A few short years ago, we saw that Cleveland was missing a world class climbing gym on the west side with plenty of roped climbing, bouldering, and more. After looking long and hard for a location, we found the perfect spot at the historic Masonic Temple in Ohio City. Cleveland Rocks boasts 3 separate climbing areas, locker rooms, and a workout area. The facility is great for people of all ages and skill levels!
Our approach is simple: First, community is the most important thing to us. The culture at Cleveland Rocks is one founded on inclusivity, and there’s a spot for everyone and anyone who wants to be a part of this space. Second, we want to create opportunities for indoor climbers to safely and responsibly transition their love of climbing to the great outdoors. We try to offer climbing access and education at accessible prices, with scholarship and volunteer opportunities available. Come swing by to see the facility for yourself!

Roped Climbing
18k sq ft, 54+ ft tall climbing walls with unique features
Cleveland Rocks has two separate roped climbing rooms: the Canyon Room and the Atrium. There are endless top rope options for climbers of all experience levels, along with some lead-only overhanging areas for experienced climbers looking to train and build endurance. Climbers who make it to the top of the Atrium get to enjoy a fantastic lookout view over Ohio City, downtown Cleveland, and Lake Erie. It is an experience not to be missed!
Never climbed on ropes before? No problem! Come on by, and on your first visit, our staff would be happy to give you a complimentary belay up to the top of the wall. If you find that you love it, take one of our Learn to Belay classes so you can gain the skills you need to safely climb on your own!

Bouldering
15-16ft tall walls, 100+ problems
Bouldering is a great way to get into climbing without having to learn rope safety. Our bouldering lounge has varied surfaces and difficulty ratings, and our routesetters aim to cater to both seasoned climbers and beginners alike.
On your next visit, be sure to take advantage of the record player and spin vinyl while you boulder! If you've got your own collection, we invite climbers to be their own DJ and bring their own records to play as well.
If you are brand new to the sport, join us for our Beginner's Bouldering Night (1st and 3rd Friday of each month)! Our friend and fellow climber Dan Russell will be hosting, and he'll give you the tips, tricks, and feedback you need to feel confident trying new climbing techniques on the wall.

Training / Weights / Yoga / Fitness
Campus boards, spray walls, and free weights
The bouldering lounge currently has a large spray wall and training area with campus boards, free weights, and a bench press!

Many classes will be included with a Cleveland Rocks membership. Other classes will have an affordable drop-in fee, and Cleveland Rocks members will get a discount on those classes not included in their membership.
