What do I need to do to climb at FOCUS?
All you need to do is show up. We are well set up for first-time indoor rock climbers. If you bring anyone under 18 they absolutely must have a waiver filled out by their parent or court appointed legal guardian. Immediate family members, step-parents and close friends DO NOT COUNT AS LEGAL GUARDIANS. If you are a legal guardian, you will need to provide documentation.

What is bouldering? Bouldering is a fast-growing and social style of rock climbing. Climbers do not use ropes or harnesses, but scale shorter walls above a thick, padded floor. There is very little special knowledge or equipment required to start bouldering, making it fast and easy to learn and enjoy.

What should I bring?
You should wear loose comfortable athletic clothing and comfortable socks. If you have long hair bring something to tie it back. Rental shoes for indoor rock climbing are available for $7. Please- no exposed buttocks/nipples or sport-bra only for your top.

Who can climb? Anyone. One of the great things about climbing is that anyone can excel. Unlike many sports in which only specific body types can excel (like height in basketball) anyone can rock climb. Also, because of the slow, controlled movements involved with indoor rock climbing, many climbers can continue into their 60’s and 70’s.

Can I drop my kids off and go run some errands? Only if your kids are 14 years and older. If your kids are 13 years and under, DIRECT parental supervision is required. Parents are required to notify the manager on duty before leaving their children at Focus. Unattended children 13 years and younger will not be allowed to climb or be in the gym area.

Are there age limitations for kids? Recommended ages are 4 years and up to climb at Focus. Parents with children 6 years old and younger must be with their child/children at all times on bouldering mats and assist them with the auto-belay devices. We have had successful climbing with kids as young as 18months.

Why climb?
Indoor rock climbing is a full body workout. The common conception that climbing is all about upper body strength is completely false. Elegance of balance, movement and economy of strength are much more important. More than anything, rock climbing is fun. It combines the physicality of sport with the analysis of logic games and the mental control of tightrope.

Anyone under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian to enter the gym. Click Here for a copy of the waiver.

I have tried to call this location multiple times, throughout multiple days and no one answers. If you can't answer a simple question without leaving... a voice mail then I guess you don't need our business.read more

My kids love climbing at parks and my youngest is not a quite 3 yet. I thought I would feel more comfortable with them wearing harnesses, which I... did. But they didn’t want to wear them. They loved the bouldering side. The front desk associate did a great job with orientation and everyone was very welcoming. We’ll definitely try it again when the boys get older!read more

Quality bouldering with a great atmosphere. All the essentials for training, and even a bunch of self belay climbs. Awesome place! I will return.

No top rope or lead routes, mostly a bouldering focused gym with high routes to boulder on. There are auto belays though. I went on a Wednesday... night and it was busy, but mostly club kids which is always cool to see. Almost - 1 ⭐ cuz the club kids kept showing me up on my routes 🤣read more

I’ve been going to Focus Climbing Center for over 3 years and it is phenomenal. The membership is well worth it. There is a massive bouldering wall... ranging from slab to roof, 8 auto-belays and workout equipment. I highly recommend checking this place out for both bouldering and rope! Thank you for creating a community that I’m proud to be a part of!!!read more

On a work trip a friend and I dropped in here to get a climb session in. Tanner was great at laying out the safety features during my 1st visit. Auto... belay was fun. Routes were decent. We didn't boulder. It was not super busy which was nice for a Tuesday evening!read more

I've been climbing here since August 2023 (I'm writing this in November 2023 for reference) and I have so much fun every time I go to focus (3ish... times a week). Extremely friendly employees and a very peaceful atmosphere in the gym. I also appreciate that this place is a small business and not a national chain, you can certainly feel the love for the place from the owner and employees.read more

This is a great gym! It's fun, great setters, and they change up routes frequently. I learn a lot climbing here and feel inspired to get better.
