Located across from the iconic Apollo Theater, Harlem is a bouldering-only facility with hundreds of climbs. Bouldering, a form of rock climbing, involves ascents typically not exceeding 15 feet and does not require ropes. Curious? Join a class to learn more! Come for the climbing, and stay for the community. You’ll love our unique route setting — fun, challenging problems across every grade, set against various wall angles in an open-floor layout. Our facility has state-of-the-art climbing training equipment including campus boards, a Tension board, and an LED MoonBoard for customized training programs. Welcome to Movement Harlem!

We stayed up all night… and it was SO worth it 🌙
Last Saturday we climbed from 4 PM → 4 AM with our friends at @paracliffhangers for Owl Night, our overnight climb-a-thon + fundraiser and y’all showed up BIG 🫶
✨ Over $15K raised for adaptive climbing
👥 250+ climbers came through
🧠 12 mini-clinics (routesetting, campus climbing, blind climbing + more!)
🔥 Endurance comp that went til 3 AM (absolute legends)
🤝 Love from community orgs including @riseoutsidecollective @kinshipclimbingcollective @asianclimbingtribe @climbcrux @gunksclimbers @nycclimbingcollective
Owl Night was about more than climbing — it was about community, access, joy, and showing up! Huge thank you to everyone who climbed, coached, cheered, donated, and stayed up way past their bedtime for a good cause 🫶
We can’t wait until the next time!
