How do I read the colors?

The level color indicates approximate difficulty. Before starting, check the problem’s label and ask the team to show you the starting holds and the line.

My first visit
START → TOP

From the start to the TOP.

Most of our boulder problems are labeled from the starting holds to the finish. Check the markings before you begin.

One mark

At the start, use one limb on this hold: one hand or one foot.

Two marks

At the start, use two limbs on this hold, according to the problem’s starting position.

TOP / Finish

Control the finishing hold steadily with both hands.

Down arrow

Marks holds for downclimbing. These holds are not part of the boulder problem.

Labels help you follow the problem. If a mark or the start is unclear, ask our staff before climbing.
