About

Le Camp de Base

Le Camp de Base is a bouldering hall on the Chaussée de Boondael in Ixelles, built in a former garage and open since 2022. It's one of three halls the same team runs in Ixelles, about a kilometre apart: Le Camp d'Approche is for children and beginners, and Le Camp Avancé is for training. The bright, open hall has walls up to 5 metres high, with problems graded by colour for every level, from first-timers to competition climbers.

Beside the walls are a warm-up and strength area with pull-up bars and hangboards, a spray wall and a Güllich board, and a yoga room that climbers can use for stretching when no class is on. There's a sauna for up to six people and a bar with local drinks and snacks, with a pizza night on Wednesdays. Dogs are welcome, and there are lockers.

Good to know

  • Everyone needs a member account, even for a first visit; you can create one online beforehand. There's no need to book or take a course first.
  • Children under 12 aren't admitted: they climb at Le Camp d'Approche. Those aged 12 to 16 can climb with an adult, or on their own with parental permission recorded on their account.
  • Only liquid chalk is allowed, and everyone must wear a T-shirt or top.
  • Entry doesn't include personal accident insurance, so the hall advises taking out your own.

The team runs courses for young people aged 6 to 18 and for adults, private lessons and yoga classes, and a physiotherapist who specialises in climbing injuries works on site. The hall also hosts competitions, including the Master of Fire, back on 27 and 28 November 2026, and a stage of the European Boulder Cup in 2025.
