In the City
Midweek Indoor Rock Climbing

This Is the Closest Thing You’ll Find to real crags in the City!

With over 5,000 square feet of indoor climbing surface and 60 routes that are redesigned monthly, even the most experienced climber won’t get bored. Many challenges await you at this top-notch climbing gym!

This wall’s distinct layout makes it possible to work on a very large variety of climbing techniques and strength exercises that you will transfer directly to the rock.

The layout includes the following: a cave complete with a 40-foot multi-stepped lead roof (set in average of 34 degrees), two 20-foot squeeze chimneys, a 160-foot bouldering route, a bouldering room, a campus and hangboards.

Outdoor Bound staff will be on hand to instruct and belay, and you will learn to belay, too.

Experienced, Fun & Qualified Guides

From cycling across the United States to leading horse treks through New Zealand to scaling Nepalese peaks, Outdoor Bound guides have real-world outdoor experience. Collectively, they have hiked, biked, climbed and kayaked tens of thousands of miles around the globe.

Whether their professional backgrounds are as teachers, personal trainers, artists, environmentalists or business leaders, they all have an extensive knowledge of the natural world and local history. Each guide has also passed a rigorous guide certification program and is trained in wilderness first aid or as a Wilderness First Responder.

Diverse & Interesting Groups

There is no typical Outdoor Bound participant. While ages typically range from 20 to 50, those who come to experience outdoor adventure range from singles to couples, from lawyers to waiters. They are a mix of women and men. While the group is always diverse, you will certainly feel welcome. Our guides go the extra mile to make the atmosphere of each trip social and fun. Many people in the Outdoor Bound community have forged lasting friendships as a result of our trips.

New Experiences

Skydiving, ice-climbing, hot-air ballooning, skiing and hiking every weekend are just a few of Outdoor Bound’s year-round adventures. These trips are accessible to everyone, including the novice, who might feel a little uneasy, the young urban professional trying to get away and even the adrenaline junkie looking for a new rush.

Environmental Awareness

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures,” is the Leave No Trace motto embraced by Outdoor Bound. From purchasing bamboo T-shirts to printing with soy-based inks on recycled paper, Outdoor Bound strives to create the least environmental impact possible while on trips and in the office.
