Who we are
To see who you can contact you can take a look at Organisation.
Board
Mees, Chairman
Hello, I’m Mees. I’ve been regularly visiting the bouldering gym for many years, but I’ve only become a passionate boulderer since I joined UBoulder. Over the past few years, I’ve enjoyed participating in activities, trips, and training sessions. I’m committed to working with the rest of the board and the members of UBoulder to make these experiences available to even more people and take them to the next level.
Besides climbing, I enjoy taking long walks with a tent on my back and listening to a lot of audiobooks. I’d also love to hear about your experiences with and initiatives for bouldering in Utrecht. Feel free to get in touch!
Jurgen, Vice president
Dear U-Boulder members,
I would like to introduce myself as the new vice president of UBoulder. My name is Jurgen, and I originally come from the beautiful Friesland. I started bouldering in 2020, a passion that has captivated me ever since. I have been living in Utrecht for several years now, where I’ve become acquainted with the U-Boulder community and have enthusiastically participated.
I look forward to contributing to our association as Vice president!
Sven, Treasurer
Hi, I’m Sven! Two years ago, I discovered my passion for bouldering, and since then, my love for mountain sports has only grown. Besides bouldering, I’m also active in mountaineering and toprope climbing, where I push my limits and explore the beauty of the mountains. I originally come from Rotterdam, but I now live in Leidsche Rijn. In addition to my adventures in climbing, I’m also the treasurer. In this role, I handle all financial tasks, using my organizational skills to keep everything running smoothly.
Wies, Secretary
Hey! I’m Wies, 27 years old, and I started bouldering about two years ago, at which point I also joined UBoulder. This year, I’ll be taking on the role of secretary within UBoulder. I’ll mainly be responsible for administrative tasks within the board. If you have any questions, feel free to message or email me at:
Maxime, Commissioner Indoor
Hi there,
My name is Maxime, and I’m 30 years old. I’ve been climbing for about 7 years and have lived in Utrecht for around 3 years. You’ll mostly find me on a toprope or lead climb, but I also regularly visit the bouldering gym, especially now that I’m part of such a friendly association like UBoulder! Besides work and climbing, I enjoy playing Magic: The Gathering, occasionally doing some yoga, and frequently hanging out in the city or with friends for drinks, dining out, and movie nights. I also like to pick up a philosophy, medicine, or fantasy book from time to time.
This year, I’m taking on the role of Commissioner Indoor. I’ll be handling all the indoor activities that UBoulder offers, working closely with our fantastic trainers and other volunteers from various committees, including the training, competition, and route-setting committees.
If you have any questions about this, or if you’d like to get involved with one of these committees, feel free to approach me or any of the other board members in the gym, or send me a message!
Diogo, Commissioner Outdoor
Hello, I am Diogo, a passionate sportsperson. Despite being from a beautiful country to boulder as Portugal, I discovered the sport in the Netherlands in 2020. Since then, I have been bouldering and climbing in different places in Europe. To me, there’s something magical about being outdoors in the forest, bouldering and chilling with friends the whole day surrounded by Nature.
As Commissioner Outdoor, I am the overall responsible for the organization of the UBoulder bouldering trips. Should you have any questions or suggestion, feel warmly invited to contact me via whatsapp or at:
