Discover Climbing is the best value; it gets you on all the walls and two weeks FREE.
Experienced Climbers must complete a waiver and orientation. Once you arrive, the Welcome Desk can set you up with a Top Rope or Lead proficiency test.
Sign The Waiver

Open Door Program
The Open Door Program is a tool for growing and serving the climbing community across all demographics. This program is a community wide effort to make climbing accessible and to cultivate a climbing community that reflects the diversity of the geographic regions we serve. We feel that is best accomplished through reducing as many barriers to climbing as possible, one of those being financial.
Offering a program like this requires the entire community to believe in it for it to be sustainable. This belief includes honesty and trust about true financial need. Additionally, the ability to offer this program is limited and depends on community supporters (Door Openers). We can’t do it without you.

July brought some real changes to the gym. New flooring is in and it already feels different underfoot. Summer camp has been packed this month — great to see so many kids on the wall. Personal Training is going strong, our adaptive climbing sessions kept going strong too, and a handful of new lead lines went up for anyone looking for something new to work through.
A lot happened in one month. What stood out to you?

Huge thank you to our flooring crew for 8 straight days of hard work — you knocked it out and we couldn’t be more grateful.
Our new floor is in, and it feels amazing.
Quick reminder: we’ll be resetting routes this Thursday and Friday, so expect some walls to be closed while our setters work their magic.
Come check out the new floor for yourself — see you at the gym! 🧡
