Home at the Lab
In addition to all European travels, this day we stay in our own country: exploring the newly opened bouldering gym Het Lab in Amsterdam. Decent walk from train station Amsterdam Sloterdijk is this huge gym. So much fun!
There are many routes and to use the holds for multiple levels they used two tricks: first the easiest routes are in the same colour as the decent difficult ones. Easy enough to see whether a route is a 3 or a 6a from sight, plus it is marked at the start of the route. Second creative solutions for the holds to appear in routes of varying levels is the boulder ladder. One colour, pink, starts easy at problem 1 but gets harder up to number 60. So a pink route will be between 3 and 7+, challenging to get as far as possible.
A big but cosy gym, surely would love to visit again!
