BUILT BY CLIMBERS.
PROGRAMMED FOR THEM.

Forty thousand square feet across three rooms: a 60-foot bouldering cave, a top-rope wall that runs the length of the building, and a competition-spec lead wall. Three setting teams that rotate weekly. Routes graded by a panel of five, not by the setter who put them up.
