If you’re looking for a new challenge, Clymb Abu Dhabi has got you covered. The indoor adventure hub has announced four new and upgraded climbing routes, including The Boulder, The Intermediate, The Advance and the Summyt.
The new routes cover various styles, each composed from a unique placement of climbing holds that come in a range of different shapes and sizes. The routes offer a wide variety of choices that suit all levels, ranging from beginners to professional.
“Although Clymb Abu Dhabi has only been open for nine months, it’s never too soon to look for new ways to enhance the guest experience. The addition of the new climbing routes means that our climbers have more options to choose from, regardless of their level of experience,” said Bianca Sammut, acting head of Yas Theme Parks.
“Select routes have also been enhanced to provide climbers with the awe-inspiring sensation of climbing outdoors. We can’t wait for guests to try out these new routes for themselves.”
Clymb Abu Dhabi was recently recognised with two Guinness World Records for the largest indoor skydiving wind tunnel and the world’s tallest indoor climbing wall.
At 42.16 metres, the climbing wall is the pinnacle of the purpose-built centre, which has five climbing areas in total. As well as the record-breaking summit, there's also a 20-metre advanced wall, a 10-metre intermediate wall, a six-metre beginner wall and a bouldering area that spans 56 metres.
Beginner climbers can book a 60-minute introductory session that includes instructor supervision and access to what is known as The 3 Peaks route – the bouldering wall, beginner wall and intermediate climbing slope. All gear is included and is sanitised after each use.
