Customer Reviews
The only part I didn't enjoy was the registering process at the front but once you've done it once they have you in the system to go back again which is good.
Good for a group of friends that have variations in style and level.
We were there for almost the whole day (from 13:30 - 19:00) and really enjoyed it. There are 4 gigantic halls were the first two are accessible for everyone and the last two are 16+ only. Even in the first two halls only there is a lot of climbing tracks with a really accurate difficulty ranking, wich you can find in the fotos. The food (wich is also in the fotos) is really ok, and definitely very good for a bouldering hall. They have different food every day. The drinks are also fairly standard. The climbing experience and customer service was AMAZING.
You should take your own lock if you want to use the lockers. Parking was free.
The colour coded grade system was confusing, (dark green and dark blue are so close together when the laminated labels are reflecting ambient lights.. then there's a dark purple and a black same issue) but that's not even starting to talk about inclusion of people with color vision deficiencies.
The locker rooms are way too small for a climbing gym that size and there's not enough toilets either.
Oh and you can't shower there, the showers are closed (supposedly since 2020 during COVID).
The worst part was how dirty and slippery the holds were. A picture's worth a thousand words so I'll attach some...
All in all I will think twice about visiting next time I'm in Berlin. There's plenty of alternatives that deserve a look.
But to be honest not all is bad, their Quiche is awesome and the Vegan Chocolate Cake is great, too.
