My first climbing

Comfortable sportswear that allows you to move freely (not your best clothes – they might get scuffed). In winter, bring a hoodie and slippers for when you're taking a break.
A water bottle and a small snack (our café has you covered too).

A complete setup includes climbing shoes, harness, chalk, belay device with carabiner, and rope.
Don't have your own gear? You can easily rent everything from our rental shop.
You can always add to your kit over time. Our shop at the wall has great advice and a wide selection.
Ropes at BigWall must be at least 50 meters long; if you're not sure, we recommend renting from us.

Climbers use first names and greet each other with a friendly "hi" – at the reception and at the wall, even if they've never met before.
We support each other – it's totally normal for someone to cheer you on. If you like how someone climbs, feel free to compliment them or ask for tips.
However, avoid giving unsolicited advice on how to climb a route or boulder – climbers prefer figuring it out themselves.
If you see a safety issue or rule violation, please speak up.
Whenever you need anything, feel free to ask our staff or other climbers – the community is friendly and welcoming.
