One of the things we are proudest of is helping make climbing accessible to youth across Hawai‘i Island.

Through our program Climbing for Keiki and Adventure Centers Hawai‘i, many hundreds of free climbing sessions have been provided to underserved youth, schools, foster families, homeschool groups, and community organizations.

Climbing should be for everyone.

These climbers showed up again and again this year — encouraging others, sharing beta, and helping build the culture that makes Big Island Climbing feel like home.

🎉 BIG ISLAND CLIMBING IS TURNING 5! 🎉

Five years ago, we opened our doors in Hilo with a dream of creating a welcoming indoor bouldering community for Hawai‘i Island.

Since 2021, thousands of climbers have walked through these doors — kids, families, beginners, experienced climbers, visitors, and people simply looking for connection and confidence.

We’ve watched friendships form, fears overcome, and lives change through climbing.

Mahalo for climbing with us. ❤️
This community is what makes this place special.

They're still really cheap compared to every other Bouldering Gym.
