Just a friendly reminder that we're committed to keeping the climbing fresh! Our team resets routes and boulders nearly every week (with the exception of holidays, lead cave setting, and time off), so there's always something new to try on your next visit. Right now, the gym features 100+ top rope routes and 100+ boulder problems, giving climbers of all levels plenty to explore.

Our typical setting schedule is Mondays for boulders, Tuesdays for ropes, and Thursdays for either, with setting taking place from 9:00 AM–5 PM. You may notice a few areas temporarily closed while we're setting, but it's all part of bringing new climbs to the gym each week. Thanks for your patience and for supporting our setting team—we hope you enjoy the new routes and boulders!
