First time?

Your first climbing session, alone

  • Intro or induction first. Many gyms ask newcomers to take a short safety induction or intro session before climbing freely. The card for each gym quotes what its own page says.
  • Shoes and chalk. Most gyms rent climbing shoes; bring socks and a water bottle. Check the gym page for rental prices, they are not listed on every card.
  • Bouldering vs. rope climbing. Bouldering is short routes over crash mats with no rope and no partner needed; rope climbing needs a belay partner or an auto-belay. If you come alone, bouldering or an intro course is the easiest start.
  • Community nights. Where a gym lists a social, community, women's or after-work night, it is shown on the card as stated on the gym's page. Dates and rules change, so confirm before you go.
  • Age and waiver. Gyms usually have their own age limits and a waiver or registration step; follow the gym's page.

How it works

Start climbing alone in Paris: how it works

  1. Pick a gym below and open its official page; check the intro session or community night, the price and the booking rule.
  2. Book or turn up as the page says, then borrow shoes and follow the safety briefing.
  3. Come alone: intro sessions and community nights are made for people who arrive without a group.
  4. Meet people in Meet & Mint before or after, and plan your next session together.

Can I try climbing in Paris if I have never climbed?

Yes. This page lists 10 gyms in Paris; 10 state a beginner intro, induction or course on their own page. You can come alone: for example Arkose Nation, Arkose Montmartre, Arkose Chevaleret.
