Have you been wanting to learn how to climb, but are nervous to learn in front of people or feel intimidated by the gym environment?

Are you looking for variation in your training routine to help you get stronger all-around or get you off that plateau?

The Boulder Yard offers private lessons and coaching! Our one on one instruction touches on the very basics of rock climbing to advanced technique and training, depending on your needs and goals. We will get you fit in the proper climbing shoes, lead you through appropriate stretching and pre-climbing movement, teach you on-the-wall basics, and beyond.

Our private coaching is led by long time climbers with dynamic climbing and coaching backgrounds, who can guide you through intermediate and advanced training techniques and exercises to up your game and send your projects!

Schedule an assessment today with an instructor and see what you are really capable of!

FACILITY DETAILS

The Boulder Yard is a 8,000 sq ft facility with 3,500 sq ft of climbing surface. The walls top out at 16ft and feature slab, power slab, dihedral, roof features as well as 45, 60, and 30 degree overhangs. We set weekly to keep problems fresh, and we typically have around100 climbs on the wall at any given time. Climbs vary in difficulty from things anyone can do to things almost no one can do, and everything in between. We are a bouldering ONLY facility, meaning our climbs simulate what it's like to climb on an actual boulder outside, or on the ceiling of a cave. As such there are no ropes at our facility and no need for harnesses, belay devices, belay training or any of those complicating factors. Climb above and fall on big fluffy pads. Then hang out on said fluffy pads with your friends.

The main floor of the facility also offers a small weight room: free weights, cable machines, cardio machines, TRX, boxing equipment, foam rollers, and a squat and bench rack as well. Upstairs we have a viewing balcony, martial art/ yoga studio and a kids area featuring a small 8ft climbing wall and a variety of toys and stuff to keep the young ones amused.

THE BOULDER YARD DIFFERENCE

We set and grade our problems to simulate outdoor climbing. This means you will find our sets harder than other gyms in the area, but we believe it will better prepare you to venture outside and get on some real rocks! To that end we also teach weekly beginner classes, monthly skills clinics and organize regular member trips to local boulders and occasional weekend trips to more distant climbing hot spots like the New River and Red River gorges.
