What's inside
“North Mass Boulder is more than just a climbing gym—it's a dynamic space that caters to a variety of fitness and lifestyle needs.”
“The sauna in the locker rooms are well kept up and clean, something you could see at other places possibly being an issue with the amount of people going in and out.”
“Clean, great facilities, a lot of boulders, kilter, moon 2019, and tension board (I heard soon to be TB2).”

From the reviews
My favorite climbing gym to visit when I'm home for the holidays. Hands down the best bouldering of any gym I've ever been to. At first glance, the number of routes seems a bit low compared to what you might be used to, but I think the sheer amount of wall space balances that out.
This is a really cool place and I'm happy to see it in Indy. I hope it does well. I visited North Mass Boulder as part of a Yelp event. Upon entry I was immediately shocked by how large it was. It's very spacious. I didn't do any climbing but decided to have a latte and do some work upstairs in the co-working space.
The place to boulder if you want to meet people. There is a ton of people every weekday evening and still a lot of people during the weekend as well. The membership is slightly expensive ($75/month), but if you attend the yoga and dance classes like me, it is so worth it.
This is such a rad gym with bouldering (no ropes) climbing routes offered for your beginner climber to your experienced one. There is an awesome shop where you can buy gear, clothes and other items- pretty pricey, but quality stuff. There’s a great weights setup for lifting.
