    They are the bomb.com. Everything they do is geared towards creating a friendly environment and really creating a climbing community in Madison. They offer great advice for those looking to get better and the gym is an amazing place to meet people. Also the yoga is some of the best I've ever been to. Boulders does it right and they genuinely care about the climbing community.


    +1 for bringing back "the bomb.com" 😁

    Boulders climbing gym amazed me because although I had never climbed a day in my life, they welcomed me as if I was a long time friend and experienced climber. Their employees were so friendly and extremely efficient at teaching my friends and I how to use ropes and harnesses to climb.

    Great place to climb indoors. Good place to get kids started. Nice air conditioning. Don't take my word for but check it out for yourself!
    It's a little funny to read reviews complaining about a climbing gym being dirty. First off I've never found this place to be overly dirty for gym. Second, it's a gym where people go to work out and sweat. Third, it's a climbing gym, any dirt actually adds to the unique ambiance. Last time I climbed at Devils Lake I noticed some dirt there too.

    Boulders is a great place to climb whether you're beginner or expert, serious or casual. There are a variety of routes, and they change them up often, so there's always a new challenge. There are plenty of top rope, lead, and bouldering options for all skill levels.

    ... Whether you're already a climber, looking to get into the sport, or just want a fun way to get some exercise, Boulders is great!

    My child is a natural climber. I have zero experience with the sport of climbing, but we dropped in to try it out, and now we are hooked! The environment is supportive, friendly, positive, and welcoming. The instructors always make us feel like we can take on new challenges, and freely share their knowledge. My child is non-competitive by nature, but now enjoys climbing competitively, because the atmosphere at the gym is always so positive - she competes against herself, and always manages to feel good about just trying her best. ...
