Great cleanup at the bouldering area Glees in Germany. In the past we’ve done two cleanups in the neighboring Ettringen climbing area. Nice work Bouwe and others!

Progress with the Renew Rubber project! Edelrid has tested the rubber and it works quite well already, with as expected some points to improve. The rubber they've tested was from 20% devulcanised rubber from fresh rubber sheets, we will now proceed with testing a combination of 20% upcycled rubber from recycled Red Chili climbing shoes. Stay tuned!

♻️ Op zoek naar tweedehands outdoorspullen? Kom dan naar de tweedehands markt!
Zoek jij nog items om van je paklijst te kunnen vinken? Een fijne donsjas, wandelbroek, bergschoenen of juist een rugzak, klimschoenen of een klettersteigset. Misschien heb jij deze items zelf ongebruikt in een la liggen en kunnen die zeker nog een aantal rondes mee bij iemand anders.
Kom dan naar de tweedehands markt op de Bergsportdag! Hier geven we gebruikte kleding en materiaal een tweede leven. Verkoop het ter plekke of kijk of er iets voor jezelf bij zit. Mede mogelijk gemaakt door Bever!
🙌 Hoe het allemaal werkt lees je hier: https://bergsportdag.nkbv.nl/nieuws/tweedehandsmarkt/
Tip 💡 Je oude donsproducten en versleten klimschoenen doneer je bij de stands van Rab & Clean Climber.
