At your first check-in, you will receive an orientation from a staff member that includes an overview of how to understand the walls and how to fall. Your new membership or day pass also includes a free 30 minute Intro to BP session (which are run every day), where you can learn some of the fundamentals of climbing and navigating a climbing gym. We also offer Beginning Bouldering Technique classes!

Bouldering is rock climbing without a rope or harness, usually without going too high off the ground. Bouldering Project boulders are between 13-17 feet high and the entire ground around the climbing walls is padded.

You need either a membership or a day pass to climb or participate in events at Bouldering Project. We offer monthly memberships, prepaid memberships, day passes, or 10 punch passes. Most events are accessible with a pass, but some are members-only.

During the Arc’teryx Gym Residency, there will be access to reduced pricing for a 3-month pass (see below). The Bouldering Project also offers an Access Membership program, which is a self-select in, and self-select off program, offered at two reduced prices—a 25% reduction or a 40% reduction from our base price for monthly recurring memberships. See here for more details.

The Arc’teryx Access membership is designed to help reduce financial barriers to Bouldering Project Memberships. This discount is available to qualifying people based on their individual financial needs and take 50% off a 3-month, prepaid membership.

The only thing you need to boulder are climbing shoes. Most climbers also use chalk to give their hands more friction. If you don't have climbing shoes or chalk, we rent and sell both at our front desk. We recommend wearing comfortable, stretchy clothing that is easy to move in. Note that the walls and holds can be a little rough, especially on your pants. We have a shirts-on policy and require climbing shoes on the walls (no bare feet, no street shoes).  
 
Other than that, we recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated and we have water fountains to re-fill your bottles. 

You can climb for as long as you want. Most new climbers can last anywhere between 1-2 hours, while advanced climbers train for much longer. Our hours are 6am-10pm M-F, 8am-10pm SS.

For safety reasons, we do not allow children to be left unattended at our gym. However, we offer many opportunities for kids and their parents to climb. See here for more details. 
 
* Rock climbing is inherently dangerous. Highly attentive adult supervision is crucial for the safety of youth and others. Any youth (younger than 14) must be actively supervised by the adult responsible for them during their visit to the gym. Any parent, guardian or chaperone responsible for a youth must maintain direct supervision over them during their entire visit. An adult cannot supervise more than 2 youth at a time. 
 
**Bouldering is a physically demanding sport, but we’re here to help. Children don’t need to have previous experience to start, but we do recommend children are at least 4 years old before trying out bouldering.  

We believe climbing is for everyone. There's no one way up and problem solving your path is one of the greatest joys of climbing. Join our community and get ready to rise higher.
