What's inside
“As someone who visits Minnesota from out of state often, I’ve always enjoyed climbing at the original Bouldering Project but felt the original location could be crowded at times.”
“The fitness area is equally impressive with tons of weights and equipment, a dedicated training room, and a giant hot yoga studio.”
“As a climbing gym first, the facilities are state of the art: a brand new super-wide Kilter Board, Tension Board 2, hang boards of many varieties, a crack wall, and campus boards.”

What climbers say again and again
“The fitness area is equally impressive with tons of weights and equipment, a dedicated training room, and a giant hot yoga studio.”
“If you’re a slab or overhang climber, there are equally great problems for each, and I found the setting to be well thought out and very solid overall.”
“I LOVE the people-friendly staff here; they always say “welcome in” when entering and “have a good night” when I leave for the evening.”
“The terrain is thoughtfully laid out to maximize the space while fostering communal areas to hang out when you're off the wall.”
From the reviews
We are incredibly lucky to have Bouldering Project in our neighborhood because BP is more than just a gym. It's a third space that brings people and communities together. This is something our community desperately needed.
Great addition to the Twin Cities for bouldering. Very similar to Minneapolis Bouldering Project, but with some differences. Shared great lockers means changing in private rooms. Tops must be with in sauna, so being an extra shirt. Sauna is different than the one at MBP, and takes a while longer to feel hot.
Absolutely love this new Bouldering Project location! I think the people putting this all together did a fantastic job. Cool to see them implement a big sauna with infrared heating for people of all genders.
Wonderfull gym all around! Great customer service, huge gym with never ending problems. They even added a new color (teal/light blue) for V11+. You will not find this grade at Minneapolis Bouldering project. The cave section at St Paul is also a lot more expansive.
