MegaSTONE Experience
Yuna and her new rock climbing friends participated in an 80-minute full-course trial at MegaSTONE Climbing Gym, covering both bouldering and climbing. Reservations are required for these trials, and the gym thoughtfully provides detailed course instructions after booking, including clothing recommendations, parking information, and daytime itinerary details, allowing Yuna and her friends to be fully prepared.
From beginner to expert: the challenges and joys of bouldering
The course started with a bouldering experience. The coach explained each step very professionally and patiently, especially explaining the safety part in detail, so that Yuna and the novice friends could climb with confidence.
From basic bouldering rules to safe falling techniques, as well as how to read routes, use strength and footwork, the coach provides step-by-step guidance to ensure that everyone can gradually experience the joy of rock climbing in a safe environment.
MegaSTONE’s indoor bouldering area is 4.7 meters high, which allows for more diverse route options and provides Yuna with a more complete challenge.
The venue's routes are carefully planned, ranging from the simplest VB to the extremely challenging V8+. They also include island terrain, which is only available in a few rock climbing gyms. This makes climbing less monotonous and allows Yuna to experience the sense of concentration of using both hands and feet, and the sense of accomplishment of conquering the route!
It is worth mentioning that the unique down-climbing point design of this Xinzhuang rock climbing gym is a highlight. After climbing, you can easily find a safe down-climbing position, which is considerate and practical.
Challenging the limit of height: MegaSTONE's climbing experience is fully upgraded
The second part of the full experience course is the climbing experience. The coach explained,Bouldering and UpclimbingThe biggest difference is the height, so climbing up requires ropes for safety.
The instructor explained in detail the rules for wearing a safety harness and climbing, reminding everyone not to grab onto metal equipment while climbing and to use ropes to secure climbers. When Yuna reached the top, she held onto the same point with both hands and called "take," and the instructor immediately assisted in the rappel. The entire process was safe and smooth.
Throughout the climb, the instructor constantly encouraged the newbies to challenge themselves and build their confidence. This experience allowed them to deeply appreciate the difference in muscle use between bouldering and climbing. Ultimately, they successfully challenged themselves! After reaching the summit, the newbies couldn't wait to share their unprecedented excitement with Yuna. The excitement, fear, and fatigue that had accumulated with each climb were finally released at the moment of reaching the top.
Innovative interactive experience: China's first angle-adjustable Kilter Board
After the experience, Yuna and her novice friends went up to the second floor of MegaSTONE Climbing Gym, where they could find the country’s first expensively built adjustable angle Kilter Board!
Through the dedicated app and Bluetooth connection, Yuna can see the indicator lights for each route on the Kilter Board and adjust the angle and route according to the climber's needs, allowing the Kilter Board to provide climbers with richer and more diverse climbing challenges.
What’s even more interesting is that the app can connect with the routes designed by rock climbers around the world and even share their own climbing results, allowing Yuna to not only practice more skills but also interact with rock climbing enthusiasts from all over the world, adding a lot of fun.

During this experience, the instructor meticulously explained every step, from safety instructions to technique application, allowing Yuna to learn rock climbing in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Even Yuna's fellow beginners praised MegaSTONE's professional instruction, clean environment, and friendly atmosphere.
This experience deeply impressed Yuna that rock climbing isn't just about exercising your hands and feet; it also requires thinking about how to use limited rock holds to reach the finish line. This challenge, which allows you to utilize your body's freedom, brings a profound sense of accomplishment. It's far more exciting than a typical gym session! Yuna also discovered that as long as you're bold enough to try, you can truly immerse yourself in the joy of rock climbing.
