[Evaluation of Jiao Climbing Gym] Experience the Olympic-level rock wall, and the double stores in the urban area have new challenges every week

The rock wall design uses cut-out collages of wooden floors, and uses the same new rock wall design method as the Tokyo Olympic bouldering competition that has no main screw holes.
Not only does it reduce the thickness of the rock wall, but the rock points are not restricted by the main screw holes. There are more choices in position and angle when setting the alignment, which expands the climbing area; and in order to increase the stability of the rock blocks, the angle climbing gym is even more Adding auxiliary screws to the rock points will eliminate safety concerns such as turning points when the main screws are missing.

When bouldering, most novices often face the dilemma of neither advancing nor retreating.

The Jiao Climbing Hall also has a specially designed and exclusive lower climbing point. The designed downward pointing golden arrow is matched with the wooden floor rock wall, allowing climbers to find the lower climbing point more quickly after climbing; and the bouldering mat design is embedded in the ground. , reducing the height difference with the floor, not only makes it easier to enter and exit the bouldering area, but also prevents you from losing your footing when landing on the bouldering. It can be said to be a very novice-friendly rock climbing venue.

As for the surrounding facilities, Yuna was also impressed.

For example, the electronic membership system without invoices is used for admission, and combined with LINE's paperless system, the re-entry process can be simpler and faster; free password-locked lockers are provided, allowing climbers to feel more secure and burden-free. Activities in the museum; or a separate foot-washing pool to provide more privacy when washing feet.

Through various designs and optimizations, you can feel the dedication of the Jiao Climbing Hall to the entire rock climbing experience, and every link is unexpectedly considerate.

There are a total of 60 routes in three areas of Jiao Climbing Gym Zhongshan Branch. The complete slab balance wall, 8-meter-wide 30-degree and 15-degree vertical walls, and 60-degree Overhang hanging rock terrain are not available in Huashan Branch. Rock wall topography and angles.

Yuna uses single-entry climbing at the Jiao Climbing Gym Zhongshan store. As soon as you enter the Zhongshan store, you will see a large balance wall.

Unlike other Taipei climbing gyms where the balance walls are very high, Yuna feels that the height of the Zhongshan store is very suitable for people who want to climb the balance wall but are afraid of heights, so they don’t have to worry about falling from too high a height.

Regardless of whether you have rock climbing experience or not, the concept of safe landing will be taught or assessed when entering for the first time to ensure that every climber can be safer when climbing and landing.

In addition, the Jiao Climbing Hall also places seating areas along the periphery of the rock wall so that people who have not climbed on the wall can observe the route in the seating area. Clear bouldering mats can make climbers safer when landing.

The Zhongshan store has routes from VB to V30+ for both the balanced wall, the 60-degree outward tilt wall, and the innermost 8-degree overhanging rock terrain, so both novices and veterans can experience the routes of different rock walls.

Yuna feels that compared to other bouldering climbing gyms in Taipei, the climbing routes at the Jiao Climbing Hall have more coherent and delicate movements. The route style requires the brain to decipher, and is not a route that can be climbed simply by relying on brute force.

There are 48 routes in total in the rock wall of the Huashan branch of the Jiao Climbing Gym. The composite rock wall in the two areas includes the Slab balance that is usually found in Taipei rock climbing venues, as well as the Overhang hanging rock and the 20-degree Vertical slightly cambered wall.

The routes of both stores cover the simplest VB to V8+. Since Yuna first went to the Huashan store to take the Taipei bouldering experience class, and then went to the Zhongshan store to enter the climbing, so it is obvious that the two branches complement each other on the rock wall.

Yuna participated in a 50-minute bouldering experience course this time. From the most basic bouldering concept and safe landing posture, to judging routes, using strength and using footwork skills, the coach will teach step by step carefully.

The coaches at Jiao Climbing Hall are all very experienced, and each one of them is a senior in Taiwan’s rock climbing industry.

Yuna felt that compared to usual bouldering with friends, under the guidance of a coach that day, the coach could see her weaknesses in rock climbing at a glance, and could always point out Yuna’s blind spots in her movements in a timely manner, so as to reduce unnecessary movements on the wall. It also teaches Yuna to judge the route and grabbing points more efficiently, accurately grasp and perform the actions designed by the route setter.
