Zone Climbing Trabzon

Bouldering in Ortahisar

Zone Climbing was founded in July 2025 in the Pelitli neighbourhood of Ortahisar, Trabzon's central district, and bills itself as the city's first private bouldering gym. Its 180 m² climbing area has walls 4.5 metres high above the matting, with more than 50 problems up at any one time, from beginner level to advanced. New problems go up every two weeks, so there is always something fresh to work on.

Coaching

Coaching is led by three experienced sport climbing coaches with route-setting backgrounds, two of whom are partners in the gym. They teach one-to-one and group lessons, from first moves and basic technique through to performance training for stronger climbers, and run programmes designed for children and teenagers. Younger climbers have their own safe area, with problems set for them.

The team also offers guided rock climbing on natural rock, with the basics and safety skills for newcomers and harder, more technical routes for experienced climbers.
