Dublin Retour

March 6th 2017 - Roos de Boer

Visiting Dublin, this time checking out boulder gym Gravity while we're there. Which made most of my weekend trip.

Gravity calls itself the best bouldering gym of Ireland, so I had to go there! Then again boulder gym claims the same, I only got the check out Gravity, a really nice hall in a suburb of Dublin. Gravity even has routes in the colour of the Irish flag!

The place is big with lots of walls and even a cave! The routes are divers and creative and the atmosphere is really nice. Would recommend going there!

As there was a women only event the previous night to promote climbing to females, I could not help but notice still about half the climbers were pretty strong women. Had it already worked to build a female community overnight? Or did they all avoid that night and trained the next day instead?

The hall features a nice kids play ground and a small training area: for bonus coolness the training area is located inside bouldering walls.

A small tour around the crowded city and it was time to catch the plane back again. A good visit to Dublin!

Bouldering

Bouldering is a fun, spectacular branch of sport climbing. Without ropes you climb to a maximum height of 4.5 meter. Because of the thick safety matress, falling down is not a problem and does indeed happen regulary.

What is the boulder tour?

Bouldering is a creative sport. A part of the challenge is to solve the puzzle that the route boulders have set up for you. This makes it very interesting to visit other gyms than just the one that is closest to you. Other wall shapes, other holds and volumes and above all other route setters will make this an interesting experience.
