What's inside
“Set in an old church that has been beautifully upcycled into an awesome boulder gym.”
“Downstairs a newly renovated training room (circuits) w/ campus/fingerboards, semi-full gym, yoga/barre room, and a designated kids area - awesome if you’re a kid/parent.”
“They even have a kilter board which we didn’t see online and a gym area downstairs.”

From the reviews
A cool gym in an awesome old church. It’s a lot bigger than the pictures online make it look, which was a pleasant surprise. They even have a kilter board which we didn’t see online and a gym area downstairs. The setting is a lot of fun but the grading is very soft.
I don't think stars are enough to describe the experience i had , the uniqueness of the gym (church) , or the welcoming community with in it. This gym is incredible. I found myself In awe while walking around and see what they had to offer. This gym uses the space it has very well.
Out of the 40ish climbing gyms I’ve been to, this is hands downmy favorite. The route setting is word class - consistently thought-provoking and flowy. If you’re a crusher there might not be as much for you. If you’re a V4-V7 climber then you’ll be absolutely delighted.
This bouldering gym is very different. It’s in an old renovated church with beautiful stained glass windows and wood inlays. It’s incredible. It’s also larger than you’d expect from the outside. We brought our young kids to climb and it was very reasonably priced and they have small sized shoes for your little climber.

Brimstone Boulders hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Kids classes & camps at Brimstone Boulders
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at Brimstone Boulders — climbing classes, school-break camps, or a youth team where kids learn technique from coaches instead of just scrambling around.
