Awesome bouldering gym. Great setting, very accessible style. Cool mix of old school climbs with dynamic moves. Great music. The owner, Luca, was very friendly and welcoming, and was happy to recommend any boulders.

The gym locals are also very friendly to chat with (being my first time there). Recommend to Florence travellers and everyone.

Bellissima palestra di arrampicata con decine di percorso di vario livello. Gestori simpatici e disponibili
Facile da raggiungere nella zona industriale di casellina vicino all'uscita della fipili e della autostrada

conosciuto casualmente per il compleanno di tre amichetti di mio figlio, devo dire che è interessante per chi pratica questa attività o vuole avvicinarsi al climbing. Immagino ci voglia il fisico per questo tipo di attività. comunque, il posto è ben gestito

È un ottima palestra di arrampicata. Tenuta bene. Gli istruttori sono molto competenti. Gli spogliatoi abbastanza puliti.

Coming here during ferragosto the vibes incredible because all the other gyms are closed and everyone there is...there. Awesome music...only climbing gym I've not worn headphones at haha. Also, liquid chalk only. Btw, thanks for the liquid chalk- if you hadn't made me buy it I might've failed my deep water solo haha.

Automatic 5 stars because it's the only gym open in Tuscany in August. I really like this gym though, feels old-school.

Great place, fantastic staff, amazing music, love you guys!

We were there (1 adult + 2 kids) to experiment with climbing and bouldering. The place is very professional with a lot of different routes and difficulty levels. The staff was super helpful and nice, and they have very good musical taste (from Pixies, Talking Heads, the Stooges, ...). Although we know very little about climbing, we stayed for over 2 hours and enjoyed it very much.

As a result, the whole atmosphere was very welcoming, and you can feel it in the people climbing, who are visibly "members", not "clients". That's so rare that I wish I could give 6 stars :-)

Give it five stars, because it's the only climbing gym working in Florence in August, has a Moonboard and campus, which is actually enough.
It might be not the newest gym here, and it lacks boulders, but the routesetting is not bad, and I like the long routes marked.

Położona na obrzeżach antycznego miasta Florencja bulderownia Area51 wygląda jakby była założona przez Reptilian jeszcze wcześniej niż samo miasto. Najwyraźniej ze względu na unikalny starożytny charakter, aby nie zaszkodzić zabytkowym chwytom nie są one nigdy czyszczone. Dzięki temu wspinanie tutaj ma dobrze Polakom znany swojski charakter jak w Rzędkach po deszczu. Ponieważ wszystkie chwyty mają praktycznie ten sam (czarny) kolor, poszczególne baldy są oznaczone kolorowymi tasiemkami, styl dziś już nie spotykany na nudnych nowoczesnych ściankach.

Na ściance można używać wyłączne płynnej magnezji, dzięki czemu chwytanie wypolerowanych klamek daje jedyne w swoim rodzaju uczucie wyślizgującego się kleistego błotka.

Jak w prawdziwych zabytkach przystało obowiązują tu adekwatne zasady skromnego i przyzwoitego ubioru i mimo upałów należy wspinać się w koszulce. Na uwagę zasługuje też konserwatywne podejście do ekologii: klimatyzatory pracują pełną parą zaciągając powietrze prosto zza pootwieranych na pełną szerokość drzwi garażowych.

Obsługa ścianki jest bardzo miła, pomocna oraz wielce wyluzowana. Jeden z instruktorów palił fajkowe ziele na luzie przy samym wejściu do hali, pozwalając wszystkim gościom rozkoszować się dymkiem razem z nim.

Chiami, chiedi info e ti danno delle info ma essendo impegnati concordi per il giorno successivo per finalizzare.
Richiami il giorno successivo e scopri che la persona con cui hai parlato no c'è, è partito e ritorna dopo x giorni.
La persona che risponde ti informa che tutto quello di cui hai parlato la sera prima non è fattibile e puff svanito tutto.
I miei più sinceri complimenti ...
