Activities, offered for every skill and fitness level, are open to both members and non-members. To join Mazamas, you need to have climbed to the summit of a glaciated mountain peak."

The Circuit Gym is not just another indoor climbing wall. Hell no. How about a rock gym with DJ's spinning? Hell yeah! From their website:

"The Circuit Gym is a 10,000 sq. ft., indoor bouldering playground. Bouldering is an aspect of climbing that is easy to learn, very social, and accessible to people of any age or ability level. The Circuit is a positive environment where anyone can get started in bouldering and everyone has fun!" 

The Circuit is located on SW Macadam.

Portland Rock Gym is a great place to practice your moves and bring your climbing success to the next level in a fun and safe atmosphere. Also a great place to challenge yourself and get your fix when the weather doesn't cooperate. Check out their awesome staff and yoga programs too!
