    My boys and I went on a great climbing trip with Misha. She did an amazing job of challenging each person at the level they were at. She was a very patient and supportive teacher who was really good at engaging even the shyest people on the trip. It was a fun day and this company also makes safety a priority. Truly a top notch company.

    Rare Earth Adventures allowed me to have an incredibly life changing experience by climbing Mt. Adams (the second highest peak in the PNW) as my first ever mountaineering trip. I was part of a team raising money for a specific breast cancer research project through a non-profit organization Climb For Hope. As a young breast cancer survivor who loves adventure, I was concerned I would never be able to attempt a trip like this due to physical limitations and fears. Rare Earth not only made this possible, they are a major reason why I succeeded. Julie and Brandon were excellent guides. Prior to the trip they were available to talk me through questions and concerns. I had to borrow all of the equipment necessary for the trip, when Julie saw that none of the available packs fit me correctly, she brought me her very own pack to borrow and it fit like a glove. On the mountain, whether it was by standing next to me, lending a helping hand, or talking me through difficult moments, both Julie and Brandon helped me conquer all of my fears and challenges safely. They have great skill, patience, and professionalism. They love what they do and they approached everything with great care and love on our trip. They very clearly hold a special place in their hearts the Climb For Hope and work hard to help the non-profit organization raise funds through adventure like the one I experienced.

    I promise there's a tent under there. Mt. St. Helens.

    Travis grilled a great dinner, provided a hearty breakfast, and we rounded on the weekend with a solid second day of surfing.

This wins me over every time as some of you may know. :) There are a number of walls of varying difficulties, rental climbing shoes in good condition, nice, laid-back staff.... and... some nice looking beers on tap for grown ups to relax with after a climb, while the kiddos wind down at the ping pong table or with crafts, games and books. Great place to spend a rainy afternoon. I'd be so stoked if we had this business in NYC.

I can honestly tell you my finger strength to weight ratio is not right for rock climbing, but it really does make you want to come back and keep trying again and probably put down the extra burger!! They have a $22 fee for two weeks pass as of jan 2023... you can sign up for as little as one month with no sign-up fees, and nothing about that!!! You just need to give two weeks notice to cancel so basically the minimum you can pay is $44 for a month! I'd say it's well worth it if you didn't have to pay for the damn kids to come with you! They have a small weightlifting session and yoga classes very easily. You could make this a gym if your main intention was to be healthy and have fun. Come and give it a shot. Need more unique business is like this opening up in our area.

Before posting this review, I have tried contacting the owner several times about child safety -- with no response. Here are a couple of child safety issues I have observed: -- Instance #1: About two months ago on a week night, a one and a half year old ran out from the kids center. And due to short staffing, it wasn't noticed by staff members. Luckily, I stopped the child from running out to the gym floor. When I brought this to the director's attention, (Cindy), she said that it never happened because the cameras didn't see it happen. Scoffing and rolling her eyes. She then got back on her tablet, and ignored me. --Instance #2: The child care was short staffed. When this happens, they put the older kids with the infants/toddlers. On a few of those instances, other parents and I, have seen the older kids hurt the smaller children (violently at times). After witnessing this, I tried to find the Director and she was no where to be found. She was on "Break". -- Instance #3: Last night (4/7/26) at roughly 5:15 pm. There was one staff member to probably 20 kids. I tried to talk to the director. Once again, she rudely rolled her eyes at me. Then her and the front desk girl started laughing and mocking me. And said within earshot, "What's her f**** problem". Hopefully after posting this review the, child safety issues are addressed. And the employee culture as well. ***Review update: The owner finally contacted me, and he said all the right things. I will update the review further if changes regarding the safety issues and toxic employee culture are truly addressed. ***

Having actually helped lay the foundation back in my construction days yep, I poured the slab in the parking lot and near the Starbucks next door it was surreal to come back and see the finished masterpiece towering above me. My wife and I signed up for a starter class, and let me tell you, the excitement is real. The scale of this place is jaw-dropping; every wall, every route, every corner feels massive and meticulously designed. The staff is top-notch, friendly, and clearly passionate, which makes getting started a breeze. It's the kind of place where you can feel the history and effort in every inch, and yet it's buzzing with energy and accessibility for beginners. Coming back as a participant instead of a laborer it's a full-circle kind of thrill. Blown away doesn't even begin to cover it. If you're even remotely interested in climbing, Portland Rock Gym is the place to be

    Excellent gym | very aesthetic…read more This is the biggest climbing facility I've ever been to. It is one of those climbing chains, like Movement, so they have a lot to offer for climbers and fitness enthusiasts. Keep in mind that I'm writing this review with a background of climbing over 15 years and have visited many gyms throughout the country and overseas. The gym boasts over 20,000 sq ft with 17ft tall boulders and 40ft walls of rope routes. You can never be bored here. In fact, there's so much space that they don't know what else to do with it! They have lounging areas, a couple of bathroom areas, training board systems, and weight training. But let's talk bouldering first... Some of the routes I've jumped on felt intuitive. Good flow. There were a few that puzzled me, though. One route was an overhanging low grade route that I anticipated to be an easy warm up, but instead they placed a hold that forced me to do a less than ideal move for the grade. I was spooked. A friend agreed. Overall, they have lots of area with various range of problems for a beginner climber to an advanced veteran. No kids area, but I'd say the area closest to the front desk to the left is the most kid friendly spot. The second biggest feature here is the newly opened rope area. It's impressive and overwhelming. There are about 5 auto belay systems, so you can get a pretty decent work out if you came solo. I saw routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.11 when I did autobelay here. There are two crack climbs one can practice in the auto belay area as well. There is everything imaginable from 5.4 to 5.12/13 here, including overhanging routes. Also, I was impressed with their various holds! One set of black holds were used for a stemmy route, which I thought was neat. I believe they set every 8 weeks. Community? I'm not sure. I think when you are a gym like Movement, it's hard to cultivate a tight-knit climbing community, like Santa Rosa's Vertex or Tigard's Circuit, but I think there are little climbing groups that make up a community. People are friendly though. This place is well thought out. I'm impressed and found the staff to be helpful. A day pass is $27. For a place like this, it's worth it. You can easily spend 3-4 hours here.
