KI - Kletterzentrum Innsbruck — Local services in Innsbruck

The climbing gym is awesome, especially the lead and speed wall, inside and outside. The bouldering wall is nice, but they should have more attention to the problems setting. Some are not that cool and mainly, they set holds too mixed wich makes the climbing disturbed, where you have to climb with some others boulder holds disturbibg you. The upstairs room is full of holds, wich is very good. But the whole bouldering area is too much dirty with magnesium and also, they dont provide brushs to clean the holds (i sugest to bring yours. They have it to sell, but it costs 8€ each!) , wich are always melting, dirty and with a poor texture. During the summer, they seems not turn on the air conditioning, wich makes the enviroment too hot and smelling bad. The restaurant is awful. Its too expensive and some people from the staff are not polite and kind. They dont know how to surve the customers properly, they dont have patience and they dont know about the menu and prices. The food os ok. My last day in the gym, i was with two other friends who were having coffee and cake, i started to eat a food wich were not from their kitchen and I will have a dessert, when one lady from the staff came to me and asked me to leave because i couldn't eat food wich were not from their kitchen. I felt very bad with...

This climbing gym is getting worse and worse every year, at least the boulder area. Really weird routes with strange movements and in general ugly setting, along with a really hard and non-sense grading and lack of new routes. The only good thing about this gym is the Kilter Board and now its been broken for more than 1 month and lets see how long it takes to fix it. Im not a professional climber but still I was able to climb atleast 80% of the routes before the new grading system. Now Im even struggling sometimes to do some mid/easy level routes and a lot of friends are really fustrated, what should a mid level person do? I understand you want to have some professional areas and routes with new style jumps and coordination moves and thats completely fine but dont ruin completely all the gym, it doesnt really make sense and you are just making the overall experience for the average person coming on a weekly basis really bad. I know a lot of people in KI that have the same opinion and coming here is getting less and less fun. Im not leaving one star because I had so much fun last years but now every time I come I leave with a bad feeling and I dont think its fair also having in mind that I pay yearly...

(+) Great routes, great staff, modern and rather clean facilities. The fact that it's a climbing center for pros is nice, as you can meet them and see them in action, but also has its downsides, as they take some space, and some walls in the rope climbing part are simply not for beginners nor even moderately experienced climbers.

(-) That makes the other walls more crowded. The gym is generally way too crowded during the week after 5 pm. The routes are often old and the holds are dirty The architecture of the main building is functional but ugly, there's nothing but asphalt outside, no trees. The entrance fee and food are quite expensive for average local salaries. The ventilation is poor, the main building is a sauna in summer (it seems partially out of service?), which makes climbing, hem, let's say more adventurous. The kilter board has been unrepaired for too many months now, and it took long to have water access on the ground floor last year. Also the gym closes some parts for several days during competitions.

I hope they have extension plans, with trees, and a roof for bikes to be protected from the rain and snow, and stop...
