Seattle, Washington, United States
Seattle Bouldering Project Fremont is Bouldering Project's north Seattle gym, completed in 2021 in a converted warehouse on Interlake Avenue North. The architects, Mithun, turned the 21,817 sq ft former storage building into two floors of bouldering, with a fitness and training area, a yoga studio and a mezzanine holding changing rooms, showers and lockers. Its sister gym, Upper Walls, is a smaller bouldering-only space a block to the north, and one day pass covers both on the same day.
Problems are set in colour circuits rather than V-grades, an approach borrowed from the boulders of Fontainebleau. For training, Fremont has a Tension Board 1 at 20 degrees and a 2024 Moon Board at 40 degrees, while Upper Walls adds a Kilter Board and a Tension Board 2.
New climbers get an orientation, and two free sessions run every week: a New Climber Meetup on Tuesday evenings and Circuit Sessions on Thursdays. Children from four can join the seasonal after-school clubs, from Pebbles up to Crushers. Monthly climb nights with Rising Roots, 1.5 Gen Asians and the trans community offer a free first visit. Memberships cover all four Seattle gyms and every Bouldering Project gym in the US.

“The climbing routes host a range of difficulties- as a mid-level climber I appreciate the breadth of orange, black and blue routes that challenge me and help me get better”
“Awesome experience especially for inexperienced climbers learning for the first time. Very friendly knowledgeable staff and lots of awesome routes to try out.”
“The routesetting stood out to me. Some of the problems were creative and fun to figure out. … It was fairly busy, but everyone was considerate and gave you space for your attempts.”
