Our Climbing and Bouldering Facilities
The climbing and bouldering facilities at the TUM Campus in the Olympic Park include an indoor and outdoor area.
Indoor
The indoor climbing hall offers about 100 routes on 770 m² of climbing space, from inclusion to popular sport to high-end performance routes, on 40 belay lines up to a height of 13.50 metres. The varied terrain - vertical walls, intersections, pillars, edges, easy and strong overhangs - is generously distributed among the three sectors, course, popular sport and performance area. The innovative Clift Climbing System is currently installed on one of our two Auto-Belay lines (instruction required!) and delights with dynamic interactive tracking, games and analysis.
Above the training and therapy room, which is equipped with a campus board, moonboard, system wall and therapy wall, is the bouldering gallery. On 165 m² of climbing space, you will find about 50 movement problems of all levels and styles.
Outdoor
The outdoor climbing facility is embedded in the green and quiet Olympic Park in a unique ambience. The 570 m² climbing area of the "Twins" faces in all directions, with shady or sunny sides at all times of the day. The sculpture, which opens conically towards the top with a large archway, offers about 70 routes on 37 belay lines in the vertical, but mainly in slightly to strongly overhanging wall slopes. When it rains, only the lee side remains largely dry.
Next to the "Twins" is the "Blockseminar" in a similar design - our outdoor bouldering area, which offers 275 m² of bouldering space (also oriented in all exposures) and varied terrain. The jump and fall areas are equipped with soft floors.

Booking procedure - What is needed for the free climbing or bouldering training?
1. Eligibility
The prerequisite for participation in ZHS sports is the Basic Ticket , which must be purchased per semester.
2. Bouldering and climbing authorisation
Boulder authorisation: you do not need a special authorisation for free bouldering, you only need to buy Ticket B per semester.
The climbing authorisation serves as proof of basic competence in belaying and dealing with the risks involved in indoor climbing and is a prerequisite for acquiring
theTicket-K .
Options for obtaining climbing authorisation:
Are you a beginner and want to learn how to belay and climb? - Then you can take one of our complete courses (see: Link)
Are you already a reliable lead climber? Then you have the following options:
1. successful participation in one of our courses in the belay update / K authorisation category (see Link)
2. successful completion of one of our climbing technique training courses A/F/L (see Link)
3. presentation of a lead climbing certificate from another institution (alpine clubs e.g. DAV, ÖAV, SAC, AVS, IG-Klettern, Naturfreunde, mountain school, climbing hall) with a minimum of 12 hours of instruction and lead climbing belaying.
4. presentation of proof of a trainer licence for sport climbing or alpine tours, state-certified mountain and ski guide, army mountain guide, mountain guide candidate, completed mountain rescue training
How do you submit your certificate to obtain the climbing licence?
If you receive your climbing licence (lead climbing licence) in one of our courses, you don't have to do anything else yourself. Our course instructors will do this for you.
To submit external proof, please send a scan or photo of your proof by email to: kba.dienst.zhs.tum@gmail.com
Please use the same (!) email address that you use for your ZHS course bookings so that we can process your enquiry as quickly as possible.
3. Ticket K (= climbing) and Ticket B (= bouldering)
Attention avoid booking without having the authorisation beforehand, because a refund of the costs is unfortunately not possible.
If the authorisation mentioned under 2. is available, the Ticket K can be booked.
Ticket B can be booked without prerequisite. Instruction will be given on site.
The respective ticket entitles the holder to use the climbing and bouldering facility (Ticket K) or the bouldering facility only (Ticket B).
This is used by the ZHS to finance route construction, maintenance and repair work, thus maintaining the attractiveness and quality of the climbing and bouldering facility.
4. ZHS Card and validation
After you have submitted your K authorisation and purchased the Basic Ticket and additionally the Ticket K or Ticket B, you can validate your ZHS Card (Link) at the machine to the right of the Infopoint. The current semester and the letter of the booked ticket "K" or "B" will be printed on it.
5. Check-in on site
At the start of your training, you show our staff your booking confirmation for the K or B ticket. The easiest way to do this is with your validated ZHS Card with the letter printed on it. If you do not have your ZHS Card with you, you must show the confirmation email of the ticket booking. For free climbing with a rope, it is mandatory to prove your climbing authorisation once on site. The easiest way to do this is to use the "K" printed on your ZHS Card. Otherwise, you must have proof of your climbing authorisation with you
Training slots & respectful cooperation
Training timeslots
With the purchase of Ticket K or Ticket B, a booking confirmation will be sent containing the link to book training timeslots .
Note: Ticket K or Ticket B entitles you to book timeslots free of charge, but does not give you priority access to the course.
The climbing or bouldering facility may only be entered with a booked time slot
If a time slot cannot be taken, we kindly ask for cancellation as soon as possible out of fairness to the other interested parties. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life the cancellation can be forgotten, in this case we will remind you once. For the following times we reserve the right to block your slot booking for two weeks.
At the same time we ask you to book only ONE slot (on ONE of the facilities) after 6:30 pm to make climbing our walls possible for all users. In case of fully booked slots we reserve the right to cancel double bookings. If there is still capacity after your booked slot (in the morning - in the afternoon for sure, in the evening mostly), you can simply extend your slot on site at the facility service!
We ask for your understanding if the facility has to be closed spontaneously due to illness of the facility manager. You will receive an email as soon as possible informing you that your booking/slot for the day in question has been cancelled. If you do not read the info mail and are faced with closed doors on site, we regret this and ask you not to enter the facilities. In this case, the gate will check the facilities
During the free training, the participants show consideration for each other; this applies in particular during the climbing courses of the ZHS and therapeutic climbing. At route construction times, the respective sections or even the entire facility are closed for free training.
