Climb BlueSky, now operating under the BICAM venue in the Karen area, serves as an active social hub known for its rock climbing walls and outdoor event space. Access is straightforward for those in the Karen vicinity, though visitors should note that the site has undergone management and branding changes, moving away from the former Purdy Arms identity.

If the climbing wall is too busy or the facility is undergoing maintenance, you can enjoy a quiet walk through the nearby Oloolua Nature Trail, which offers a much more serene and well-maintained forest experience for a very affordable entry fee.

The Cost: Climbing sessions typically start at KSH 800 to KSH 1,500 per person, depending on whether you require equipment rental. Event entry fees vary significantly based on the specific artist or production hosting the show.

The Experience: Visiting here is a mix of physical exertion and casual social hanging. The climbing wall requires moderate physical effort and is suitable for beginners and intermediate climbers. The terrain surrounding the wall is generally flat and accessible, though it lacks the high-end polish of larger commercial climbing gyms in Nairobi.

What you can get: You can get a solid indoor-outdoor climbing workout, access to live music performances featuring local Kenyan artists, and a variety of meat-heavy menu items and drinks typical of a lively Karen-style social grill.

Overall, this venue is a hit-or-miss spot that depends entirely on whether you are there for a scheduled event or a solo climbing session; ensure you confirm their current operational status before making the trip.
