boulder+ Aperia

boulder+ Aperia is a bouldering gym on level 3 of The Aperia Mall in Kallang, with high ceilings and more than a hundred problems on the wall at any time.

It is one of the roomier gyms in Singapore, with a top-out area where you finish over the lip rather than jumping off, a 60-degree spray wall for training, and an endurance corner. Problems are graded from V0 up to around V8, with the starter routes clearly marked, which makes it easy to find your level without asking anyone. Showers are free, and day passes are among the cheaper ones — with an early-bird rate on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

It opens at half past seven on weekdays, so it is one of the few gyms here that works before an office day rather than after one. It suits beginners and regular climbers equally, and the price and the space are the two things that come up most. Kallang station is a short walk.
