For those who haven’t been there in a while, CCC closed recently. Sad to see it go.
But very soon, New York will be home to a very huge new gym in brooklyn called Brooklyn Boulders.
I stopped by the other day to check out how things were coming along. It is just huge. The pictures don’t do it justice. The ceilings look to be close to 40′ high, although they told me 32. They looked pretty high to me. And there are a bunch of large rooms. The space as you walk in is kinda a U shape, with a large lead wall. Along the side are two additional bouldering rooms, and then through the brooklyn bridge shaped doorway there’s another large room. All of these areas will be wall to wall climbing with routes everywhere. Yippee…
Check the site for monthly and yearly membership prices. The gym is nicely situated a quick 5 minute walk from Atlantic + Pacific station which brings in tons of trains or the Union Street Park Slope station, which is a block away.
