Frequently asked questions

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.

A block takes 2.5 hours including instruction. The instruction including putting on the materials takes about half an hour. So you have at least 2 hours to climb.

No, after the instructions you choose the course you want to start with. You have 2 hours and the possibility to do several courses.

Should you decide not to climb, your entry fee will not be refunded. If you are halfway down the course and don't know how to continue, our experienced instructors will give you tips and help you as best they can.

Damage to clothing is at your own risk. This also applies to your glasses, for example: we therefore advise you to bring sports glasses or to make sure that there is a cord attached to your glasses.
