For over 22 years, Boulders Climbing Gym East has been giving Madison locals a place to train and practice their beloved sport. Founded by local climbers, the gym began as a humble set up with sculpted walls, clay holds, and gravel floors. 

The climbing gym has now expanded to a new downtown location right off the Capitol Square, where they continue to introduce the sport to hundreds of new individuals every year. Boulders is proud to offer youth programs for all ages, experience levels, and abilities. These programs offer members a Boulders membership along with all the perks that individual members receive. 

Parents can find the perfect program for their children, from the youngest participants to the oldest. Boulders Climbing Gym East is committed to creating a vibrant community, and giving kids the ability to explore and develop a love for the sport of climbing.

The Pebbles program is a great way to introduce children to the wonderful sport of climbing, build strength, and give them a chance to socialize with other kids. Let us redirect that climbing desire in a positive, encouraging environment and burn off some energy at the same time!

Mini-Monkeys is an after-school climbing program that allows kids to climb in a motivating and supportive environment.

As the program progresses kids build on their skills and learn how to use our Auto-belay system, identify wall and hold types, how to tie basic climbing knots, and the basics of rock climbing.

We had a wonderful first experience and would definitely want to return. The staff was highly knowledgeable and helpful. Our children, who ranged in age from 5 to 10, had a great time for a few hours.
