Welcome to the newest addition in climbing facilities in Dubai. The outdoor climbing wall is 15 meters high and the tallest in UAE. The Dubai Wall features the first IFSC World Cup standard 10 meter speed wall where two clibers go head to head. Also featured are overhangs and lead routes from Grade 3 to 8.
This variation in difficulty is like a roadmap for the climbers who can see their skills improving as they progress from the easier to the more difficult levels. Normally, beginners are put into small groups of three to four climbers so they can learn together and get personalized instruction.
No equipment is required to begin climbing and the facilities are open for adults as well as children. Just make sure to wear comfortable clothing which does not restrict movement.
The Dubai Wall offers a variety of courses for every level of climber:
First Steps: this course for the novice covers basic climbing technique, knots, and proper use of equipment
Top Rope Climbing: Fundamentals of climbing including types of holds, balance and movement.
Intermediate Climbing: Strength training, back-stepping, high-stepping, cross over, and lock offs.
Lead Class: Advanced class which requires six months of top rope experience.
In addition, such activities lend themselves well to corporate training and this is available through prior arrangment with Dorrell Sports which runs the Dubai Wall.
A day pass costs 50 AED and Adult Starter course is 350 AED for 5 classes.
