Toronto indoor climbing—way more fun than I expected!

My sis recommended this indoor climbing gym in Toronto, and wow, it’s such a blast! The staff are super patient and helpful—like lending me a locker lock and teaching me how to use it (last time I used one was high school 😂). Took their beginner class—friendly instructor, safety first, and they even offered a $25 upgrade to a monthly membership after the 1.5-hour course. Perfect for weekend adventures with my sis! Hands get red and sore after every session, but hitting those climbs feels so rewarding. Already crushed 5.7 and 5.8 routes—next stop, harder ones! The gym’s got top rope and bouldering, so you can spend all day trying lines. My sis loves it too—definitely a vibe for introverts like me. True North Climbing—too far now, but next month, I’m heading to Hub! #sport #climbing #weekendvibes

Irkutsk’s Паронама—bouldering and more under one roof.

Checked out Паронама in Irkutsk—bouldering routes lean hard but there’s plenty of variety. Huge gym with warm-up area, gym, even a boxing room you climb a ladder to reach (saw a dude in a CCCP shirt go up like a pro). Also changing rooms, foot washing spot, and a café. Not crowded at all, perfect vibe. Day pass 1300₽ with shoes and harness included. #sport #climbing #bouldering

What to pack for climbing trips? My Malaysia adventure.

Going to Malaysia 🇲🇾 and obviously gotta check out the climbing gyms besides eating durian! Heard KL gyms are great. Brought my fingerboard all the way, hoping to find a lucky local climber to train with. Flight delayed 7 hours—so much for smooth travel. At least I had the board and phone to kill time. Upgraded the setup with new cards for routes, from easy to crazy hard. Anyone got gym recs in KL? Planning to hit Camp 5! #sport #climbing #travelclimbing

Climbing in a bunker? SKC BAZA’s hidden gem in Belgrade.

Found this cool bouldering gym inside an air-raid shelter—super cool and fresh. Two walls with dozens of routes, some challenging. Day pass 500 RSD. My 12+ sister crushed 5 routes without help, little sis (9.5) did 2. They tried so many lines, even made up their own and set routes for each other. Two hours of nonstop fun. #sport #climbing #bouldering

Jeju’s FIX BOULDER—new bouldering spot worth the trip.

Checked out FIX BOULDER across from Jeju University Station (watch out, two campuses!). Open 12-10pm, closed Monday (not sure). Day pass 20,000 KRW, shoe rental & chalk extra. Two floors: 1F has bouldering, warm-up walls, fingerboards, pull-up area, lockers, and more; 1.5F for stretching with a chill view; 2F bigger bouldering + teaching area. Pro tip: bring cash, card didn’t work, and go early to basically have the place to yourself! #sport #climbing #bouldering

Right in the heart of Tirana—Rock Tirana Climbing Gym is legit. Whether you’re new or experienced, there’s something for everyone. Open weekdays 7–10pm, and it’s just 8 euros to get in. Google it and check out the vibe—walls everywhere and a chill crowd. Balkan climbing scene, here we come! #sport #climbing #gymvibes

Tunnel climbing in Barcelona is next level.

The vibe here is amazing, and the routes are super creative—everything from V to 7B. All overhanging walls, perfect for foot hooks and endurance. The long traverses really test your stamina. Definitely a spot to level up your climbing game. #sport #climbing #endurance

Dolomites Climbing: Heaven for Rope Lovers.

If you come to Dolomites and don’t climb, you’re missing out big time. Tons of spots—sport routes, trad lines, multi-pitches. I pick based on easy access (no heavy hiking pls), route variety, and shade—north sides stay cooler. Favorites: Cinque Torri for multi-pitches, Tre Cima for big walls (best in fall), Sass Dlacia for dense sport routes, and Sella Pass for everything from multi-pitch to bouldering. Trad fans, Marmolada and Vajolet won’t disappoint, though they’re less accessible. #sport #climbing #Dolomites

Kalymnos Climbing: First Time, Not Enough!

Finally made it to Kalymnos, and wow—I get why people never get enough here. Highlights: Arginonta Valley for day one warm-up, Grande Grotta for the iconic cave climbs (bring knee pads!), Odyssey for the hardest routes, Secret Garden for sunsets (but the hike’s way longer than promised), and Sikati Cave up north. Pro tip: use your own locking carabiner for rappel; topo’s thick but check verticallife app too. Masouri’s perfect for basecamp—sea views and gear shops. #sport #climbing #Kalymnos

Checked out Touchstone Lab, only 7 mins from my place by car.

The routes vary a ton—some V2s felt like a breeze, others straight-up tough. Super old-school vibe, nothing like the commercial gyms back home with all those flashy routes. Tons of tiny footholds that legit reminded me of those crazy old-school bouldering gyms. Didn’t bring my own shoes and climbing here was a nightmare—definitely gotta get a new pair ASAP. Front desk dude was super chill, shoes and chalk bag rental totally free 🥹 Ended up paying just $25 for the session. Quick question—anyone know about Sender One? Looks like they have lots of tall walls but I haven’t tried lead climbing yet. Worth the drive? And how’s their route setting? #sport #climbing #bouldering
