It took her a while to gain confidence and to start enjoying the sport. She now finds herself trying different routes and experiencing new challenges as she takes it to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The UAE\u2019s ultimate indoor adventure hub offers guests the chance to enroll in different courses.

They support each other by figuring out different routes and enjoy practicing the sport together. In fact, they are planning to expand their skills with outdoor rock climbing alongside other CLYMB Abu Dhabi members and staff in the upcoming months. Ashley says: \u201cThe pandemic has been incredibly stressful and we found climbing to be the perfect getaway. Since then, we have met some amazing friends and we are really thankful for that\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At CLYMB Abu Dhabi, guests and families are always welcome to put their physical abilities to the test.
