About

Bouldering in a former church

Pure Bouldering Gym is an independent, family-run bouldering gym on South 8th Street in Colorado Springs. It opened in 2013 in a renovated former church and shares the building with Gearonimo Sports, an outdoor gear shop selling new and used kit, where members get 10% off.

The climbing is spread over several levels, with around 6,500 sq ft of bouldering on walls up to 17 ft high. Visitors describe three distinct rooms, and the terrain includes a horizontal 45-foot cave, a prow and overhangs downstairs, and a heated, covered outdoor boulder landing on recycled-rubber chips, where you move your own mats. There is also a training basement with campus boards and fitness equipment, plus a kids' climbing room.

Setting and community

  • Resets: one section of wall is reset every Monday afternoon, so there is always something new.
  • Community Night: every Tuesday from 18:00 to 21:00, climbing the new set together.
  • Classes: a monthly adult Intro to Bouldering class, discounted yoga for members and private lessons.
  • Ladies Climb Night: on the third Thursday of the month, women climb for $10 from 17:00.

Passes and access

A day pass is $16 and memberships start at $45 a month with no initiation or cancellation fees. The 24/7 membership (18 and over) adds key-card access at any hour. Shoes and chalk can be hired at the desk, and crash pads can be rented for a day at the boulders outside.
