Tromsø Klatresenter

Tromsø Klatresenter

Tromsø Klatresenter is a roped climbing and bouldering centre at Templarheimen, in the same building as Tromsøbadet and sharing its entrance. It is run by Tromsø Klatresenter AS and shares its website with Tromsø Klatreklubb, the local climbing club, whose members pay lower prices. The walls range from 3 to 17.5 metres high, with lead and top-rope routes, auto-belays, a bouldering area and a small bouldering wall for children.

Climbing

• Routes and boulders are graded from 4+ to 8A+ and listed in the Vertical Life app.
• Rope routes are reset four days a week and boulders every Thursday, with a small section closed while the setters work.
• Auto-belays let you climb the high walls without a partner or belay card, after a short introduction from staff.
• Family climbing on Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00, with instructors on hand to help.

Belaying and courses

To belay on a rope here you need a Brattkort or a top-rope card (topptaukort), including when belaying children. Tests run every week, and a weekend beginners' course (NOK 1,600, age 13 and over) includes the Brattkort test and two weeks' free entry. Courses are usually taught in Norwegian, with help in English when needed.

Visiting

Drop-in visitors are welcome and can hire shoes, harnesses and other gear; everyone reads the safety rules and signs a declaration first. Children under 13 must be supervised by an adult. Season and punch cards also give access to the Puls Treningssenter gym. Buses 20 and 24 stop at Templarheimen, a short walk uphill, and the centre is wheelchair accessible.
