Climbing
With an OlymPas you can make unlimited use of the climbing wall during the Kalymnos opening hours. You must, however, have obtained at least the NKBV Indoor Lead Climbing proficiency certificate (IV).
In order to climb individually, you must first sign up at the Service Desk of Sportcentrum Olympos. Here you will have to show an entry ticket as well as your climbing proficiency certificate. You will also have to sign the climbing conditions and indicate whether you will be lead climbing or top rope climbing.
Top rope climbing (NKBV top rope climbing proficiency certificate required)
During opening hours, it is always possible to go top rope climbing. You can use any of the 16 or 17 rope lines that have ropes attached. In case of bad weather or unforeseen circumstances, it may be necessary to close the climbing wall. This will be indicated on the Kalymnos Facebook page.
Lead climbing (NKBV lead climbing proficiency certificate required)
There is too little demand for the possibility to lead climb, therefore only at (irregular) specific times a wall section is designated for lead climbing. These will be announced on this page under current information.
If you do not yet possess the indoor top rope climbing proficiency certificate, you can obtain this by completing the top rope climbing course at Olympos. If you do not have the certificate, but you do have extensive climbing knowledge and experience, you can speed things up by doing the climbing proficiency exam at Olympos. If you have completed a Toprope course but do not have an NKBV Climbing Proficiency Certificate, please email proof of participation in this course to Kalymnos@olympos.nl a few days before you want to come climbing, and we will see if we can grant you access based on this.

Would you like to purchase an OlymPas or 3-Day pass?
You can get an OlymPas at the Service desk (year pass, 1 or 3 months pass or 3-day pass) or online on our website (payment via Pay).
Please note: you are only allowed to climb if you hold an NKBV climbing proficiency certificate. Due to the fact that our Service Desk cannot monitor the climbing wall and for safety reasons, this certificate must be shown at the Service Desk prior to commencing your climb. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
