First time? Easy.

No partner, no harness, no experience needed. Here's how your first hour goes.

01

Sign the waiver

Online before you come, or on the tablet at the desk. Under 18, a parent signs.

02

Grab shoes

Rentals are $6. Snug is right: your toes should touch the end.

03

Take the tour

Free and 15 minutes, on the hour, every hour. How to fall, where to rest, how the tape works.

04

Start on green

Green tape is our easiest. Climb, rest, try the next one. Blue when you're ready.

Intro class, $45

Call or text us

Read the tape

Every problem is marked with colored tape by its grade. We reset one wall every Tuesday, so the whole gym is new within five weeks.

Climbers say 4.9

From more than 870 reviews. Here are three we keep coming back to.

I came in for one day pass in March and I've been a member ever since. The setters actually talk to you.

Danielle, NorthWest Crossing

Our son's birthday party was the easiest one we've ever thrown. They ran everything; we brought the cake.

Marcus, Larkspur

Best intro class in town. By the end of it I'd sent my first blue.

Tessa, Old Farm District

Good questions

Anything else? Call or text (541) 555-0163 and someone at the desk will answer.

Call or text us

Do I need experience or a partner?

Neither. Bouldering is climbing without ropes, so you can come alone and start the minute your shoes are on. The free tour on the hour shows you how to fall safely.

What should I wear?

Clothes you can move in. Bring climbing shoes if you have them, or rent ours for $6. Chalk is free.

How old do kids need to be?

Any age can climb the kids' wall with a parent watching. On the main walls, climbers 13 and under need a parent with them, and everyone under 18 needs a parent's signature on the waiver.

Do I need to book ahead?

Not for a day pass: walk in any time we're open. Classes and parties fill up, so call, text or send the form to save a spot.

When is it quietest?

Weekdays before 3pm and after 8pm. Weekday evenings from 5 to 7 are our busiest hours.

Is there parking?

Free parking out front, and bike racks by the door.
