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!

🫶 Climbing Etiquette Edition: “Right to Jail” (+ a new policy starting 8/15 at LIC and Gowanus) 

1️⃣ Walking with climbing shoes in the bathroom? ➜ Jail (we all use the same holds, lets keep them clean👟)

2️⃣ Sprawling your gear all over the pads? ➜ Jail (our crash pads need room to catch falls, not water bottles & chalk 🛑)

3️⃣ Tossing trash in the towel bin? ➜ Jail (the towels are tired enough already 🥲)

4️⃣ Leaving your figure-8 knot in? ➜ Jail (new rule: it’s better for the ropes and helps our community build and maintain skills 🪢✨). 

Don’t worry—this ‘sentence’ just means cleaner holds, tidier spaces, and everyone can enjoy 💕
