Safety
Climbing is a fun, yet a tricky sport and might cause some injuries when not practiced in a safe environment. This is why our gym is equipped with the most advanced safety equipment available.
Flooring
One More Life
One More Life is innovative flooring solution for indoor top-rope and lead climbing walls that prevents severe injuries or death in the event of a fall from up to 16.5m / 54ft. Our gym is equipped with such flooring in Atrium 3.
Boulder mats
The boulder area is covered with 40 cm boulder mat from Climbmat, developed and tested according international safety standards (AS 2316.1; NF P90-311, EN 12572-2) and provides safety falling from height of up to 4,5 meters.
Rope wall mats
Our rope wall mats feature a thick layer of polyurethane foam in a combination of a closed cell carpet bonded foam. They provide good protection for falls of up to 3 m.
Autobelays
OnBelay
OnBelay is air over hydraulic hydro-pneumatic automatic belay device that eliminates the need of a belayer. The device automatically retracts the cable during ascend and controls the speed during descend or in the event of a fall.
Belay sensor
The Belay Sensor is a safety system for climbing walls. It activates and rings a loud alarm whenever someone not attached to a belay device starts climbing. The sensors are located at the height equal to the first quickdraw i.e. 3 meters. This way the gym staff can quickly spot the climber and help him/her get down safely. Or even better – they usually realize what’s wrong and are low enough to be able to down climb themselves.
Route setting
Route setting is what makes or breaks a gym, so we take it very seriously.
That is why our team works very hard to provide new routes every 2 weeks. The setters are some of the best that Bulgaria offers. Moreover, a few times a year we have international setters coming to offer new experiences. Working very close with volumes and holds manufacturers, we have access to the best and latest sets from all over the world.
Walltopia Climbing Center is home of the tallest indoor climbing wall in Bulgaria.

Can I climb by myself or do I need a partner to climb or take a class?
Yes – you can climb by yourself or take a single class with an instructor.
