Bouldering only · No ropes · No partner needed

Foundry is a bouldering gym in the old drop forge on Valley Street. There is no rope in the building, no belay test to pass, and nobody to find before you can climb. You walk in, sign a waiver, watch four minutes about falling, and start.

$22 on the door. Shoes $5. No membership pitch at the desk, we promise.

What it costs

No joining fee on anything, ever. The monthly rolls and cancels with two weeks’ notice, because a gym that traps you is a gym that has stopped trying.
