We believe climbing gyms should maintain a strong connection to climbing outside on real rock. While indoor climbing has evolved into a distinct sport—one we respect and embrace—Brooklyn Uprising will be designed to cultivate the strength, skills, and partnerships essential for outdoor adventure.

Climbing gyms are no longer a rarity, but too few truly serve the needs of intermediate and advanced climbers, helping them break through plateaus and reach peak performance injury-free. While we welcome dedicated beginners, BK UP will focus on setting, training, and programming tailored to serious climbers looking to hone their craft.
