Opening a climbing gym is more than building walls and installing holds.

Our latest Resource Hub article, “Opening Sets for New Climbing Gyms,” explores how to approach opening sets as a structured system rather than a one-time task.

It covers how to balance:
• Accessibility for new climbers
• Progression across grades
• Flow and movement through the gym
• Long-term setting flexibility

Boulder Bucovina - Romania 🇷🇴
A space that goes beyond climbing.
At .bucovina , we’ve teamed up with our clients to create an environment where young people can engage in educational courses, movement, and challenge. The bouldering wall is a staple component of the design, helping cultivate a place for regulation, relaxation, and socialisation.

We’re bringing this one to life with the wonderful people at Boulder Bucovina in 2026.
More to come soon.

Before you commit to a climbing gym build, the most important step isn’t design or construction. It’s asking the right questions from the start.

Our latest Resource Hub article, “Five Questions to Ask Your Climbing Gym Builder,” breaks down the key considerations that help you choose the right partner and set your project up for long-term success.

Safety in a climbing gym is not just about mats or equipment. It’s about how walls, layout, routesetting, design decisions and operations working together as a system.

Our newest Resource Hub explores how safe climbing environments are designed from the very beginning - and why the most important safety decisions often happen during the wall design phase, not after installation.

Because the best climbing gyms don’t just meet standards. They are designed to manage risk predictably as usage grows. Read the full article below:

UGANDA 🇺🇬 (Swipe left —->)
ICP is proud to be working with the team on creating their new climbing facility
Inspired by some of the country’s iconic outdoor crags, the vision behind the project goes beyond the walls.
As the team shared, “a gym that is about growing climbing on the continent and helping African climbers dream bigger and compete globally.”

These renders mark an exciting step forward, and we’re looking forward to bringing the project to life together.
Much more information to come soon.

Our second 2026 Resource Hub release is now live:
“Choosing the Right Climbing Holds and Volumes For Your Walls”

This article walks through how to properly plan hold purchases for a new facility, and how ICP supports gyms through the selection process to ensure clarity before orders are placed. Smart walls are built with intention.

For new gym builds, hold selection is more than color and texture. It affects:
• Setting flexibility
• Member progression
• Maintenance cycles
• Long-term investment value

Your walls are only as good as the holds you choose.

This year ICP's online Resource Hub goes deeper.
If you are building, operating, or maintaining a climbing wall, you will see more structure, more clarity, and more practical guidance.

Over the coming weeks we will introduce focused topics. Then we will return to each one and break it down further. Because strong gyms are not built on guesswork. They are built on informed decisions.

Our first article for 2026:
"The Cost of Starting a Climbing Gym"
Before design.
Before construction.
Before equipment.
Clarity.
