No climbing Macedonia

August 13th 2017 - Roos de Boer

Arriving with 40 degrees celsius outside (hot hot). The first thing to pop up to do would not be indoor climbing. But we were on a mission in Skopje!

The city has two climbig places: BoulderBar (love the name) and slimbing centre Karposh with walls outdoor. First up was BoulderBar, a small gym close to the city. Because of the temperatures, it would not be open before 5 p.m. well, even at 6 p.m. it was still closed. I would recommend to visit in autumn.

Karposh is close to a shopping mall and next to a cosy part of the Vardar river. The walls are outside so we could peak around the fence even though they were not open either. Looks very promising, would have been great to boulder there!

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.

About us

Roos is blogging since 2016 about bouldering and visiting different bouldering gyms in The Netherlands and abroad. Living in Urecht she was already bouldering in different gyms when the idea shaped in her mind to visit all the dutch gyms in 2016.

Participating

The first boulder tour in 2016 was completed by Vincent, Roos and Elske, but a lot more people participated in part of the tour. We like this a lot. Bouldering is most fun when shared with others.
