There shouldn't be any time where our current climbing walls are closed while we transition to being a bigger gym!

 

You'll still get new boulders every week throughout the build of the new space. Then once we open, you'll have even more climbs to keep you busy every time you come in!

New amenities

Spray Wall

A spray wall is a great training tool to improve your climbing. Similar to training boards, spray walls offer access to holds in a configuration that don't change so you can work on projects long term. You can also gauge progress over time by coming back to climbs you've worked on in the past. But even better than a training board, a spray wall offers a bigger variety of hold types and a more 3 dimensional experience blending the benefits of a training board with more variety.

​

More Space

 

  • Bigger fitness loft

  • A work/study loft

  • Group meeting space

  • More bathrooms

More CLIMBING!

We know we serve Black Hills climbers, so of course we're adding more SLAB!  Including a slab arete! AND we're adding more gentle overhang with 20 and 30 degree wall angles.  It's a 50% increase in space for set boulders.

​

How setting rotation will work with more space (probably)

The new wall will separate into two new setting zones--making 6 total setting zones. One zone will be set each week, meaning the full (larger) gym will be fully reset every six week.  Longer on your project but still new routes every week.  Win for everyone!

Donate to the expansion

We are going to have a lot more terrain to cover when we expand! In order to get routes on the wall, we're asking for your help to get some more holds and volumes to fill the new walls! Any amount helps

​

Donate at the $30+ and get an exclusive sticker

Donate $100+ and your name will be on the wall on our first set in the expanded space

Donate $20+ and your name will be on a dedicated climbing hold on our first set in the expanded space

Thank you for your generosity! Basecamp wouldn't be here without climbers like you
