The BIGGEST Bouldering Gym IN THE WORLD | Climbing Daily Ep.1999

[@Lucky-fk2ko]

I feel so fortunate to live only 10 min away from the gym 😱

[@MythAvatar]

Lucky ducky.

[@andreaspokorny3089]

And on top of that: there are five other bouldering gyms in the area - with two route re-sets at blockhelden you have a total of seven sets of new routes per week...

[@blackfox1320]

Where is this

[@נתנאלאפלבאום]

I'm so jealous of you right now

[@devieilleroche]

Lucky instead. It’ll take me 9 hours by train, 1 day by bike, or 5 days on foot to get there. 😹

[@NK-bz9wb]

I clicked on the video thinking "Who even needs such a huge bouldering gym?" But by the time the video ended I wanted to hug Simon. The gym was clearly made by people with SO much passion for climbing and even kids and just people and life I would say. Einstein's Rope to call it simply (handmade!!) is a great example. I wonder how much that weighs! I loved the comparison to wandering in the woods. This is amazing, I would never want to leave.

[@dailyclimbing]

You summed it up perfectly! ❤️

[@MiguelClimbs]

Let's party like it's Ep. 1999. Sweet gym! Would love to visit some day.

[@matthieupasquier9594]

I'm coming to Erlangen next week, can't wait to check out this amazing climbing gym

[@pedrourcola6288]

We are watching this in Indonesia. We are a family of obsessed climbers. My 14-year-old said he could live in that gym. Me, I need real rock, but the place is awesome.

[@jonasdefreez]

Thanks guys for making so much great and fun content! Almost congratulations with your almost 2000 Ep. Hope I can soon tell you more about our little project in the Netherlands, hopefully you'll find it worth to come and check it out when it takes place!

[@dancedancer178]

Oh, een mooie grote Gym in Nederland? Waar? 😇

[@jonasdefreez]

@@dancedancer178 not a gym but something else for the whole (Dutch) Boulder community, keep your ears and eyes open for news;-)

[@dancedancer178]

@@jonasdefreez I will! I think the sport is something amazing for us Dutch! Keep up the good work.

[@yaboitybizn3ss]

I'm taking a vacation that gym is epic!

[@ashpowell9451]

Full on, God I wish I had something like this nearby.

[@quinnthompson]

That gym looks insane! So cool!

[@NathanielCrispin]

Can’t wait going to go on Thursday.

[@user-bx4zq7fx7e]

4:29 I don’t see a single traverse boulder there lmao

[@MythAvatar]

Vertical traverse 100%

[@andreaspokorny3089]

There are a bunch but not visible in those clips. On top of the actual traverse boulders there are starting holds to connect the traverse boulders. They are visible here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3fWdammfbp0btU one of them is visible there on the left.. in very well chalked magenta

[@BeorOng]

I feel like i might be one of the few who prefer a smaller gym cause I find it easier to make friends climbing the same problems as others rather than finding a little hole to hide myself in. Of course not too small though I like being friendly, but I dont need to feel you behind me either lol

[@Noneymar1]

The fact that you’re able to invest 8-9 million euros just to open a climbing gym exclusively for bouldering and it probably will pay off is pure insanity. Who would’ve predicted this 5-10 years ago? Crazy how fast our sport is growing and evolving. I never was and never will be a big fan of this evolution but it for sure brings us insane climbing temples like this one, worth a visit. Although I wouldn’t want to make this my daily gym.

[@davidk3567]

Whered you get that number bc itd be over 8-9 mill just for the building. Everything together could easily cost 30+ mill but maybe they saved money by doing things in house.

[@Noneymar1]

@@davidk3567 they state that number on their website. but i feel you there, i estimated at least 15 mio at first glance

[@1c3M0nk3y]

I agree completely, this would be cool to visit but too much as a regular gym. Also seems like the hold density is really low. I like when the walls are more packed with holds to create make-ups. I know a big spray wall does the same but its nice to do on the actual walls too. Some of the funnest sessions I've had have been make ups my buddies and I rage on

[@sightreader2507]

@@1c3M0nk3y From my experience, hold density is always low when a gym opens, it's not worth the time setting everything for the launch as everything will be new to customers. Typically becomes denser in the first months

[@simonbrunner2408]

Worth noting that this is already open despite the time of posting.

You forgot to say where it is but obviously we can Google.

Are you going to tell us what country/ city it’s in or do we have to Google it ?

[@setadoon]

wow, what a place!

what country is this place ?

[@unknownuser_99]

It also looks like the best climbing gym in the world!

[@dalivanwyngarden3204]

3.80€ for Coffee haiyaah, drinks are usually cheaper in bouldergyms than in a Coffeeshop.

[@Albynator]

The gym is awesome, but the green soft floors just ruin the vibe, it makes it super ugly!

[@EnjoyPlantPower]

Yeah man, like when I climbed there the vibe just sucked because of the green floor 🙄😂

[@AEClimbingTV]

O_O definitely on my bucket list!!

Living in the same village where the boulder gym is. 5minutes with my bike.

yea you gotta walk like 5 minutes its pretty annoying

😍

[@hyau23]

A gym that size, I wonder what the memberships are or even a day pass price?

[@felixwagner3499]

The membership is around 50€ a month (depending on your age and if you are a student or not). The membership also includes another gym in the next city. The day pass costs 13€, or just 10€ if you are coming on weekdays before 3PM (-1€ if you are a student).

Did I just totally miss it or did nobody actually say where this amazing gym is located? 0_o I guess I missed it, but I even rewatched some parts and still I'm not even sure in what country it is XD

[@ronaldvancrombrugge1851]

I think near Bamberg, Germany

[@Lucky-fk2ko]

Bubenreuth, Franconia, Germany

[@ninnkat7134]

Germany, close to Erlangen which in turn is close to Nuremberg. It's called Boulderhalle Frankenjura :) And it's really amazing.

[@tiamat87]

looks awesome. I just dont get why nowadays they do only bouldering gyms without climbing. Who wanna become a member where they can only boulder? I mean especially in the franken jura, one of the most traditional climbing areas in the world.

[@vizarpa]

There are already some big Climbing gyms nearby, such as DAV, which is 15 minutes by bicycle from this Blockhelden gym. You can actually choose what to do.

[@just_me_1044]

there are a lot of people here (Franconia) who mostly go bouldering in the gym or climbing outside on rock. Climbing indoors is not as popular in this area. For bouldering you just need your shoes, chalk and you're ready. Meet up with your friends or go by yourself - all much more convenient for an evening session then needing a belaying partner, gear, etc. or if you do have the time, then climbing on real rock beats the gym by far

[@arcanaworms]

Holy smokes this place is hideous

Amazing waste of space;) Looks like one problem per 20m2 of panel...

[@JimnyRicardo]

Literally impossible to have fun there. Amazing which expectations some random commenters have

[@tillteufel9979]

Dear fellow climbers, this gym truly looks amazing but sadly there is a dark, dark story behind the blockhelden company. They really did criminal shit, that i am very embarassed of as a climber. While they built this new huge gym, they were already running another gym nearby in a building they rented. But since opening the new gym delayed, they did not move out of the rented building as planned, still had their gym open for the public but did not pay rent and refused to close and move out. Finally when they moved out they left the place dirty and with a lot of rubbish. They only care about money and are a shame for the climbing community. What a shame. There are court proceedings running but what they did, is truly criminal

[@mattiti8523]

When a commercial real estate company and a commercial climbing gym are fighting each other in court, I'm not sure the public at large needs to have an opinion either way.

[@tillteufel9979]

@@mattiti8523 it is not a comercial real estate company but a private person. And yes it is important for the people to know that the owner of the gym they visit regularly don't behave like decent human beings
