We've been using PRG for a couple years now and generally had a good experience. The setting can be infrequent, very aggressive for beginners and sometimes lack emergency down climbs in dangerous spots, but overall good. However they recently increased rates which were already above most gyms in the area, which I could understand, except right after increase rates they cut morning yoga. 7:15 is the only class I can make and being a morning person it was a consistent part of my weekly routine.
Increasing fees should add amenities. To suffer both a cost increase and a loss of the only amenity they had over other gyms has convinced me to switch to Skyhook next month.

Also, the routes that are set at this location are a ton of fun. Seems to be a bit harder grade-wise than other gyms I’ve been to which is good! Some of the boulder problems really push you out of the typical comfort zone for bouldering. I’m very excited to start climbing through the top rope climbs!

My 14yo son and I took the Learn to Belay course with Greg yesterday (Oct 4, 2025) and we had a great experience. Greg was an excellent instructor. My son and I each have little climbing experience and Greg patiently and thoroughly taught is chronologically everything we needed to know to feel confident trusting each other on Belay. We learned how to put on our climbing harness, check it for wear, tie in as climbers and belayers, all of the techniques and communication protocols essential to belaying and then safely practiced them together. At the end of the lesson we had time to go into the gym and try a couple of routes with Greg overseeing us. Once the lesson was completed, my son and I stayed in the gym and continued to climb and belay on our own. We felt comfortable and safe with all the techniques Greg taught us. We were confidently checking each other each time we moved to a different route and tied in. The facility itself is very impressive - many top rope routes with wide range of difficulties. Everything was clean and in great condition with clear labeling and easy to follow routes. We're looking forward to gaining experience and learning more at PRG together. Thanks again Greg!

I’ve had such a great experience at Portland Rock Gym! I started with Beginner’s Night and then took the Intro to Climbing class with Riley. I came in as a total beginner and threw myself into the deep end, and PRG has made it super approachable each time. Step by step, I’ve been able to get a bit more comfortable with everything—auto belays, bouldering, and top-rope—and actually feel like I'm starting to know what I’m doing.

For Intro to Climbing, Riley was a fantastic instructor. Not only did he give me the skills and confidence to climb, but he also felt like a great climbing partner: encouraging, patient, and super friendly.

Really looking forward to coming back and continuing to build on what I’ve learned. The energy here is welcoming and positive, and I appreciate the community PRG creates for newcomers like me!

PRG was the first gym I climbed at when I moved to Portland, I enjoyed it and went often. After some time, the overall quality of the gym environment has decreased, it doesn't feel like a community forward environment. Other gyms in Portland make sure to have community engagement events and nothing ever happens at PRG. The main concerns also being that they've raised their membership prices but diminished the standards of cleanliness and route resetting, they also offer each member 2 guest passes a month, yet don't allow you to bring in the same person...I believe that for the membership price, a member should spend their guest passes on whomever they'd like, whenever they'd like. If you don't use your guest passes, they go to waste. A day pass costs $22...maybe they should give members the options of acquiring these passes in their membership or paying $42 less when they opt out. Or better yet, let people use THEIR guest passes how they want to.
Overall, PRG leaves a lot to be desired. It seems they've put in a lot of effort and money on opening their new facility, while completely ignoring existing issues at their original gym.

This gym has high end, state of the art facilities. Great climbing routes, good variety for workouts, and very clean. However, in the time that I've been climbing here, I have been very disappointed by the money grabbing persona of this gym. I wanted to freeze my membership for the summer and they wanted to continue to charge me $10/month to avoid paying for an initiation fee again. They also encouraged my spouse to buy two months for a summer special after paying $82 for a belay class where he didn't get a certification. In fact, he would have to go in three separate times in order to get his full belay certification which would outlive the $200 in fees that he paid. He wasn't told that the class came with a week of "free day passes". In my personal opinion, that is way too many hoops to jump through for a belay certification and it doesn't put a ton of confidence into their instructors who are teaching said belay classes. Overall, I'll be putting my money where my mouth is and canceling my membership entirely. We've already found a new gym with a much better atmosphere.

They are very difficult to work with regarding scheduling and email responses for my kid rec team. I wanted my kid to finish out the year on a different day for the rec team due to other schedule conflicts but they won't change even though there is room (when I spoke to another person). And of course there is no cancellation until the following months even though it was after the 1st class of the month. Everything must be thru email and takes days/week to response to a simple inquiry. It is very frustrating to work with them on the youth rec team and I wouldn't recommend it to any parents.

I had previously cancelled my membership a few years ago because one of the instructors was harassing me for months to take the lead test every time I came into the gym after I took the lead class. That was very uncomfortable and made me stop climbing there for a while. That instructor is still working there.

Between the previous harassment and how difficult it is to work with them on the youth rec team, I think I am done with them. I will go to movement and source for top ropes and bouldering at skyhook, circuit, and tomo instead. There are still other choices around town.

As a belated relational Christmas gift, my son and I signed up for an Intro to Climbing class and attended last Friday. We had a fantastic time - starting with basic training about gear, difficulty ratings, and safety practices. Beginning with very approachable walls, we graduated to higher and more complex climbing at our own pace. Both auto belay and assisted belay were offered as options. Sang and Lauren were kind, patient, and encouraging teachers. Their enthusiasm to try new things and to guide gently made the adventure super-accessible. It's something we'll absolutely want to do again. I suspect we'll end up taking the Intro to Belay class before too long as well.

This rock gym is big (bigger than it looks from the outside!) with a lot of variety in the walls and boulders. It is well-maintained, friendly, and accessible. Big shout out to Addison & Nate for leading a clear and welcoming class that made me feel ready to jump in to all of it safely - highly recommend taking it as a first step here!

Update after being a member for a while - took another class (the technique 101 class) with Säng and it probably saved me six months of progress and an injury by unlocking basics that I wasn't getting through practice alone. Highly recommend!

Update again: Also highly recommend getting in touch with them for custom classes and guiding, which I found to be a great process, very interactive, and very reasonably priced especially if you're working with a small group of friends. Went with guide Cam for a day of outdoor instruction and it helped us progress a lot in a short time!

I took the "First Ascent" aka "Intro to Climbing" class with Max and was really happy with it and with his approach. We started with the very basics, which were a good refresher for someone like me who has climbed casually with a guide many years ago, but also ideal for someone who’s an absolute beginner. He was patient and thorough and it all felt very safe. We climbed on rope with him on belay, we learned how to use the auto-belay system and got tons of practice climbing on the rope was as well as in the bouldering area (where is lower to the ground and ropes aren’t used). I’ll return for sure, and might take the course specifically about belaying.

~~EDIT: Adding an additional review since I took another class.~~~
On December 21 I took the "Intro To Belay" class with instructor Tyler and feel that I left knowing most everything there is to know about belaying climbers. He was patient, thorough, helpful and encouraging. Would recommend! I’m excited to use these skills to expand the world of climbing. Plus I get a free week of membership to work through my new skills.

Tyler led a great class on belay that I really enjoyed and learned a lot throughout. Would recommend this class to others looking to refresh on old skills or learn new ones.

I have been a member of PRG for several years. 90% of the staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful. The routes are pretty fantastic. The community is wonderful and some have become my closest friends.

I have been quite disappointed the last many months. The owner decided to build another location (Beaverton) and that it just had to be the largest climbing gym in the country. I don’t know why, I suppose for recognition or bragging rights, but to me that sounds like the goal of a narcissist. The original location (Portland) has completely taken a backseat in the last year while the 2nd was being completed. There aren’t enough setters to work both places, (not their fault) hence Portland waiting months on end for old routes to get changed out. The cleanliness of Portland has really gone downhill; in many places it looks as though the carpet hasn’t been vacuumed for weeks and the locker rooms are constantly dirty. Some of the walls were resurfaced a while back while others have spots exposed down to the wood. I have gotten splinters due to this and witnessed the same happening to other climbers. In exchange for all these wonderful things at the Portland location, we now have the luxury of paying $20 more per month than we were paying earlier just this year! I had heard around the gym last year that membership rates were going to increase due to the owner needing the means to pay for the new location. I was discussing this with some of the staff and the owner’s son overheard and said, “Where did you hear that? That is absolutely not true. That is not happening.” He straight up lied to my face.

They just had a Black Friday special if you purchased an annual membership. Even though they offered it in the past, mine did not qualify because I have the early bird membership (before 3pm). I was informed this is because it’s already discounted. Yep, because I only have access to the gym half the day. So on top of the huge increases over the last several months, I was not offered the Black Friday special.

The Portland location is very accessible to me since it’s about a 15 minute walk from my home. I have not been to Beaverton yet and plan to go rarely, if ever. I don’t have the time to fight 26 traffic yet I’m paying for a gym I will probably never use. They really should have more options for memberships; one for each location alone or both if you like. I’ve chosen to write this publicly because no email, suggestion card or discussion with staff (which is absolutely not their fault, they simply can’t do anything) is going to change anything. I doubt this will either, unfortunately. I’ve spoken with countless members about these things and many of us are unhappy, disheartened and feel incredibly disrespected. It’s time for PRG to start showing that they care about their patrons.

Update 12/13/2024: While I still enjoy climbing at this gym things have been on a downward spiral. Since the new gym in Beaverton opened, the NE gym has started falling into disrepair. The skylight has been leaking for over a year, the floor in the rope room has not been updated since I started climbing here (8+ years) and is in bad shape, and the texture on the walls is so worn off in places that the bare wood is splintering off.

Since the rates have gone up, it would be nice to see some investment in the original gym and not just the new gym. A lot of people don't and probably never will climb at the new gym since it is way out in Beaverton.

I think there should be a single gym price (NE or Beaverton) and a dual gym price (the price we all pay now is good for both gyms.)

The staff is always friendly and helpful. I have nothing but good things to say about them. It would just be nice to not have the NE gym be ignored as it is now.

I’ve been going to PRG for several years, and it’s where I’ve learned how to belay, top rope and lead climb. It’s a cozy gym with friendly people, both staff and fellow climbers. The route designs are top notch, but sometimes they get stale after being up for 3-4 months; That has only been an issue this past year while they build out the new gym in Beaverton. Now that it is done, they seem to be back to a couple month cadence with the routes.

As a long time member, I haven’t appreciated my membership going up 3 times in a year. I started at $82, then it was $92 and now $105. They finally eclipsed Movement ($100/mo), a much nicer gym in the Pearl district. They have taller routes, a full and proper workout gym, saunas, provide the belay devices, and keep up with maintenance better than PRG. I actually paused my PRG membership to try out Movement as a viable alternative; I’ve climbed there with punch passes to get some variety lacking at PRG ever since the route setters got spread thin by the new gym buildout. PRG does have the best route setters. But that’s the only win for PRG aside from the coziness. Movement is much bigger!

Such an amazing belay class! I cannot stress enough how incredible the instructor, Erin was. I was late for my class yet they were kind and forgiving. Their instruction was clear and alluded to their deep knowledge and experience with climbing. The class assistant Steven was also an excellent teacher, and was willing to climb many different routes so that I could fully comprehend the belaying process. Overall highly recommend this class, it is tailored to the students needs and the staff always go above and beyond!

I highly recommend the first ascent/into to climbing class. We learned how to tie in, got to climb the big walls with the instructor belaying and with the auto belay. We also got an introduction to bouldering. It really was a great first class if you’ve never been climbing or it’s been a while. Max was a great instructor! Definitely a fun activity!

I went in for my Intro to Climbing class to learn to belay on 11/17/24. I have an auditory processing disorder, which is rare and can be really hard on an instructor. Ollie did a fantastic job getting me set up with a group class with Tyler Mann as the instructor. Tyler had a full class and not one, but two of us with very different hearing problems! He handled the entire class beautifully. Everyone got attention, every piece of every step was clearly explained, shown, written down, practiced and gone over again. By the end of the class, I could even switch out with unfamiliar partners! I feel like a confident beginner and I can't wait to test out my new skills!!

Thanks to everyone at NE who made a new experience an awesome one!

Great spot to give climbing a try for the first time! I took the intro class and Tyler was an amazing instructor. I was a little nervous going into it knowing nothing, but it was super chill and I left feeling pretty confident about what to do next time. I really appreciated the Sunday morning option, since I have a long drive and it seems like all the classes I'd like to take are at night. This class seemed ideal to start by getting a thorough rundown of all the info you'll need to know. Highly recommend!

Great gym. Miguel is the friendliest and chilliest dude ever and Dan taught a really great lead class. He did a real great job explaining the what and why behind the techniques and keeping it engaging.

Update: after a few years of being here I've lowered my rating a bit. It's a good gym, I am still a member, and I still enthusiastically bring guests and recommend the gym, but honest feedback includes that there's a bit of what I would describe as a "we're the only game in town" culture here when it comes to updates, customer service, and price, which as far as having a rope gym on the east side, they are.

I've been going to Portland Rock Gym for about a year now and I love it. I usually go climbing with my son (8) so it's nice to have the options of auto-belays and bouldering. There are a lot of options for both beginners and experienced climbers. It rarely feels crowded or intimidating- everyone I've met there has been lovely. I recently took the 2-day lead climbing class with Max and learned so much. I'm excited to grow my climbing skills in the gym this winter so I can tackle some outdoor climbs next spring.

I recently joined PRG and it has been amazing! I started out top rope climbing & now I am really enjoying bouldering too. I just took a class with Max called movement for climbers that I highly recommend. It really improved my skills and confidence. Max spent 2 solid hours going through tons of helpful techniques. I went out climbing @ Smith Rock the next weekend and my arms were barely tired because I was climbing with much more balance & using my leg muscles way more.

Also a big shout out to Zoe. Her yoga classes are fantastic! I'm planning to try all the classes at PRG since everyone has been so amazing, helpful and supportive.

I recently enrolled in a Lead Belay class with Max and really enjoyed it. I'm fairly new to rock climbing, and if I asked any stupid questions it certainly didn't register on Max's face or during the reply. Max brings lots of patience, kindness, and exudes a collaborative vibe during the class.

Its a 2-session class (3 hrs each, 6 hrs total) that goes over the basics of clipping into draws/anchors, safety, and belay. I now have a solid grasp of the fundamentals and look forward to practicing so that I can pass the test to get certified for lead climbing. Thanks Max!

I recently visited Portland Rock Gym, and I can't say enough about how fantastic this place is! The facility is spacious, with an impressive variety of climbing walls that cater to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced climbers. The walls are well-maintained and offer a challenging yet fun experience with a wide range of holds and routes. The bouldering area is particularly well-designed, offering both overhangs and vertical climbs, which are perfect for pushing your limits.

The gym also offers a comprehensive schedule of fitness and yoga classes, which is a great bonus if you're looking to supplement your climbing with other forms of exercise. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to offer tips or assistance.

Overall, Portland Rock Gym is a top-notch facility that provides a welcoming environment for climbers of all levels. Whether you're looking to improve your skills, try something new, or just have fun, this is the place to be. I highly recommend it!

I took the intro to climbing class with my husband this morning, and have mixed feelings. The class itself was very informative and we learned a lot, however we both could not wait to leave due to one of the instructors. Ollie was lovely, kind, patient, and did a great job of creating a welcoming experience for us newbies, and so were all the other staff members we came into contact with. Unfortunately, we had Zach supporting our learning in the class, as our group was split into a group of two and a group of three. We would not recommend him for folks new to climbing. He was very egotistical and turned us off from wanting to come back to this location. Most notably was a public scolding in front of the group, that my husband and I are quite perplexed by, as well as directly contradicting Ollie at times. Hopefully others have better experiences, but for us it was a hugely disappointing letdown.

I've been a member of PRG for half a year now and have always had extremely positive experiences at the facilities. A large part is due to the many hardworking staff who are working the front desk, constantly setting new routes, making sure the space is safe and sanitized, etc. Some special shout-outs: the setting staff who are always creating new routes for the two facilities; Addison, our belay teacher who taught us how to safely navigate the ropes during our introductory course; Jess, at the Beaverton location's front-desk for always greeting us with a smile and her friendliness; and Teachers Zoë, Amy, Leah, and Critter for always challenging and encouraging my growth through their respective strength and yoga lessons.

Re the routes: always have a healthy balance of routes that are easier, more challenging, and ones that are definitely more aspirational. I appreciate how they each require me to focus on honing a new/existing technique in their own way, and have pushed my physical limits and my creativity as I project them.

I just had the intro to Rock Climb class with Addison . They were AMAZING! I absolutely loved this class. They bring you into a separate room with much smaller , beginner walls and the class was a much more intimate setting , which was fantastic. It helped me focus more on the instructor and what they were saying . I've actually had a class like this before about a year ago at a different rock gym and they had us with all of the other climbers and that made it very intimidating! Addison was so kind and patient and helpful. When you had a question, they answered it without making a person feel silly. For the first climb/belay lesson where we actually began climbing on the wall, they had us go halfway up first and get lowered down so we got to practice in a much less dangerous setting . I have nothing but good things to say about this class and I am SO GLAD that I had this experience! Oh there is also an employee that I saw that I think may actually be Magnus Mitbo!!!! Go check it out!

The facility was the host for the Divisionals this past weekend, Feb 2024. It was in 'competition ready' mode - considering the massive size and number of competitors it was hosting. Yet, is far from finished. Once it is complete, it will be a world-class facility. My only criticism is the viewing in the center climbs were challenging and crowded. I prefer some elevated viewing that means you get a much better view, take take cleaner photos and videos. Other than that, the staff were well organized and the facility will take climbing to a new level and attract more people. Great job!
