If you have been to the ticket office to have your ticket scanned, you have the opportunity to store your personal belongings in lockers, which we provide free of charge. There is also the possibility to make use of the toilet. Then you will be called to put on the climbing harness. This is done under the supervision of our instructors who will tell you exactly tell you exactly how to put on the climbing harness. The instructor will then check whether you have done this correctly. After this you will get an explanation about the climbing, the different courses and with which materials you can undertake certain activities. After the explanation you go over our 'practice course' for a while and then you head for the starting point of the courses. Here you connect to our exploglider system which secures you at all times and the climbing can begin! begin! You have 2 hours to climb.

The ExpoGlider system is a safety system where the lifeline is attached from the first point you go up. During the course it is attached to the steel cable above the elements. Only at the end of the course can it be disconnected again. This way, you are continuously secured during the climbing activity and you only have to manoeuvre the ExpoGlider through the bends. There is no need to uncouple and uncouple during climbing, like the authentic system.
