From the reviews

My girlfriend and I had an amazing date day here. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they were able to answer any questions we had. The climbing is TOP NOTCH and great for all levels. I climb v0-v3 and had an awesome time, while my girlfriend said she was really hooked by the v7’s and up.

I met Andrew and Caroline at exit 38 today. Both nice people and really good climbers! I told them opening a gym takes more guts then climbing does. I hope the climbing community will support their gym as it helps to grow the climbing community. 💪

★★★★★ — Jesse, May 2023

Uplift Climbing truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the staff's friendliness and warmth set the tone for a fantastic climbing experience. What struck me the most was the inclusive and friendly atmosphere among both staff and fellow climbers.

★★★★★ — Jason, Oct 2023

A truly great gym. When I moved to the area from further South in Seattle I had some reservations to start here because the gym was smaller than my previous gym. That being said, they turn over setting SO fast in this gym and set densely enough that there is always something to be working on.
