First TIme at KIIPEILYAreena
First time on a climbing wall or have you tried it occasionally?
You can always come to the gym without an appointment. Our staff will give you an initial introduction and provide you with the necessary rental equipment.
In Ristikko, Salmisaari or Kalasatama?
In Ristikko and Salmisaari you will find both high climbing walls and bouldering. Kalasatama is climbing gym exclusively dedicated to bouldering, and it offers the best facilities for boulder climbing.
Bouldering or high walls?
Bouldering means climbing low climbing walls on mattresses without a harness. In Ristikko and Salmisaari, you can also climb 10 to 29 metres high climbing walls with a harness. Beginners with no previous experience can also climb with auto-belay equipment, for which we always provide instruction. There are 22 climbing lines with auto-belay equipment in Ristikko and 11 in Salmisaari.
