Climbing Gym

Our climbing gym is the best in the area! It features 2000 square feet of the best in rock climbing technology, with the Red Point Auto Belay System and a surface that simulates the outdoor experience. We have the only 40’ self-supporting pillar in the nation, running from the floor to the ceiling in the very middle of the climbing gym. The surrounding walls offer 36’ high courses that challenge climbers at different skill levels.

And don't worry if you don't have the gear! You can rent everything from the harness, shoes, and chalk. We also have a pro shop located at the base of the wall. We carry many lines that are well known in the climbing community such as Black Diamond, Evolv, Trango, Prana and Mad Rock. We are constantly expanding our selection and inventory, so stop by often to stay up-to-date with us!

As technology develops, and as our membership grows, so will we. We are currently under construction as we are setting up our bouldering wall which will make any climbers experience unforgettable. We’re very excited to develop a community of rock climbers and passionate outdoor connoisseurs who want to grow, develop and explore along with us.

Whether you are a student looking to try your skills at the wall, a family looking for a weekend outing with your kids, or a serious climbing guru wishing to hone your technique and prepare yourself for the outdoors, The Bridge is the place for you! We are always looking for climbers who want to help us develop our gym and climbing community. Click Here if interested.

Climbing Trips

We have just returned from our latest rock climbing trip to Horseshoe Ranch. The diversity of the group and challenges of the rock's is what made the trip unforgettable. We had an awesome time and got some really good climbing in. Not only that but we found some new prodigies along the way. Check out some of our photos by clicking on the link below:
