Gu opens up a new bouldering gym in Vorarlberg
Guntram Jรถrg, an active FA boulderer who has done ten 8B+'s and harder, is opening up a gym, Steinblock in Vorarlberg in the western part of Austria this Saturday. 571 m2 of climbing walls, including children and training areas.
"I try to involve young people in this project which are climbers. They should have a place to work and a spot to meet. Steinblock is not created by a marketing agency itยดs a boulderers brand. People should feel the power of bouldering in our Steinblock bouldering gym. Kids should start bouldering and get the chance to start climbing at a really young age. Itยดs really easy to start climbing in a gym when you are young but climbing outside is more difficult. You need a car, you need to travel, you need a lot of time. This is not possible for everybody and that is the reason why we need a bouldering gym like this. Video from Gargellen located in the Vorarlberg."
