Anonymous: Hi, my husband and I just moved to the Netherlands and are looking for outdoor climbing options. Berdorf sounds perfect, except it sounds like we can't unless we are part of an association. I can't find any local associations here. Do you have any suggestions? Or other recommended climbing areas within 4-6 hours drive from Den Haag? Thanks!

Hi, we do not know any climbing clubs in the Netherlands … Yes, unfortunately you need to have a paper which proves that you are member of a climbing club. But when you’re lucky there won’t be any controls 😉… Other climbing areas? There are some in Belgium. Freyr for example. But I think they have the same rules!? You need to be member in a climbing club or federation!?
