New week - new adventures! #Mondaymotivaiton
Let's start the week by combining the elements: earth, air, water, and fire. How is that possible, you wonder? We'll show you on today's staycation itinerary.
🧗🏻♀️ Time for the first two: earth & air - we are going bouldering! You have probably heard of this very strength intensive free climbing trend already but maybe never got around actually to try it - then it is about time! Trust me; this is definitely a memorable day with the right degrees of thrill and intensity! Drop by Boulderhal Sterk for a broad and very diversified range of offers. Try out bouldering for an affordable price and grab a refreshing drink or tasty snack between moving from wall to wall.
DETAILS Arrangements: At Sterk, the timeslots have a two-hour duration. During your time, you can make use of all the walls available and try around with the degrees of difficulty you prefer. All you need to bring are your indoor-only gym shoes. You also can rent climbing shoes for € 3.50, but then please make sure to bring socks.
As bouldering is free climbing, you won’t need to rent a climbing bet or any gear.
Courses: Sterk also offers small group courses, usually 2 classes with 2 hours each, for beginners, intermediates, and advanced climbers. Find more about that here.
Prices: A two-hour time slot for kids & teenagers from the ages of 8-18: € 8.50 and for adults 19-24 € 9.50 and 25 years up € 10.50 Or do you plan on making this a hobby? Then go for a ‘strippenkaart’ - 10 times for the 3 triers € 76.50, € 85.50, € 94.50 But they also have affordable arrangements for memberships, find more about those here.
