🧗 ♂️ Tip 8 - Bouldering at Friluftshuset

The bouldering room at Frilufshuset at Sørenga is open every day from 10:00-17:00 (open until 19:00 on Tuesdays). 

🤔 What is bouldering?
Bouldering is climbing on low walls without ropes - if you fall, you land on huge, soft chunks. If you are new to bouldering, this is an easy activity to get into that continues to offer new challenges even if you are already practiced in it. It requires nothing more than clothes you can move in and climbing shoes, these can be rented from us if you do not already have them. A fun activity for everyone!
