The Nature-Inspired Climbing Park

//Our Mission

Reconnect Climbing with Nature

Climbing a rock in the middle of a forest gives that extra dimension to the sport. A deep connection with the elements and nature is something climbers are often missing in an artificial climbing facility.

It’s our mission to give climbers in urban environments the experience of climbing in nature.

Triple Impact

Big tree pots create an urban oasis

Our climbing walls have double function as big oversized pots. Big enough to fit a Tree. Our facilities create a piece of nature in urban environments and recreational function at the same time.

Remove plastic from the environment

Boulder Forest transforms waste into a sustainable business. This allows us to keep funding cleaning up the environment and store those plastics for long term.

Social cohesion

Climbing is about beating a challenge together. A sport where social interaction happens very spontaneously. We are creating an environment where people can come together.

Technology

3D printing for
organic shapes & circular materials

Rock formations usually have round irregular shapes. With 3D printing, we can mimic these naturally occurring organic shapes.

On top of that 3D printing allows us to work with a wide variety of materials ranging from biobased materials to recycled plastics.

This allows us to upcycle plastic waste into a durable, circular product. When the climbing wall is damaged it can be shredded and a new piece can be printed with it.

Vision

Our vision is to create sustainable climbing parks that use technology to create unique climbing experiences all over the world.

Our impact-driven mission is to reduce plastic waste in the environment, store it for the long term, provide fun jobs for people, promote nature in urban areas and promote healthy social interactions.

 FAQs

  • The prototype is a modular wall mostly designed for kids, but we will definitely make it more challenging in our final park.

  • We mix the recycled plastic with a mineral that enhances the tactical feel but also makes it easier to 3D print as it reduces the warping of the material after cooling down.

  • We are actually working on a way to 3D print with the plastics that are otherwhise not really recyclable and often downcycled or even burned.

  • Microplastics is an issue we are very concerned about as well. Most microplastics in the environment comes from washing synthetic clothing, beads in care products and decomposing plastics in the ocean. As we process the recycled plastic into a solid mass the wear and tear from a climber is neglectable. The amount of plastic we repurpose salvaged from the environment would produce way more microplastics if it would decompose slowly in nature.
