Autobelays enable you to climb safely even without a climbing partner, or extensive belaying experience. Short instruction and reading of guidelines placed directly on the wall suffice for you and your children to climb safely.

Vertigo has currently 19 autobelays available. They are easily recognisable by large yellow triangular or orange square sheets located at the bottom of the relevant lines.

At the time of your first visit, ask reception for assistance. Our staff will show you the location of autobelay units and explain their functioning.

Kids Corner

Children can present their works of art on a large chalkboard available in the area.

Just like in all parts of Vertigo, here too, children must be accompanied by an adult person at all times.

Kid boulders: marked with the “KIDS” sign. The distance between holds is adjusted for kids and shorter climbers. However, they may challange others too, exactly due to this specific setting

Other: state of the art landing area with add on mats. The space includes system boards – Kilter Board and Moon Board, as well as 20 m long monkey bars.

Our playful boldering room is completely covered with mats, which reates an excellent space for various movement training. This is regularly used in both group and individual trainings.

16 x 12 Kilter Board

Size: 16 x 12

Angle: Adjustible from 35 – 70 degrees

Holds: Original layout

Should Kilter Board be an unknown for you, it is about the time to get acquainted. Kilter Board is an adjustible wall with backlit holds. Using an app, it is possible to light up boulders is desired difficulty and angle.

Just download the Kilter Board app and you will gain access to a global community of climbers sharing progress, projects and insights.

Youl can climb existing boulders, or create and upload new ones. There are 20000 boulders to choose from and the number grows constantly.

And the best thing about our Kilter Board is its unique spatious and safe positioning, with no limitations from other climbers around. In immediate vicinity, there is our Moon Board, so you can fluently transit between both system boards.

40 degree Moon Board

Angle: 40 degrees

Holds: complete set 2024, including wooden holds

Moon Board is a fixed system board with a 40 degree angle. Using the Moon Climbing app allows you to light up boulders in desired grade 6b+ and harder.

The aim of Moon Board training is the improvement of overall power, as well as of specific finger strength. The app joins a global community of climbers sharing and evaluating boulders.

Shouls you use Kilter Board or Moon Board? Moon Board is more demanding with harder boulders.

Both system boards are located next to each other with a generous space around them, so there is no need to decide where to train. You can transit from one to the other at any time.

20 m Monkey Bar

In the centre of our playful bouldering area, there are the unique monkey bars in two distinct profiles – each 10 meters long.

If you think you can handle anything, this the right challenge for you. One, by one, double handed, skipping bars, there are endless combinations that challenge both beginners and advanced climbers.

Should the bars be not enough for you, there are add on obstacles mounted on the bars for the extra challenge.

The untire structure is above a continuous padded area with add on mats for extra safety.

Rope Climbing

Rope climbing represents a wonderful way how to regard the world from high up.

Profiles variety in the respective Vertigo sectors provides enough room for beginners, weekend climbers, experts and children alike.

To make it all easier for you, we set routes in holds of one colour. Difficulty of routes is defined in the UIAA grading system – i.e. the lower the number, the easier the route. We start from 4.

Most of the 1450 m2 of climbing surface reach a height of 12 m. We have a gallery with lower, 8 metres high walls. There, top ropes and autobelays are installed on all lines. This makes the gallery into an ideal place for beginners and children.

However, we also have a beautiful colourful profile with animal holds for children. And maybe for adults too.

Top ropes are also available in other places around the centre. They may be used by all centre visitors, just like autobelays.

Two sectors feature overhanging profiles. However, this should not discourage anybody. Easy routes on huge holds can be found here too. Should the vertical walls be occupied, it is time to start with overhangs.

Current information on routes, climbs, route evaluation by other climbers, or own training diary – all this and more can be found in the Ascendo app used for routes designation. Just download the app into your smartphone and start using it.

Bouldering

Climbing Centre Vertigo also offers a 320 m2 bouldering wall.

Profiles cover the entire spectrum – from slabs and vertical walls, through slight to large overhangs. A 45-degree wall is a must.

The free standing boulder mostly features easier, playful problems.

Most of the bouldering area is set with boulders in one colour. To keep it interesting for you, we reset one sector every week.

Our grading system consists of four colours – from the easiest yellow ones, through blue, red to the hardest black boulders.

Modern mats and add on pads will make your falls comfortable. However, care and spotting should not be omitted, since the best mat cannot take a head first fall from 4 metres.

Gear Rental

No gear of your own? No problem. You can rent everything necessary.

Basic gear necessary for climbing includes climbing shoes, harness, belaying devise (provided you area already trained in belaying), possibly chalk and helmet.

Climbing partners with significant weight difference are recommended to use ohm, a devise we also have available in our rental section.

Shop and Snack Bar

Our shop is small, but it features a great sellection of everything a climber’s heart desires – climbing shoes (SCARPA, OCUN, LA SPORTIVA) , harnesses (BLUE ICE, EDELRID, OCUN), hardware, ropes and chalk. The last is a topic on its own and a true science choosing the correct chalk. Therefore, we offer several brands, so everybody can choose – TOKYO, OCUN, FRICTION LABS, MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING.

For training and recovery, we have various hangboards, balms, tape, power training aids, ….

We also feature climbing fashion, since it is not enough to be a good climber, you also need to be a good looking climber.

Good coffee makes any day brighter. Soft drinks, draft beer and kofola, pizza, snacks and fresh cakes every day – you will find it in our bar. Combined with pleasant atmosphere of our reception area, your after climb time could not be better.
