Summary

Guided bouldering session & wall climbing in Bodø gym

What’s the experience like?

“You’ll want to chalk up,” our instructor joked as we tightened our harnesses, the faint thud of sneakers on mats echoing around the bright gym. Mørkvedhallen Klatresenter was buzzing—kids on the slackline, a couple laughing over coffee, someone landing softly on the trampoline nearby. We started with a quick tour through the different climbing areas, each wall looking taller up close than I’d expected.

Getting into the harness felt strange at first—kind of like putting on a backpack backwards—but our guide made sure everything fit right before showing us how to use the autobelay system. The safety briefing was clear but relaxed; she pointed out which routes were best for beginners and which ones would test your nerves if you wanted a challenge. I could smell fresh coffee drifting from the café every time I paused to shake out my arms.

After my third climb, my fingers needed a break, so I joined some locals by the window for a snack and watched others tackle routes that looked impossible from below. There was no rush; people came and went, some staying just an hour, others making a whole afternoon of it. By the end, I’d made it higher than I thought possible—and honestly, that first moment looking down from the top was worth every shaky step up.
