🔑Mobility exercises are key to unlocking better performance on the wall!
By improving your range of motion, you’ll be able to move more freely, get deeper into tricky positions, and push through those high foot placements or reachy holds with ease. Whether it’s improving your hip flexibility for stemming or shoulder mobility for those overhead reaches, mobility exercises directly translate to smoother, more controlled movement while climbing.
🎯 If you are looking for a place to start, check out our Functional Mobility Foundations for Climbers workshop on Tuesday, October 8th!
@emiliewyrick will guide your through mobility exercises that you can easily incorporate into any session.
✏️Spots are limited, so head to the events calendar at our link in the bio to snag yours today!

Have you tried September’s route of the Month?!
Make like Sisyphus and push your way up this engaging stemming route of the month! The terrain lends itself to wide stances, palms down pushing, and utilizing empty wall space to make each stem just right.
This route clocks in around 5.11-
Black and blue holds are on for the entirety of the route
🚨 Exciting update, Portland! ⬇️
We’re upgrading the bouldering area floors for the first time ever!
📌 Starting October 7th, the bouldering zone will be closed for renovations while we install brand-new flooring.
We anticipate the closure will last a few weeks. Construction can be unpredictable, so please note the timeline may change. We may open sections of the bouldering area as work continues and will keep you updated along the way.
We know it’s tough to wait, but the fresh setup will be worth it! The rest of the gym will stay open for roped climbing, fitness classes, and more.
Keep an eye on Instagram for progress updates and sneak peeks! We’re counting down the days until you can enjoy the new setup! ✨
