Excellent bouldering gym right in the middle of downtown. The gym is inside Block 37 on level 4. The route setters have done a phenomenal job, there’s route for all levels. And there are quite a few dynos as well. They also have a nice warm up area with rings and trx bands. My only gripe is that the rental shoes were pretty bad. If you are an advanced climber, get your own shoes. Regardless great place to spend an evening

Questions & Answers

Is there parking here? Or nearby.

There is plenty of paid garage parking nearby. We recommend using Spot Hero to find the best rates. If you're close to the Blue or Red Line el train, that's really your best bet - the trains stop in the basement of Block 37. Hope that helps!

I'm coming in from out of town and would like to train while I'm there! Do you guys have a spraywall, or a training board like Tension or Moonboard or Kilter? Just curious so I can plan!

Hey Zane - we have a Moonboard as well as a scatter board, campus board, and hangboard. Hope that helps!

What's the age range?

We recommend bouldering for kids 5 and up, but you can bring younger kids if you'd like. We look forward to climbing with you!
