Climbing/Bouldering Gym/Indoor Wall
Climbing/Bouldering Gym/Indoor Wall
I have just moved to Singapore. It has been two weeks and I have not climbed. Feeling like I need get back on a wall. Can anyone recommend some climbing walls to do some training? I currently live in the east coast. So local would be better.
Thanks
Thanks

I have now tried out two locations in Singapore. Kinetic and Onsight.
My findings are as follows:
Kinetic, appears to be more/better organised with the routes listed on their webpage as well as clear indication what routes are new (on the web page). The marking is also a little bit easier, they mark the route with a coloured tape. The start and end are marked with a chevron and the route itself with a single tape. That makes it easier to follow. Unfortunately they have a limited number of coloured tapes and therefore used combination such as blue tape with a small red dot or a small yellow stripe. This sounds like a good idea but I found that it was slightly confusing, as the small dots or stripes are not easy to see. It only works fine if climbs of the same “difficulty”

Hi. I have offically gotten my gear. I have lacrosse practice on Saturdays but Sundays if you want to climb I am in. I don't know the area very well so I would need directions from the Somersert MRT. Let me know if you are up for some climbing. My personal email is lauren.vlad@gmail.com
