The boulders will remain on the wall for a couple of weeks in order for you to try them yourself. There are already some pictures on our FaceBook-page but soon you’ll find a good collection of photo’s on this site as well.

In the meantime we start with the preparations for the NSK Boulder (Dutch Students Championship Boulder) that’s scheduled for Saturday 1 June. We organise this championship together with Yeti. There are already 90+ applies while there are only 100 places! Should you like to apply, don’t wait too long!

The introduction lesson scheduled for Fridaynight 3 May is fully booked, there are some places left for the introduction lesson of Fridaynight 17 May. Please apply soon should you be interested as you only have to pay the entrance fee for the introduction and guidance. Please bring clean indoor sportshoes with you, otherwise you’ll have to rent climbing shoes.

Because of the activities around building the trainings wall, the competions Boulder 1 and Jeugd Boulder 2 we simply lacked the time to build a new slackline area. During the next couple of weeks we’ll be working on that so you’ll be able to slackline again soon. We keep you posted on the progress!

We have been selling Five Ten shoes for some time now. Recently we’ve added some La Sportiva models to our collection: Cobra, Solution and Future. Soon we’ll start with selling clothes from the summer line of Chillaz. News about this collection will be published on this site and on FaceBook soon.

Last but not least: our goodwill discount on the entrance fee on showing your valid NKBV-card will be cancelled per 1 June next. We’ll continue giving a discount with a valid TU-sport card.

We wish everyone a lot of fun on the historical last Queensday. Please note in your agenda that we’ll be closed for Ascension (9 May) and Whit Monday (20 May).

Been wanting to Slackline for a while? But can’t control the shaking? Don’t know how to start? Or you want to start doing tricks, but don’t know how? Want to surprise everybody in the spring when you slackline?

In February Jonas Konijnenberg of the Slacktivity slackline team will give 4 lessons on monday night (4, 11, 18 and 25) in Bouldercentrum Delfts Bleau.

Jonas can be found on a slackline almost every day. In November he was in Switzerland training indoor for a month and doing some highline projects. He’s one of the better trickliners in The Netherlands, but he is also very interested in highlining. Jonas almost finished his education to become a gym teacher, so you can expect a course with truly added value.

At 19.00 the lesson for beginners start, with these lessons you will first learn the basics of slacklining: balancing, walking and a couple of static tricks.

Om 20.30 the lesson for the experienced/advanced slackliner starts. In this lesson you will learn everything that goes beyond the basics: Static tricks, dynamic tricks en footjumps. If you’re able to easily walk up and down, you have the right level for this course.

Apply in advance, there is only space for 6 persons per course! So be on time… You can apply with the form below.

Participation costs € 30,- for all 4 lessons. If you want to boulder before or after the course, the entrance is € 5,- per night.

As an extra, if you participate in this course, you can buy a Slacktivity slackline with a 20% discount! That means you can have the Allround-2 slackline for only € 89,95 in stead of € 109,- and the Experience for only € 114,95 in stead of  € 139,-

The year only just started and already there are a couple of events scheduled:

Friday 18 January 19.30h a free introduction lesson bouldering. The ideal way to start bouldering! More information is to be found here

The next event is on Thursday 24 January: Bouldering with DJ’s. This time with DJ I.VO.D and DJ Pofzak! We start at 19.00h.

In February, the Monday nights are reserved for 4 follow-up slackline workshops, for both beginners and advanced slackliners. More info and a form to subscribe will follow soon, but put the dates in your agenda!

Another one for your agenda are two national competitions organised in Bouldercentrum Delfts Bleau: Saturday 30 March Boulder 1 and Saturday 27 April Youth Boulder 2. The complete competition calendar is to be found on the NKBV website.

bouldering until 20.00h tonight as we close the doors at that timeslot, looking back to a magnificent year. A year in which a dream was realised with the help of Axis, Vertigo, family, friends, colleagues and lots of volunteers. There’s still some dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s to do, which we’ll take care of in 2013. And off course we’ll take care of organising great competitions, (slackline) workshops, kidsparty’s and most importantly: building challenging and beautiful boulders! We wish you all a healthy and sportive 2013!
