Rock Tirana

Rock Tirana started in 2012 as a project to develop a small bouldering gym, and with it a home for the Albanian rock climbing community. It was started by three eager climbers: two Americans and a local. It's been a big effort but Albania now has a small, eager group of climbers.
What has been achieved since the conception of the gym:
-Every year the kids club is ran with several groups for different ages and languages. The club introduces new kids to climbing, and nurtures and supports the motivation of the regulars. The youth will be the next generation of climbers, and we believe that teaching them good practices from the beginning will create a healthy and responsible community.
-Also for the adults the gym is more than just a place to come boulder. We offer belaying courses, training groups and try to shine a light on several disciplines of climbing.
-Going on more than 10 editions now we organise an annual climbing festival promoting crags that have seen recent development.
-Over the years the community at the gym has played a central role in developing new crags, maintaining existing routes and working to maintain access and spread information about the climbing here. If you are keen to make your own contribution make sure to contact us!
