From urban space boulders to extension of an indoor lead wall

FEATURED PROJECTS

Over the past 15 years, we have developed lead walls, boulder projects both outdoors and indoors, rope parks and climbing towers especially in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Our project portfolio is long and below you can dive into a small range of these diverse climbing facilities.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Our vision is to create unique climbing experiences with a focus on movement techniques, architecture and space design, as a whole. That's why we design climbing wall projects that frame active movement spaces for both children and adults of all experience levels with protrusions, crooked angles and several levels of difficulty that challenge both balance and technical climbing skills right from the first grip.

When you approach Gubbies with your ideas, you get broad-spectrum competence support - we look at your ideas, needs and possibilities as both an architect, climbing expert and project facilitator with many years of experience with all phases from idea to realization.

In this way, your dreams come true in exactly the physical framework you have available to the delight of both your specific target group and the climbing environment in the broadest sense. We know that when you succeed with your project and your users are successful with their climbing, it contributes to the growing interest in climbing in Denmark.

We believe that thorough consultancy and a deep understanding of the sport lead to better projects for our clients.
