Halls & Walls the must-attend event for managers of climbing and bouldering gyms for years.
As in previous years, the climbing gym industry met again at the DAV climbing gym meeting at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition near Lake Constance. Halls & Walls took place on November 24/25 as part of Vertical Pro, the trade fair for "Vertical Professions". Once again, the well-known format of experts presentations and trade fair had been very well accepted and attracted around 2,270 visitors from 38 countries as well as 165 exhibitors from 30 nations.
The photo gallery on Skyfish shows a number of product stands and offers a few impressions ot the trade fair.
This year, the lectures organized by the DAV were all about route setting - THE core product of climbing and bouldering gyms. The discussions and presentations, which ranged from creative route setting and the integration of inclusive routes to the presentation of bouldering problems in social media, were correspondingly popular. As usual the presentations can be found in the download section below.
