United by a shared passion for design, Arc’eryx and Climbing District have collaborated to develop bespoke climbing holds inspired by the outdoors. From origami-influenced wooden cubes to volumes echoing basaltic columns, these designs redefine the urban bouldering landscape.
This year, the partnership expands its reach, debuting a new series of holds crafted from natural materials that will be consecutively presented at flagship locations in Paris, London and Milan.
Les Prises de la Bastille is a project created by Arc’teryx and Climbing District to reimagine urban climbing. Exclusive holds inspired by nature, design and architecture transform the gym walls into an immersive experience. A unique playground designed for climbing, community and creativity.
Discover all three editions:
Want to climb in Fontainebleau without worrying about transportation? The Climbing District x Arc’teryx Climbing Bus will take you directly from Paris to the legendary sandstone of the Fontainebleau forest.
More than just a ride, the Climbing Bus fosters a collective outdoor culture, while prioritizing environmental responsibility and the preservation of our natural playgrounds. Available from June to July 2026.
Keep an eye out on the program for official dates.
First-time or intermediate climber trying to reach the next grade? This is your place to join the community, learn together, and climb higher. Join us for instructor-led discovery sessions across various Paris locations, offering a focus on foundational techniques and safety in a low-pressure environment.
After the effort, participants are invited to share an aperitif to share experiences and build lasting community connections.
Designed as a space for sharing and building trust, these sessions invite women from all walks of life to climb together in the spirit of openness and sisterhood. Led by a coach, these sessions don’t focus on performance or skill level: instead, they foster a supportive atmosphere, without pressure or judgment, and where all can climb at their own pace.
Available in Paris, London, and Milan.
