Discover what to expect during your first climbing session at Climbing District. Information, equipment, booking, and tips to get started with confidence.
Never climbed before? No worries.
At Climbing District, everything is designed to make your first session an accessible, friendly, and unforgettable experience. Here’s everything you need to know before slipping on your first climbing shoes.
At Climbing District, everything is set up so you can arrive with peace of mind: towels, showers, shower gel, and even fresh water are all available on-site. If you’ve booked a discovery session, climbing shoes and harness rental are included. You can also buy liquid chalk directly at the gym.
To feel comfortable during your session, we recommend wearing flexible and comfortable sportswear: a t-shirt or tank top, and leggings or shorts are perfect.
As for climbing shoes, they should fit snugly—sometimes a bit tighter than your regular shoes—but never painfully. Our team will be happy to help you find the right size if you’re renting a pair on-site.
Group lessons are available, and the instructor tailors the session to each person’s level — whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve — so you can build solid foundations.
Lessons are structured in three key stages:

The class always ends with a moment of sharing, giving you the opportunity to express how you felt with the other participants.
If you loved your first experience and want to keep climbing, we’ll walk you through all the options available in Paris to continue the adventure.
