This gym video is legendary, with so much going on in the background: the GB paraclimbing team (TIL! Didn't know about these guys, saw in the comments), the one-armed climber, that climber destroying the route in the background with a single leg, & that girl in a wheelchair (with a climbing outfit on, ready to campus!), multiple national climbing teams, Germany's Alex Megos, USA, Japan (two of whom finished 1st and 2nd against HEAVY competition in the IFSC 2019 Bouldering World Cups, Tomoa Narasaki & Akiyo Noguchi - congrats, both of you!), Jim Pope just casually working out, that speed climber just running up the wall. Props to you guys, Matt & the EpicTV crew for grabbing all of these amazing shots.

I wonder how much they spent just to purchase the 10 billion holds.

[@htlhausi]

The rumoured costs of the facility are at about 16 million € so you can go figure :) Amazing to be there.

[@georgegordonbrown9522]

In Austria they don´t spend - they invest.

[@Keyakina]

@@htlhausi How they ever got that money? Even 10 years collecting money it's still insanely much

[@htlhausi]

@@Keyakinaas a national training facility the money was split between the state, the federal goverment and some private funding afaik. Edit: beeing partnered with so many brands i guess there were also some heavy discounts. But this is just me guessing..

The comp boulder wall outside is also part of the regular gym and the lead walls outside are jawdroppingly massive. You don't really get to see that in this video. When you arrive there the first time you will understand why this gym is arguably leading the way in sportsclimbing.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

I learned climbing in this gym, kinda spoiled all others for me 🙈

[@b3tt3rth4ny0u]

Awesome man! What a luxury it is to have access to a world class facility like that

[@henning_jasper]

Very glad to visit that place 4 times a week! :) Everything is truly awesome there. One thing that does bother me though is the time it takes for new routes to be set. I'm in there bouldering very very often and it seems like it takes 1 month for a small section of wall to be replaced with new routes. I'd like that do be more frequent as I know literally all of the boulders all the time.

[@fjsidebar]

Normally one of the boulder walls is changed every wednesday! I heard all of the Routemakers are in holyday after having so much stress at the wm ^^

[@henning_jasper]

Robert Kelzo oh yea that sounds plausible :D

[@nofurtherwest3474]

How much does it cost? It seems climbing is a sport for the rich. so that is a turn off

[@TessaOfHyrule]

@@nofurtherwest3474 definitely not! The great thing about climbing is the climbing centres have all of the gear already, you just need to bring yourself and your sneakers. If you start to get more involved then you'll often end up buying a pair of climbing shoes but most centres will offer a memberships or a small entrance fee and the ability to borrow climbing shoes. It's cheaper than a gym in my area. If you want to get into it, research the climbing gyms near you and go and talk to some of the guys that work/run it. Super fun :)

[@nofurtherwest3474]

@@TessaOfHyrule Thank you. And is it safe for kids? My kid is 6 and loves to climb

[@porrasm]

6000 m^2 is huge. My gym is quite big (3000 m^2) so I can imagine how huge this place is. I hope to visit someday.

[@rainyday2535]

Look amazing. Also love how you can see many disabled climbers. Most climbing facilities cannot cater for the disabled. kudos for being so inclusive.

[@David-ud9ju]

Wait, why not? I don't see anything different about this gym than any other. They're just climbing with less limbs - you can do that anywhere.

[@halliehurst4847]

David Climbing is a pretty accessible sport as long as you’ve got the ability to have body strength. Only problems I know of are: Stairs and no lift, which I don’t imagine is a problem here because 1) appears to be ground level 2) it’s the para team in the background so they probably have decent prosthetics. (Although even then shit happens, stuck in a wheelchair for a bit, prosthetic needs resized/repaired/replaced injures etc) Harnesses. Here I’m assuming the harnesses fit them, but depending on where you’ve lost your leg some harnesses don’t fit/aren’t safe (supposedly).

[@aamidjaythreepointoh]

So... apparently this gym can facilitate a one armed person, a person with an artificial leg, and people who have to roll in on wheel chairs. Amazing

[@PhillipBridgesReviews]

This place is insane. I wish there was a place like this near my town. I would be there all the time.

[@zukokurama]

Akiyo and Tamoa just chilling in the background haha

@Jujimufu & @Tom Boyden : There must be some way you chaps can sponsor your way here!!! #Jujimufu #TomBoyden

[@angrybirder9983]

One really awesome thing are the Toppas (self-belay devices) they have on some walls. You can climb at least a few long walls without someone to belay you. For most climbers, this is probably irrelevant, but for beginners who haven't found a climbing buddy yet (like me), this is super awesome. The lack of structure walls (with a shape that mimics rock) is a bit disappointing though.

[@rodeocontentmedia4327]

Every time he says “national team” take a shot. CATION: Will cause death do not hold me responsible

[@mariusbijan1336]

It's about twice the size of the gym where I live. But if so much is reserved for professional level training, I'm not sure if it's worth going there.

Great that they have a space for the paraclimbers to not be disturbed as well as the other national teams. Amazing looking space. HUGE. Not sure I saw many (if any) auto belays for someone of my limited abilities.

I would love to see the financials of this place.

Running in the green zone of profit in 2 ish years that’s insane. My guy is living the dream.

there are 4 routes reserved for that they just missed it in the walkaround

[@HygerRS]

You can see a couple at 12:26. With a facility and community like the one they have finding a partner is most definitely not an issue. Also since they seem to cater to more committed climbers most of the walls if not all are lead-able or lead only.

[@htlhausi]

As far a as i remember they have at least 6 autobelays inside, probably more. You can see two of them anchored in the upper section of the main gym in this video. Thats not including the speed walls.
