Update: The Foundy

We’re making moves to open a brand-new bouldering gym this fall in the River Arts District called “The Foundy”. This state-of-the-art facility will feature roughly 8,000 square feet of walls designed to inspire climbers of all levels.

All of the equipment from our initial design is intact, and we’re in the process of creating the perfect new home for it. The Foundy will deliver an exceptional bouldering experience with dynamic terrain, thoughtful routes, and the quality you’ve come to expect from Cultivate Climbing.

Get ready to climb this fall—The Foundy is on the way!

An Update on Amboy:

To Our Cultivate Climbing Community,

As many of you know, our Amboy location sustained significant damage from Hurricane Helene. We understand the impact this has had on your climbing routines and deeply appreciate your patience and support as we navigate this challenging time.

Currently, we’re working through the complexities of city regulations and government disaster funding, which has made the recovery process slower than we’d hoped. Rest assured, we’re working diligently behind the scenes to create a clear path forward.

While the timeline may not be what any of us expected, our dedication to this community remains unwavering. Thank you for standing with us—your support means the world as we regroup, rebuild, and reimagine what’s next for Cultivate Climbing.

Thank You for Your Support

We are so grateful for your continued support during this challenging time. Your encouragement and active memberships mean the world to us and are helping us rebuild faster.

Thank you for your patience as we respond to membership requests. Together, we’ll overcome these challenges and return stronger than ever.

Stay safe, take care of each other, and climb on!

With gratitude and hope,
The Cultivate Team
