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!

🌟COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT🌟
Meet Melissa Ruiz! She’s been part of the Movement community since she started climbing in 2018. That’s also the year she began competing in paraclimbing! In September, Melissa took gold🥇at the IFSC Para Climbing World Championships in Seoul in the RP1 category. Learn more about @mind_over_melissa below👇 and be sure to say hi if you see her training in the gym!
Did you choose climbing or did climbing choose you?
“Climbing didn’t choose me, I chose it. It’s such a leg-heavy sport that it doesn’t really make sense that I do it given the lower body disability, but here we are.”
What is something you wish the climbing community knew about paraclimbing?
“I wish the climbing community knew how strong paraclimbers are, and also how much fun we can be. We love making jokes and goofing around just like everyone else does. If anything, our humor is more shocking than our ability to climb. So join us! Don’t be afraid to make jokes and goof around with us.”
Congratulations on your most recent gold medal win at the IFS World Championships! Tell us about it:
“My recent World Championship Competition went pretty well! I came home with my first ever World Championship gold, despite all the trouble my legs were giving me. At my first Championship comp I’d gotten 12th, so this win means a lot to me.”
What’s next for you? Any dream projects?
“The next and last comp of the season is the World Cup in Laval, France. I’m hoping to top at least one of the comp routes while I’m there (and for another gold). After that I’ll be turning my attention back to outdoor climbing. Next May, I’m planning to lead up a route on El Cap. If I complete it, I’ll be the first person with Cerebral Palsy to lead up El Cap at all (everyone else jumared their way up). That, along with a route in Rumney called ‘Predator,’ are my dream projects.”
