From the reviews
This is a great spot for more problems if the main Fremont Seattle Bouldering Project is crowded, or if you need to switch it up—it’s just around the corner. I’ve found it to be less crowded in general here, and if you go during the day on weekdays, you can sometimes get it to yourself.
Upper Walls has a different layout than the other Seattle Bouldering Project gyms. This facility is located a walk up the road from Fremont and only offers bouldering. There are no workout areas or boards. However, the arrangement here has seating in the center of the room and is great for resting.
Upper Walls is part of Seattle Bouldering Project's new Fremont gym expansion. Upper Walls is a satellite building just a few minutes due north of where the main gym is slated to open. It is meant to be a 24 hours bouldering gym but currently is open from about 9-10 each day and is currently members only.
I don't know why but the routes here seemed the most thought out between all 3 seattle locations. Maybe because it is so small? Either way I had a good time and they have benches inside the whole climb space! What was really weird is most people didn't use them and sat around taking up extra room in the mats.
