Cascade Crags

Cascade Crags has since be bought out by vertical world, but that doesn’t change the fact that the people are friendly and the facilities are top notch.
I enrolled in the learn to climb series and have really enjoyed the instruction and the climbing. I don’t dig just bouldering and much prefer to climbing with a belay partner. Sadly, I’ve lost my climbing buddy to a conflict of work schedule and haven’t had the chance to get up on the wall.
I would love to get back to climbing because Cascade Crags has a fantastic facility and its very seldom busy. I might have to start asking around to see if anyone might be interested in climbing with me.

I have only gone here with groups. This place is great for groups. I first went in 7^th grade for a friend’s birthday and there were about 10 of us. I also went there with a youth group with about 15 of us.
The facilities are nice, but not the biggest in the Northwest. But adequately sized and enough variety. The staff was great. Even for those uncoordinated people. I think it is a perfect group activity event.

Great place, gone there with a group of kids and adults through summer camp and everybody’s always been friendly and helpful. The kids love it, and unlike some of the other rock climbing places we’ve gone they’re actually able to climb.

Don’t let the exterior fool you. From outside this looks damn small but once inside you will find a very well laid out climbing gym and lots of space. Out of the climbing gyms I’ve been to this is probably my favorite. They do have areas of improvement, like needing to change the climbs more often, but out of available climbing gyms it’s the best choice around. The people aren’t as friendly as Stone Gardens but not as snobby as Vertical World. What I really like about this place is it the climbs they have are good ones, they have a padded floor rather than gravel, and it’s usually not as busy as the other places.
Wednesday nights are ladies nights, women get in for a discounted price, and they offer yoga with the price of admission. They have a good selection of outdoor products in the lobby and a cute dog hangs out every once in a while.
