At the main climbing gym, under-15s must climb accompanied by a responsible adult, except students on our courses with express authorisation from a parent or legal guardian. Minors aged 15 to 17 may come unaccompanied with a parent or legal guardian's signed consent. Eskola has its own rules. Consent for minors
Before you come
What is bouldering?
Climbing on low walls above padded flooring, with no ropes or harness. You climb up, solve the problem and come back down.
Do I need experience?
No. There are easy boulders to start with and others for once you get into the swing of it.
Do I need to book?
You don't need to book for open climbing. Your first visit, though, must be during staffed opening hours: we don't sell passes outside those slots.
See opening hoursWhat should I wear?
Comfortable sportswear that lets you move freely. Nothing else required.

No. The main gym has free liquid chalk dispensers included in your pass. If you prefer loose chalk, you can use that too.
