Largest Bouldering Gyms in America
Background photo by Fred Pompermayer, courtesy of Touchstone
Bouldering has been booming. According to data from CBJ’s 2023 Gyms & Trends report, 96% of the 218 bouldering gyms in the United States at year’s end opened in just the past 14 years. Bouldering gym builds—as opposed to climbing gym builds where roped climbing is the focus—have been on an upward trajectory since practically the start of the century, but especially of late. In 2023, 68% of the new climbing gyms stateside were bouldering gyms—an all-time high for a calendar year.
OnSite
 Last year, Bouldering Project opened the largest new U.S. bouldering gym, out west in Arizona. But where in the country are the largest bouldering gyms of all-time that are still in operation today? We checked with the gym operators to determine which U.S. bouldering gyms are offering the most climbing, compiling a list of the top ten. Below are the ten largest bouldering gyms in America, based on total square feet of climbing wall surface. In tandem with this article, be sure to check out the Largest Climbing Gyms in America.

JOB SEEKER TIPS:

Master Your LinkedIn Profile With These Hacks By Noto Group “Titles are the quickest way for a recruiter to identify if a candidate is at the right level and has the right scope for a role. That said, recruiters often begin a search with different titles they are open to. For instance, “Director of Marketing”, “Marketing Director”, “Marketing Brand Director” or “Sr. Marketing Manager”. If you are someone looking for a new role and have an obscure title, it is acceptable to change it to something more common within your industry.” Read the full article here
