Boulderen aan de Dommel


              Boulderen aan de Dommel is an open Urban Bouldering event, first organized by ESAC, in collaboration with ParKlimson on the 26th of September, 2026. 
              It is an festival to celebrate urban climbing and the only chance to legally climb buildings all over the TU/e campus, as well as a custom wall!

              The festival is mainly there to enjoy bouldering together, but there are also prizes to be won. For instance the (not yet) famous BAD-duck Baddie!


              The winners of the first edition of BAD were:

              Boulderen aan de Dommel is also climbing together against Parkinson's!
              The parKLIMson Foundation is joining forces with the ESAC during Bouldering on the Dommel (BAD)! Together, we climb to raise awareness for Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is the fastest-growing brain disease worldwide. Fortunately, exercise helps enormously against the symptoms, and climbing happens to be a surprisingly good sport for thParKLIMson therefore makes climbing accessible with special climbing groups. Seven are already running in the Netherlands, and number eight will start this October in The Hague!
              For more information take a look at their website.


              The updated Urban Climbing Topo Eindhoven
              Did you know that Ton van den Berg, the initiator of parKLIMson, organized an Urban Climbing tour at the ESAC 25 years ago? Back then, he put together the Urban Climbing topo (guidebook) of Eindhoven. Now, 25 years later a fully updated, super-deluxe version has been released. You definitely want to get your hands on it! 
              If you buy the topo in pre-sale, you will also receive a voucher for FREE entrance for Neoliet Boulder!
