The walls

Three rooms, one obsession

Every wall in the building is set by our in-house crew and stripped on a rotating schedule, so there’s always a project you haven’t touched yet.

The Boulderfield

Twelve thousand square feet of bouldering, from friendly slab to a 40-degree cave that will humble you politely. Circuits run V0 to V12, with downclimb jugs on every wall and flagged warm-up zones for busy nights.

Wall height: 4.5 m
Angles: 5°–40°
Flooring: 30 cm floated foam
Reset: Wall-by-wall, weekly

The Ropes

Forty-five-foot top rope walls with 26 stations and 8 auto-belays, graded 5.5 to 5.13. Belay checks run at the desk any time we’re open, and our Learn the Ropes class gets you certified in one evening.

Good to know Auto-belays are open to everyone — no partner, no cert needed.

The Engine Room

The training area: two adjustable boards, six hangboard stations, campus rungs, free weights, turf, and cardio. Quiet in the morning, loud with power screams by 7 PM. Included with every membership.

Good to know Board sessions cap at 20 minutes when someone’s waiting.
