We will update this page every month with info on event’s, exceptions and offers we have going on and coming up. So remember to check this page a couple times a month to stay up to date on what’s happening at our gym!

Rope wall route re-set is under way. New routes are set during 11.-15.5. and 18.-19.5. Mon-Fri 11.-15.5. the rope climbing walls and main hall dressing rooms are out of use for the whole time. You can give the new routes a try during the weekend within opening hours. Mon-Tue the rope climbing walls and main hall dressing rooms are out of use until 16. Other walls and facilities are open as usual.
Rope cup part 2 will be competed during 16.-17.5. weekend. You can participate in the competition during the whole weekend during our opening hours. You can attempt on both days if you want to try and better your score. More info on the competition can be read here. The competition doesn’t prevent others from climbing in the hall!
Kids summer climbing camp is closing in! The camp has just come full but we will still have a couple spare spots available. You sign up to the spare spot by emailing our info. The camp will include guided program during 9-14.30 from Monday to Friday. The days include a wide variety of activities from climbing to more calmer things. The participants will get a warm lunch each day + some light snacks during the afternoon.
Belay device rules will be updated from 1.6. onwards. From June onwards, belaying with atc/tube-style passive devices isn’t allowed in our rope hall. You can use assisted devices such as Grigri, Smart, Revo, Pinch, Giga Jul and others like these. The same change is coming to other Finnish climbing gyms starting in August. The aim is to reduce the change of accidents in indoor rope climbing walls.
Yötön Yö-boulderfest is held again this year during 5.-7.6. in Rovaniemi Hiidenkirnu (devils churn) area. The event includes climbing on boulders and ropes, various challenges and other interesting program. You can read more on their event page here.
The registration is open until 24.5. Oulu Climbing centre participates in the event as a sponsor and we’ll be holding a climbing gear shop on site with all the critical stuff such as chalk, tape, crash pads and climbing shoes available. You can also preorder gear until 15.5. (gear which we have in shop can be ordered until 4.6.!). We will bring all the ordered gear to the event site. Preorders on gear we don’t have straight in the store are binding and you can pay it either in advance or on site. You can make orders through our info email.
On Wednesdays 3.6. and 8.7. we’ll organize a “Sauna & pizza” evening during 18-00. This means we’ll be making pizzas for everyone interested during the evening at our roof top terrace. You can join the sauna turn when you’ve either paid for a single entry or signed in with your 10x/month card/membership and pay 5 € for the sauna ticket. During the special evenings you can buy pizza for 10 €.
Summer pass is available again! With the pass you will get 3 months of climbing for the summer for a bit cheaper price. The pass includes the use of 24/7 boulder whenever you want! Do note that our main hall opening hours are a bit shorter during June and July. The summer pass is available until 15.6. at our front desk or for the regular price through our gymkeepper online shop.
During week 20 you will get -15 % off all Petzl products we have in our shop. We’re also gathering an order list if you want Petzl gear we don’t normally have in store!
June-July also brings great offer prices for example to guided climbing reservations, sauna and meeting floor reservations and to youths aged between 14-18 years single entry payments. You can check out the summer offers from here.
