Our house rules
To keep bouldering fun & safe for everyone, you have to take the following into account:
General
-
Warm up well before starting your climbing session.
-
A "cooling down" after your session is also essential to prevent injuries.
-
Climbing is done with sturdy shoes. The use of climbing shoes is not mandatory but recommended.
-
Climbing shoes are available for rent for € 3.
-
Don't go to the toilets with your climbing shoes.
-
Stockings are mandatory with rental shoes.
-
Don't walk in the hall
-
Do not lie down or play on the mats when you are not bouldering.
-
Keep a sufficient distance (1.50m) from other climbers.
-
Never walk under other climbers.
-
Do not wear jewelry or other objects (chalk bag on the back) while bouldering.
-
No food allowed on the mats.
-
No alcohol allowed before or during exercise.
-
Always put your chalk bag, brushes, etc. next to the mat. Be economical with puff!
-
The entire climbing hall, including changing rooms and bar, is a non-smoking zone.
Age
-
Everyone is welcome to come and climb, even if you have no experience at all.
-
An adult supervisor must be present for youth up to 11 years old. You do not need a course or introductory lesson, we will help you on your way.
-
If you come with more than 3 children, climbing is only allowed under the supervision of an instructor from Rhino Boulder Gym.
Reservation in advance is necessary for this! Contact us to make an appointment.
Falling & landing
-
Climbing is better than jumping.
-
We have gray climbing handles for easier descending.
-
Try to land flat on your feet with both legs to distribute the impact.
-
Never land with your arms or legs outstretched and bend your knees when landing.
-
Keep your arms in front of or to the side of your body.
-
Always roll over in the event of a high fall.
-
Familiarize yourself with the mat by first 'falling' out of a boulder halfway.
