From the reviews

Skyhook is a solid bouldering gym and an exceptional community addition. I love this spot and after a few months of coming multiple times a week, it was an easy decision to bump up to the yearly membership.

★★★★★ — Katherine, Feb 2025

This is exactly the bouldering gym that Portland needed. Amazingly fun boulder sets and a friendly staff. All of this coupled with 24/7 access (for members) makes this the ideal bouldering gym for those who care about bouldering. You won’t find and “make you feel good jug ladders” here.

★★★★★ — Leon, Aug 2024

Great vibes. I've been a member at several other larger corporate gyms where I enjoy roped climbing and big gym amenities, but I'm happy to leave it all behind for a cheaper membership and the nice community gym energy here.

★★★★★ — Carter, Jun 2025

Skyhook Bouldering is an absolute gem! It’s more than just a climbing gym—it’s a welcoming space where you can connect with an incredibly friendly community. Cody’s passion for climbing shines through in the thoughtful design and atmosphere he’s created.
