“We’re proud to bring back Route of the Month with a climb that means something more this June.
It’s dedicated to our LGBTQIA2S+ community members and to the allies who stand beside them.
Along this route, you’ll find moments from queer history. Stories of struggle, strength, and joy.
As you climb, we invite you to reflect not just on these histories, but on your own journey, and the experiences of those who share this space with you. May this climb be a celebration of identity, community, and progress, and a reminder that climbing is stronger and more beautiful when it’s for everyone.”
With pride,
-The Movement PDX Routesetting Team 🔩⚡️

(Don’t judge Hunter’s dancing, he’s trying his best, okay!?! 🥺👉👈)
We are stoked to kick off Pride with these awesome shirts benefiting our friends over at @queer.mountaineers Proceeds from each sale support their mission to cultivate a safe space for outdoor enthusiasts of all backgrounds, genders, and sexualities. 🏳️🌈
This year’s design is by the talented Helena Wu ( @helena_pocket ) — a Maryland-based illustrator known for dreamy colors, nature vibes, and a deep love of climbing. A proud part of the queer art scene, Helena blended her passions into a fun, dynamic graphic that celebrates the vibrancy of the queer climbing community.
And while we’ll be celebrating Pride with the rest of Portland in July, the gym is already full of love this Pride Month. Check out our events page and grab your Pride shirt while supplies last!
🎤 Welcome to Mic’d Uppies, where we take you behind the scenes and into the world of our routesetters as they forerun new climbs to get them juuust right.
After a day of setting, our crew tests each route, tweaking sequences, adjusting holds, and sometimes completely reworking sections to make sure the climb is challenging and fun (and not just weird in a bad way).

Say hey to Gary Ploski 👋
OG community member, cookie enthusiast, and the kind of person who reminds you why this place feels like home.
Garry’s been around since before the doors opened ( construction site tour and all 👷♂️), and his favorite part of the gym? “Unquestionably the community.” 💁♂️
When he’s not climbing, you’ll find him on the soccer pitch, hiking trails, behind a camera, or cheering on the Thorns and USWNT. Basically, he’s always moving, building community, and making the most out of life, cookie in hand.
If Gary were a hold? He’d be a volume: ever-evolving, full of possibilities, and all about creating space for growth. 💫
His advice for newcomers? “It’s yours. The community is here to support you and your development.”
We’re so lucky to have you, Gary!
True friendship is making your pals fall in love with climbing so you can have built-in belay partners forever.

That’s a wrap on the Portland Pulldown! 🔥 Huge thanks to everyone who came out—competitors, spectators, setters, staff, and the friends who just showed up for hot dogs (no shame).
We’re so grateful to share this space with you and to see the gym absolutely buzzing with joy, stoke, and community. Y’all made it a night to remember. 💛
Check out our photo album at the link in bio—we’ll be adding more pics over the next few days, so keep an eye out for yourself mid-send… or mid-snack (we respect both).
Until next year… 👀
Can we get a round of applause (and maybe a shoulder massage) for our incredible routesetting team 👏👏👏
Those pulldown climbs are works of art! Massive thanks to our routesetting squad and Comp Chief Abby Wilson for dreaming big, working hard, and making the Pulldown extra spicy 🌶️💥
