Bouldering is a type of climbing that’s easy to start if you have not climbed before - it is rock climbing stripped down to its pure essentials. You can jump right in, no hassle with ropes or required courses. The walls are up to fifteen feet high and outfitted with thick cushy pads below to keep you safe. Your challenge is to climb short but tricky bouldering "problems" (a route, or sequence of moves) using balance, technique, strength, and your brain (“problem solving").
The climbs are high enough to be exciting and challenging, but not so high that they become overly intimidating. Falling is perfectly OK and expected - that is what the thick pads are built for. With bouldering, it is just you, the wall, and your homies.

We’ve got you covered. The only thing you need to boulder is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag (to keep your hands dry). We rent both of these items at the gym to those who don’t have their own. Just wear something comfortable to move around in and come on by.

Every experienced climber started there. If you have never climbed before, rest assured, you don't need experience or even any special gear to get going. Just wear something comfortable and we will handle the rest, renting you climbing shoes and chalk bags and providing instruction and a tour of the facility upon arrival.

Yep! Berkshire Boulders is a climbing gym for all ages. However, if you are planning to visit with your kids, we ask that you maintain direct supervision over them during the entirety of their visit.
