*Trepa is a climbing gym, designed for those people looking to get out of their routine, release stress and connect with their body and mind.*

In the Palermo neighborhood of the town of Teusaquillo is Trepa, the house of climbing. This gym proposes bouldering as a common practice within the physical activities that you can do daily, or as a sport to instill in boys and girls.

With routes up to 4.2 meters high on mats on the ground, in this modality it is not necessary to use harnesses, ropes or helmets, as is usually required in sport or speed climbing. However, it is necessary to prepare and warm up the upper body, which is made up of the pectorals, arms, shoulders and abdominals.

This place opened its doors on August 12, 2023 due to the growing global interest in sport climbing and the desire of Esteban Delgado, Gonzalo Peña and Royer Ascanio to spread this exercise and create more spaces for its practice, so they adapted a house of three floors with areas for introductory courses, a functional cage, a space for yoga sessions, group classes and workshops, physiotherapy areas, a children's climbing area and another for adults with more than 70 blocks of different levels of difficulty. ; even a floor for coworking.

Upon arrival, you will have the option of renting a pair of 'gatos' for ten thousand pesos, as the special shoes necessary for climbing are called, or you can bring your own pair. It is important that they fit a little snugly to ensure grip on the various obstacles on each wall. The activity begins with a warm-up session to avoid injuries, and then you can start climbing different routes, marked with colors according to the difficulty levels.

Trepa opens every day: Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Sundays and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It offers day pass options, tickets and monthly memberships that vary depending on the number of sessions and the length of time you want to train. It also has workshops and sports sessions or cultural events, which you can register for through WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.

Location: Diagonal 45D # 16A- 23, Palermo neighborhood, in front of the Clínica Nueva emergency room.
