A Summer to Remember: 2024 Climbing Camps in Fontainebleau
The 2024 climbing summer camp in Fontainebleau was nothing short of epic. From the first chalked-up handhold to the final evening by the bonfire, it was an experience that left everyone buzzing with energy and inspiration. Climbers of all levels pushed their limits on world-class boulders, guided by expert coaches who knew exactly how to unlock each person’s potential.
But it wasn’t just about climbing—it was about connection. We shared stories under the stars, fueled up with nourishing vegan meals, and cheered each other on through every tough ascent. The forest became our home, the community became our family, and the memories? Unforgettable.
If you missed it this year, make sure you don’t make the same mistake next time. Fontainebleau delivered, and we can’t wait to do it all over again!
Careless Talk with Tiba Vroom
We are super thrilled that our coach Tiba Vroom is this week’s guest in The Careless Talk Climbing Podcast. It’s a lovely conversation between Tiba, Aidan Roberts and Sam Prior about what it’s like to run a non-profit bouldering gym, what we mean with Holistic Climbing Coaching, the role of women in climbing, routesetting and boulder development, and a lot more! They also play some Desert Island Bouldering. So give it a listen and let us know what you think!
Conscious Climbing Retreat
This spring, we hosted our very first Outdoor Bouldering Retreat in the forest of Fontainebleau. Together with Zen Caravan, we put together a weekend program full of outdoor climbing, movement, meditation, wholesome meals and bonfires. Everything was there to connect to the nature and the people around us, and to our deepest selves within.

More than Gold
Six former top athletes share their lives for a week under the roof of the 14th-century castle Rechteren in Dalfsen. Marianne Timmer, Michael Boogerd, Henk Grol, Marlou van Rhijn, Gregory Sedoc and Nicolien Sauerbreij conduct real conversations in an intimate setting, without an interviewer or presenter. On the basis of photos of special moments from their sports and private lives, they relive highs and lows together.
Our coach Tiba Vroom had the opportunity to give Micael Boogerd and the other 5 former top athletes a climbing lesson in Groningen.
