Bouldering is the heart of it — but Crux is a training space, a youth program, and the room where half your weekends end up.

Forty feet of wall, V0 through V10, with a fresh set going up every Friday.

Intro to Climbing

Beginner · 45 min

A staff-led first session: how to fall, how to read a wall, how the grading works.

Youth Team

Ages 7–17 · seasons

Coached, progression-based climbing for kids — recreational squads through competitive team.

Yoga & Training Area

All members · daily

Hangboards, a campus board, free weights, rings — plus three yoga classes a week.

The gym

Fourteen thousand square feet.

A converted rail depot — exposed trusses, forty-foot walls at every angle, and pads thick enough that falling is part of the fun. The hardest problems and the friendliest crowd you'll find.

Member stories

Everyone here started on the slab.

"I projected one V4 for six weeks. The night I finally stuck it, half the gym I'd never met was cheering. That doesn't happen at a regular gym."

"My daughter joined the youth team and I started climbing so I wasn't just watching. Now Saturday morning is the two of us on the slab. Best accident."

"I walked in having never climbed, terrified of heights. Last month I placed in my division at comp night. The wall doesn't care where you started."

Your first visit

Athletic clothes and socks. Shoes and chalk rent here for $8 — free with the first-visit deal. No class or partner needed; staff cover the basics when you arrive.

Before you climb

First-timer questions.

I've never climbed — do I need a class first?+

No. Bouldering is climbing close to the ground over thick pads — no ropes, no partner, no certification. Walk in and staff will cover falling and the basics. The free Intro to Climbing session is there if you want more structure.

What gear do I need to rent or buy?+

Just climbing shoes and chalk — both rent for $8 together, or free on your first-visit deal. Most climbers buy their own shoes within a month or two; we sell them, and members get 20% off.

Is there a fitness area beyond climbing?+

Yes — a full training zone with hangboards, a campus board, rings, and free weights, plus three yoga classes a week. All of it is included with a monthly membership.

How often do routes change?+

Constantly. Our five setters put up fresh problems every Friday, rotating two zones a week — so the whole gym, all 240 problems, turns over about once a month.

Is there a kids' program?+

Yes — a coached Youth Team for ages 7 to 17, from recreational squads to a competitive team, plus open climbing for families. Kids under 14 climb with a supervising adult.

Your first move is twenty dollars.

Day pass, shoes, and chalk for $20 — walk in any time we're open. No experience, no partner, no plan. Just chalk up.
