As a climber I went there to discover the boulder gym - on pictures you can see that the location has an incredible potential to climb.

But once there, the first challenge is to understand the grading system : complex and not convenient at all which should not be that hard to map out ...

When it comes to the boulder setting - very low quality... I am wondering if they have proper setters - which is a pity when you pay 10eur the entrance - you expect them to put efforts on how the boulder problems are set. Very reachy & physical - you can definitely see that there is a lack of knowledge on how to set ! Missing foot holds - repetitive moves - very weird starts moves - wrong orientations on the holds... again such a pity for a location with this potential ! Also, variety on the moves and prehension with the holds is poor for a boulder gym.

We had a some snacks they were good but a bit pricy.

Overall if you want to have a great climbing/ boulder session - better to go to Mountain Network or Monk without any hesitation!
