The setting crew

New problems, every week

Cole Brennan and a three-person setting crew strip and reset a section of the gym every week, so no climb stays up longer than about ten weeks. That’s why members who’ve climbed here for years still find something new on Tuesday.

The cave reopens Saturday, Nov. 7 with 24 fresh problems, free pizza and the setters on the floor to watch and talk beta.

  • Every section reset every 6 to 10 weeks
  • V0 to V9 bouldering, 5.5 to 5.13 ropes
  • Sign up for Setting Day on Nov. 8 and set your own

What climbers say

  • ★★★★★
    “I was terrified of heights and signed up for Learn the Ropes mostly to prove I could. Naomi caught my first fall so gently I laughed. I’ve been back every Wednesday since.”
    Jordan M.Learn the RopesReview on Google
  • ★★★★★
    “Our daughter had her seventh birthday here and eleven kids climbed for an hour. The coaches never raised their voices, and the cake cleanup was somehow already done when we came back from the parking lot.”
    Priya S.Birthday partyReview on Google
  • ★★★★★
    “The setters really do change things every week. I’ve climbed here for three years and the cave still surprises me. Best gym in the county for the price.”
    Tom W.Member since 2023Review on Google
