Innsbruck has long been an adventurer heaven. In the history of climbing, the city breathe in the culture of mountain climbing in addition to many outdoor pursuit. Innsbrucks provide vertical playgrounds to climbers of all abilities, from simple bouldering opportunities to Calwendel limestone cliffs. We have climbed a little in the past, but we are very beginners, so we are ready to find ourselves at the K1 Climbing Center and test our skills with low -level bouldering.
The K1 Climbing Center, which opened in May 2017, is a modern dedicated center with spacious interiors. The center has a variety of abilities because the wall has reached up to 17 meters.
Thankfully, we were bouldering at a low level, so we only needed to climb the shoes. Rope, harness, us, wall and gravity … and land with a lot of pads.
In order to guide us through sessions, we were fortunate to give birth to Mira, a German instructor living in Innsbruck.
We start with some warm -up exercises, we are growing enough, so shake your arms, roll your wrist, and touch your toes (the latter is not very good!). We have begun to cross a part of the wall (a kind of type!).
Mira encouraged me to try various techniques, such as shifting my weight smoothly and approaching the wall, showing how to switch my body when making a traverse.
Our first attempt was quite annoying and not so elegant, but we made a little progress in practice, moved to another section on the wall, and tried a boulderin glute marked with different colors according to the difficulty. I did it.
There are kaleidoscope with various issues. I was able to complete one or 2 with my grades, but grade 3 is beyond me. Mira, an instructor of the patient, provided advice and encouragement while working on overhang and more complex sequences.
And when our session approached the end, our muscles hurt, but we left a satisfactory sense of accomplishment. Bouldering was certainly challenging us, but it was definitely fun and rewarding for a few hours. In a place like Innsbrucks where mountains are invited and mountaineering culture prosper, the joy of expanding the new height is never far away.
