At Wilkes-Barre Climbing Gym—conveniently located in Luzerne County’s revitalized Wilkes-Barre downtown area—we offer a place to socialize, a fun atmosphere, a mental retreat, and a physical outlet for all ages and all levels of fitness ability.

We’re small but mighty with over 6000 sq. ft. of climbing surface, including bouldering, top rope and lead climbing on wall angles ranging from inverted slab to 65°. Coming by yourself? Don’t worry! We have 3 TRUBLUE iQ® Auto Belays so you can still get on the ropes even if you’re climbing solo. Not to mention, we have one of the best climbing communities coast to coast—if we do say so ourselves.

If you’re in it for the gains, we’ve got you covered. You’ll have access to our fitness room (Coming 2025!) featuring cardio equipment and weights. For more focused climbing training, we have hangboards, a campus board, and a 2017 Masters MoonBoard.

Had a birthday party for my little one last weekend and they had an absolute blast! Very clean and fun environment. Staff were incredibly great with the kids. I couldn’t recommend this place more

New to climbing and heard good things about this gym. Was a little intimidated, but the staff took time to explain some basics and made me feel comfortable. Large, clean gym with lots of variation for noobs like me, as well as some more seasoned people that were also climbing during my time there. Will be returning!

A pretty nice local gym. It has three auto belays with a lot of routes set up, one of which is on a decent negative incline wall. A couple of really fun traversal boulders.This is not the most beginner friendly gym.A lot of these routes do not have grades on them, and some of them really require contortion or dragging yourself along the wall to send. It also has some old school holds which can be hard on the hands.I think I would have had more fun if I were in practice but I haven't been on a wall in a couple of months.Still a positive experience, and I'd recommend it.

About the Wilkes-Barre Climbing Gym

Since 1999, our location has been a community hub for novice and serious climbers in the North East Pennsylvania area. Inspired by our time spent on the various outdoor rock in the greater Wilkes-Barre–Scranton–Hazleton area and across the USA, our beloved indoor rock climbing gym reopened in 2024. With a combined 18+ years of climbing experience under our belts, we’re proud to bring a bit of NEPA’s climbing to you!

We welcome all ages and all skill levels. We pride ourselves in being a safe space for all. If you have an interest in challenging your mind, making new friends, and working out your body, climbing is for you!
