Public Boulder in Volkspark Friedrichshain (Friedrichshain)

Here in Berin, the popularity of climbing is growing fast, a sudden boom of the climbing sport has in the last years take over the city and every day more people is getting interested in climbing as a sport.

There are some Boulder and Climbing spots that are public, totally free and open air. Therefore, this are best during Summer, Autumn and Spring, but not so popular in Winter.

 Just by accident, I came across with this boulder in Friedrichshain, it is super nice, in a big open park.




I really liked this boulder, is has a wide variety of movements, and there are hold to help the novice, but apparently the idea of this boulder y to complete the traverse with using them, just using the "rocky" holds.

The wall is 3 meters tall, and it has a length of 110 meters. The entire length of the wall can be traversed and even continue to loop around it has many times as you can. Someone told me that there is people able to do 4 laps without getting off the wall. Pretty cool!. It is also possible to engage en the solution of various boulder problems.

The 110 meters long circumnavigation of the wall, posses an endurance challenge. When climbing without the plastic handles nor the top edge it can reach difficulties about UIAA 7+.







 The boulder is located in the Volkspark Friedrichshain.




The park is near the Landsberger Allee S-Bahnof. You can take the Tram M6 or M5 from there if you don't whant to walk. Also the Tram M10 and M8 reaches this point in Dayinger Straße and Landsberger Allee.
