General Information

You do not have to be a member to climb at Pacific Edge! We offer day/month passes, and 5 or 10 punch cards. Day passes are good for the entire day, and are not sold in smaller increments.
No experience… No problem! Our Basic Safety class is the best way to learn how to belay/climb on our taller top-rope walls (12yrs old and up). You could also try bouldering first. You do not need a partner to boulder, and we offer over 3000 square feet of bouldering terrain.
Looking for a climbing partner? Join the Pacific Edge Climbing Buddy Finder on Facebook, or you can use our Belay Buddy Board near the front desk. Pacific Edge does not have on-call belayers or Auto-belays.

Facilities

Pacific Edge is one of the oldest climbing gyms in the country. In the beginning we were one of the tallest and largest gyms in the world! We have about 11,000 square feet of top-rope and lead climbing terrain ranging from 20 to 50 feet.
All of our routes and boulder problems are rotated on a weekly basis to keep things fresh and fun. Typically our bouldering and top-ropes are completely new every 5 weeks or so. Lead climbs are left up a little longer for projecting.
Pacific Edge is committed to creating a safe and welcoming community environment for all of our members and guests. All members and guests have access to the bathrooms that are consistent with their gender identity. Pacific Edge’s locker rooms are public changing and showering facilities. To that end, we expect all members of our community to act with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and consideration, towards each other, at all times.
Pacific Edge has a top-notch Yoga program, and we recently opened our new weight-room!

Belaying is the process of rope management through friction. It is how a person standing on the ground is able to keep a climber safe on a rope. The belayer has the climber's life in his or her hands, literally, by taking in or giving out rope as needed and always being prepared to catch a fall by "braking" the rope. Because we regard belaying as a life saving skill, we devote a minimum of two hours to teaching this in our Basic Safety class.
Anyone who wants access to our top-rope or lead climbing areas must first pass the respective belay proficiency test. There are no exceptions to this. Tests can take between 5 and 10 minutes and are free to take. You may not take your TR or Lead test on the same day as your Basic Safety or Lead class.
In order to climb in the lead cave, you will need to take our lead test. You need to bring in your own UIAA certified rope, have a partner to test with, and be able to lead a 5.10a route. Additionally, you must have a minimum of 10 days experience leading and have led at least one 5.10 climb outside of Pacific Edge. If you have completed our 2-day, 6-hour Lead Climbing class, you may take the test without completing the minimum experience requirements. Once you have passed your test, we require leaders to wear their lead cards on their harnesses.
