A hub for bouldering enthusiasts in Danang
Who are we?
We are a couple of bouldering enthusiasts from Vietnam and Slovakia, living in the amazing city of Danang in central Vietnam.
Bouldering in Hanoi and Saigon has been gaining popularity in recent years, but in Danang, most people don’t know how awesome bouldering is, or that it even exists. There is basically no climbing community in Danang just yet, and we would love to help in creating it.
What is bouldering?
Bouldering is a form of rock climbing, in which you use boulder mats (crash pads) for safety instead of a rope. You climb only up to a few metres in height. In case you fall, you land on the soft mattress instead of hitting the soil, or rocks on the ground.
Generally, bouldering is more technically and physically challenging, but that’s why it’s also more fun! Bouldering can be done in indoor rock climbing (bouldering) gyms with artificial walls and holds, or outdoors on real rock.
We believe that bouldering is more than just a physical activity – it is a way to challenge the mind, build resilience, and develop a strong sense of self, while also creating long-lasting friendships.
Is it possible to go bouldering in Danang?
Rock climbing has been gaining popularity in Vietnam in recent years. However, compared to more established climbing destinations such as Europe and North America, rock climbing in Vietnam is still in its early stages of development.
There are well established bouldering or rock climbing gyms in Hanoi and Saigon. In Danang, a simple indoor bouldering gym opened in 2023.
Our goal is to look for and establish outdoor bouldering areas in and around Danang.
