Bouldering Wagomu Climbing Gym in Kobe
Bouldering at Wagomu Climbing Gym in Kobe.
Our climbing in Japan journey continues in Kobe! We had the opportunity to climb at BPump Akihabara and Ogikubo as well as outdoor at Mitake and Kasagi. We got to spend two days at Wagomu Climbing Gym in Kobe. The grading here was quite HARD! Very comparable to BPump's grading.
This time I was able to bring my youngest daughter who is 6yo. There grades there for 7Q (V0) and 6Q (V1) were marked for specific hands but you were allowed to choose any feet you wanted. Specific foot hold started at 5Q (V2).
If you're in Kobe I recommend visiting Wagomu Climbing Gym. Love the small gym vibe and had great tricky setting!

Holding those two crimps into the cross moves were hard for sure although the hardest move oddly was the hueco to the last hold. If you're strong enough you can do the moves but don't think it makes it a full grade harder.

The description is also confusing! “Work to the lip and find your way out of that watery grave.” Makes sense for the boulder I climbed because you do have the potential to fall in the water. The other boulder is no where close! Lazy post! I hate when the start holds and lines aren’t indicated as well.
