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.

Tried calling several times, but the phone number listed on Google and on their website is not active really want to try them out. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. I’m only giving one star to get their attention so they know that the phone number listed is attached to a cell phone with no voicemail active

Their 10 day vertical climber pass is a solid deal. Also decent lineup of auto-belay options.

Amazing gym! Focus has some of the tallest bouldering walls of any gym I’ve been to, which made it challenging and fun. They make great use of the space and stick to what matters most to all of us: climbing and community. (Plus bonus, it always feels good to support a local business).

The facility is clean, the safety rules are clear, and there's a great selection of routes for both bouldering and auto-belay, which means even someone out of shape like me can have a good time and find success. Plus, every staff member I've met has been super friendly.

I'm traveling through town and wanted a temporary membership while I'm here. Focus totally met my needs and even had a special where I could show off my skills and get some free merch. Joe (the ower) is super knowledgeable and helpful, he even gave me some pointers for increasing my finger strength. Tanner did an awesome orientation, in depth but not overdone. The gym is a good size and offers both bouldering options and auto belays of varying difficulty. It was never packed when I went so I didn't have to wait to climb and I was able to traverse all around on the boulders without being in anyone's way. Highly recommend this gym 💜

Clean facility, staight-forward safety rules, a wide selection of routes for both bouldering and auto-belay so even an out-of-shape old person like me can find success. Each of the staff members I have met have been extremely friendly.

Fantastic climbing gym! Big with many autobelays and a gnarly overhang on the bouldering wall. The owners are super sweet and walked us through everything we needed to know

This is my favorite gym for when I’m visiting family for the holidays! Feels like an old school climbers gym (tough climbs! lots of crushers! training center with tension board, campus board, and multiple hangboard) but without any snobby vibes (friendly people! lots of families and kids! lots of beginners!).Love that they have tall bouldering walls and that many routes are graded up to a halfway point with an option to continue on. It’s nice for those of us with injury prone ankles but still who want to complete a problem without bailing early! Wish more bouldering gyms would implement this.Also, thanks for being one of the few remaining gyms to still have auto belays! Those of us traveling through appreciate it.edit: This gym continues to be top notch and far better than gyms all over the country. Freaking quality setting 🔥

A LOCAL GYM! Just started climbing a little over one month ago. Tanner is great. From the moment I checked in for the first time to this very day he has been nothing but professional and kind. After my third visit he greeted me by name! It reminded me when I was a regular at a bar. Now it’s a climbing gym. Oh how the times have changed. Orientation was super easy to follow, the pacing was comfortable where it didn’t feel rushed and I felt safe afterwards. The overall environment and culture is very relaxed. Everyone that climbs there is really nice too. It’s very clean. Bathrooms are spotless. The shared chalk always seems clean (I don’t really know if it can be dirty lol). The walls are clean, I never feel gross touching them, and that goes for the mats as well. My only complaint is I can’t walk there because I really don’t like driving. I accidentally walked in on a competition day and the man running the competition was very enthusiastic. It was fun to watch. As I was watching he asked if I wanted to join, he quickly recognized that I didn’t really know what was happening and then he took the time to explain how competitions work. I declined the invite to join but I felt very welcome. There was still plenty for me to climb that days regardless. I went from a complete beginner to someone that thinks about climbing throughout my days. Thank you Focus!!

The owners Joe and Jacie are the absolute sweetest! Super accommodating and helpful every time I come here. Joe and his team enjoy providing fresh, new paths for climbers as they update the routes on each climbing wall. LGBTQ+ friendly and just an overall great place to climb for beginners (like myself) and experts! Also the music they play is fire 🔥. I'd give them six starts out of five if I could! Would recommend.
