Bend Rock Gym

updated 2022 review - it really bums me out to see what this gym has become. it used to be a place for community, for learning, for making new friends, and progressing towards a common goal of climbing. feels like all that is gone… litterally had one of the employees yelling me out the door because i didn’t check in. 2019 review - one the best gyms in the northwest. setting is top tier and the place is a vibe.

What a great gym here in central Oregon. When the weather dies not permit outdoor climbing or if you are training for harder climbs, the Bend Rick Gym is a great place to go. I stopped by for a day pass and had a great time. The grades are reasonable and the settings were challenging without being overly complicated.

I'm a first time climber and went with my sister who goes often. The simplicity is very nice, just sign a waiver, grab some shoes and a harness and you're off to the races. There's a massive amount of walls to climb ranging from kids level to expert, with the expert levels being changed periodically to give experienced climbers new avenues to explore. I stayed on the auto-belay walls that allow you to completely let go at any height and gracefully rappel to the ground. Each wall is marked with a difficulty and a corresponding color to follow up. For example, blue holds show a path going up on one wall while green shows another. Besides the main color holds there are much smaller, harder holds in case you want to challenge yourself on the way up by avoiding the main course and using alternate routes. The whole facility is clean and well kept, with a very friendly staff to help you along the way. I would have loved to stay longer but my arms were giving out...next time I hope to conquer more difficult climbs!

BRG is a climbing gym for climbers. Between the ample bouldering, auto-belays, and climbing wall, there is plenty to keep your arms sore and skin raw for weeks on end. They are efficiently run and have a happy and helpful staff. In addition, the yoga and PILATES available make a great complement to anyone's climbing training. There are enough weights about you can get in a non-climbing based workout if you want it. There are also training walls and a cage for your movement and mobility training. It was a privilege to get to be a part of this community for even just a brief period of time.
