Our Gym
Our Story
Boulders Climbing Gym East was founded in 1996 by local Madison climbers who had the intent to bring the sport they loved to the masses and to create a training facility for themselves and their friends. It began as simple sculpted walls, handmade clay holds, and gravel floors.
Exactly 22 years after our first gym opened, Boulders Climbing Gym expanded to a new location in the heart of Downtown Madison right off the Capitol Square.
On December 30th 2025,
After over two decades in existence, Boulders continues to facilitate a vibrant community as well as introduce the sport of climbing to hundreds of new individuals every year.
