You&#8217;ll get to know the different types of holds and learn the basics of balance, foot placement, movement, and the difference between static and dynamic climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this solid foundation, you\u2019ll be ready to tackle more boulders or move on to our&nbsp;<em>Progression<\/em>&nbsp;course to further develop your skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boulder Basics: Progression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already picked up some technique and are moving more smoothly on the wall, it\u2019s time to level up with our Boulder Basics: Progression course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course skips the basic instructions covered in the Introduction course and instead focuses on refining your technique. We\u2019ll go more in-depth with topics from the&nbsp;<em>Introduction<\/em>&nbsp;course, such as footwork and body positioning, and you\u2019ll face more challenging drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the beginner courses is \u20ac70 for four lessons, which includes rental shoes and two bonus handouts: a PDF with a warm-up routine and technique exercises. (Please note, the entrance fee is not included in this amount).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have two lessons per week: Wednesdays and Thursdays from 20:00 to 21:30. When you sign up for one of the courses, you\u2019ll start at the beginning of the following month and attend on that day for four weeks.
