Hello, dear BK friends!
Christmas is not far anymore! NEITHER IS PASILA'S LEGENDARY XMAS PARTY AND THE BK CUP'S FINAL COMP! Come, this Friday, 13.12. from 17 onwards (read more below!!!)
If you’re still wondering about the Christmas presents, we have some excellent ideas for all climbers. Read more below! In addition, we are already gazing ahead to the New Year!
PRODUCT OF THE MONTH: BK MUG!
Two carrots with one bite: develop your finger strength while drinking glögi! You’ll improve your climbing and your Christmas spirits!
It's also okay to drink coffee from the mug.
Get yours here from our webshop or from our gym!
Ps. The mug also works fantastically as a gift for the climbing partner in crime!

Products of the month are chosen by BK Team and the favorite products of the staff
VAT ON SPORTS SERVICES IS INCREASING - GOOD TIME TO BUY CLIMBING BEFORE 2025
The Finnish government is increasing sports services VAT by 4% starting on the 1st of January 2025 (from 10% to 14%). This tax will increase the prices of climbing at Boulderkeskus.
We have already sent an email to all yearly members on how to save on your membership. As a yearly member you can postpone the increase on your membership price by paying for your climbing in advance.
If you haven't received the email, please check your spam folder. If you can't find the email but would like to get it, then send a message to laskutus@boulderkeskus.com as soon as possible, lastest by 20th of December.
This change also impacts our monthly passes, so this is the time to top up your own and tip off all climber friends to top up their cards before the end of the year to maximise the value for their money!

Pasila’s traditional Christmas party and the last BK Cup of the year on December 13th
Yes indeed, THIS FRIDAY! BK Pasila’s traditional Pre-Xmas Party is here and of course at the same time it’s the last competition of the BK CUP 2024!!! The final comp on the 13.12. decides who is the one to take the win of the whole BK CUP and to snatch the yearly-membership as well as who is Lady Fortuna’s favourite this year!
In addition to the spectacular problems, there will be Christmas appropriate food, drinks and music in a good company and a warm atmosphere. You don’t have to participate in the competition to come and enjoy the Pre-Xmas party but we of course highly recommend you to: BK CUP competitions are an easy and fun way to get to know the world of competition climbing and as a little added bonus, we will have a draw among all participant
The competition is free for Collective members and 10 € + entrance for everyone else. Pre-Xmas Party can be attended with an entrance ticket only. The event starts at 17.00! Competition time is until 21.00.
We can’t wait!!! See you on the 13th of December
