Just a few miles from where we opened our first gym in 1994, the new and improved Movement Santa Clara offers 10,000 square feet of bouldering walls with problems for beginners and pros alike. We really took advantage of the space too offering nearly 200 bouldering problems, a kids’ climbing area, a private yoga studio, a fully-stocked gear shop, and full fitness cardio that includes Olympic lifting platforms. Welcome back to Santa Clara!

Get ready to “compete” every month with our new Comp Wall at San Francisco! 🤩 The SF setters will be setting 4 Comp problems that will change each month across our bouldering walls.
The problems will use 4 point starts and zones marked with tape to track your progress. The climbs will be ungraded on the walls and in Kaya. This is to reflect the highly subjective nature of Comp Climbing as well as wanting climbers to focus more on the experience than attaching a grade to the climb. You can suggest what grade you think it is on Kaya!
The bouldering zone will rotate back to a commercial set after 1 month and a different wall will become the Comp Set for the next month.
Check back here each month for which wall will be hosting the latest Comp problems!

Last weekend, we held our 5th annual Battle for Bolts overnight climb-a-thon at our Belmont gym to raise money for the American Safe Climbing Association (@asca_bolt_replacement), and we’re stoked to announce that with y’all’s help, we raised over $2000 🥳
A Big Thank You to all our participants and to our sponsors and vendors! @arcteryxnorcal @guayaki @stodgyfingers @v12resole and @bespokecraftdesign
If you’d like to learn more about the ASCA and the incredible work they do, you can do so by visiting safeclimbing.org
Happy safe climbing!
A couple weeks ago, Sunnyvale held a cultural celebration of Diwali, widely known by many South Asian community members as the Festival of Lights! The event included climbing games, crafts, bouldering workshops, and a yin yoga session and sound bath.
Thank you to all who joined in on the celebration 😊
WHAT. A. DAY. 🤩
We held our last Friction Series Comp of the season at Santa Clara a few weeks ago, and it was a BLAST with a nail-biting Finals.
Thank You to our amazing routesetting team, front desk staff, sponsors, vendors, and photographer @nick_lobue! You all helped make this Comp one for the books.
The photo album has dropped and can be found on the Santa Clara Facebook page and linked in our bio!

We`re teaming up with @accessfund this month!
Access Fund is the national advocacy organization that leads and inspires the climbing community toward sustainable access and conservation of the climbing environment. They represent America`s 8 million climbers in their work to protect and conserve the land, fight for sustainable access, and build a community of inspired advocates. And by supporting nearly 150 local climbing organizations around the country, they put boots on the ground to protect climbing areas like (insert regional crag here)
This month, we`re stoked to raise funds for Access Fund`s important work. When you visit the front desk in November, you can add $1 to any purchase you make. Every dollar goes directly to supporting Access Fund`s efforts to protect and conserve the climbing areas we love.
