Delfts Bleau

As of Saturday 2 February Tinus Koorn will teach Pralaya Yoga.

The training starts at 10.15h and will take 1,5 hours. The training focusses on strenghtening the muscles of the most important joints of the body and will improve the flexibility while the risk of injuries is reduced. Attention will also be paid to the flexibility and the alignment of the spine.

Do we hear you thinking “shame, that’s something I can’t do as I’m not flexible at all”? Good news for you! You don’t have to be flexible or bendy to benefit from this training. So, if your hamstrings are really short you should join!

This training costs €45. Tinus takes up at least 4, and 8 trainees max. Don’t be too late and sign up!

This year starts with new prices due to the tax raises. The entrance fees will be raised per 1 February 2019, other new prices are valid as of today.

The NKBV (Nederlandse Klim-en Bergsport Vereniging) has published the calendar for the national competition last month (only available in dutch wedstrijdkalender). Should you intend competing this year, you might want to put 2 February for Boulder 1 at Monk Rotterdam and 8 February for db9 in your calendar.

The Bleau Technique Training starts per 7 January (dutch edition, if you like to join an English edition please send us a message and as soon as we have 4 applicants we’ll schedule an English edition of the training) and the Bleau Fit Training continues per Thursday 3 January.  Do you want to train harder? Please apply for the Bleau Biceps in combination (optional) with Bleausard. The dates for these trainings will be published soon which also applies for Yoga by Tinus Koorn.

Young climbers: for Youth JAB we’re organising the DBIYO on 30 & 31 March 2019. This second edition promisses to be a busy one as competitors from outside Europe already have registered! The competition is set up for Youth JAB, for Youth C (2nd years C) we’ll look into the option of letting them join as well (on dispensation request). This will depend on the number of competitors Youth JAB.

It is going to be a very nice year!

Christmas, the time to spend time with family and friends. To survive 2 days without bouldering you ought to visit the Open DJ Night on Thursday 20 December!

On Monday 24 December (Christmas Eve) we’re open from 10h until 18h.
We’re closed both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, but on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 December you don’t have to wait until 16h as we open both days at 13h.

On New Years Eve we’re open from 10h until 18h, on New Years Day we’re closed.

Merry Christmas!

Just a couple of weeks to go and 2018 will be gone!

Friday 30 November we host the last db9 of this year, with the kids edition on Saturday 1 December. If you cannot join the db9 on Friday you can always give those special boulders a try up and until Sunday. All db9 boulders will be taken down on Monday 3 December.

Sinterklaas, Christmas….presents! We sell al kinds of stuff your climbingpartner would be very happy to be surprised with. Chalk, tape, chalkbags, bouldering clothes, we have it all. And we gift wrap your present as well, does it come any easier?

Lately the media has discovered bouldering as well. Obviously one could say as it is such a fun sport to do! We’ve noticed that groups spontanously drop by, often at busy timeslots and it’s such a pity we have to deny them access. If you have a group of 5 or more persons it’s mandatory to book a timeslot including an instructor. Avoid disappointment and make an appointment okay?

Do you really want to improve this winterperiod, so you’re ready for your project as soon as the weather conditions are? Or just to move up a color to gain access to a new range of boulders?

Trainings for all levels start in November. For people who would like to have some more technique or who finally want to see the whole of the picture and are currently climbing at least level pink, there is  Bleau Technique. For the people who master the basic techniques sufficiently to climb the limes smoothly, but are lacking power to climb the next levels, we have Bleau Biceps. You learn how to increase your strenght with functional (aimed at and based on climbing) exercises. For those who already master the basic techniques, who are strong enough to climb black boulders and would like to learn or polish advanced techniques we have the Bleausard training. For everybody who would like to get fit for and by bouldering we have the Bleau Fit training. With this training you climb a lot combined with doing exercises which will improve the control over your body and your coordination.

We also asked yoga teacher Tinus Koorn to prepare a special 4 weeks yoga course for climbers as a try out on Saturday mornings in November at 10.15. The main focus of the course will be on strengthening the muscles around the major joints in order to increase flexibility and prevent injury. We will also be working on aligning the spine and increasing mobility of the spine. You do not have to be flexible to join, so if you have short hamstrings and tight glutes don’t worry. This course costs €40,- for all four lessons. You can sign up with the form below, there is only room for 8 participants, so don’t wait too long.

Both the black and the lime circuits have been set differently and are therefore graded accordingly. With the resetting of mint on Friday 3 August the switch will be completed.

Don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly not able to top all the lime boulders : )

Summer is here! The fans are blowing, youth trainings are on hold until September and there are some things you might want to take into account:

Physiotherapist Jelle is absent due to holidays from 30 July up and until 19 August;
Sportmasseuse Loes is absent in July and August;
There are no introduction lessons on 6, 13 and 20 July.

The Dutch National Championships Boulder is scheduled for Saturday 7 July in the Apollohallen in Amsterdam. Local Don van Laere is competing and so Team Delfts Bleau will be there to support him. The gym is therefore closed as of 17h, including bar, cooling down area and training area. Tickets are still available, so will we see you there?

Enjoy the summer!

The qualifcations on Saturday will not be streamed, we try to go live on Facebook every now and then to keep parents, family and coaches back home posted.

The finals will have a livestream which will start at 8.30h with the finals of the Girls B.
