Services
The creation of The Boulder Yard has been a long journey to produce this community based facility. It all started when Steve wanted a supportive group around rock climbing. At the beginning, his 200sf garage had a lot equipment which he acquired for the future of his dreamed about rock climbing gym.
If you are a community member looking to compete in our Boulder Battle 2021, it is a free event! You will need to register ahead of time to secure your spot as there is a maximum capacity for the event. If you are looking to register for the competition as a USA Climbing Youth or Collegiate member, please sign up and register for the event through your USA Climbing/Sport80 account.
Join us for a day of outdoor bouldering at a local spot in Frederick! We will provide crash pads and instructors to guide us throughout the day. Talk to us at the front desk for more details or questions! Sign up via email, phone or in person today! Climbing shoes are needed for this trip as we will not be bringing rental shoes on these outdoor trips.
We are excited to offer a new and updated opportunity for you to get the goods and apparel to represent your favorite climbing gym! We will have stock available in person for sizing, but all orders will go through our new online shop and be shipped directly to you! This online shop gives members more flexibility in product and color selection so everyone can find what they're looking for.
We're excited to bring a whole new element to The Boulder Yard. We're introducing our new Rope Wall this upcoming week and want everyone to be informed about how to access and utilize this new feature in the gym. UPDATE 11/14/2021: We used our Rope Wall for our USA Climbing Regional Qualifying Event on 11/13.

The Boulder Yard was great. I took my six-year-old daughter there, and Joe was great getting set up to climb. We will go back then it's not so busy. This is a place kids can go, and parents need to watch their kids. This is a gym, not a bounce or jump house. Thanks, Boulder Yard.

This is a great place to climb. Very nice climbing walls, a little deceiving from the outside because you can't tell the height of the back walls by looking at the front entrance.I really like this place and plan to return often.The owner is super friendly as well as his staff.This place offers quite a lot for being a little smaller than the other chain gyms. Recommend!!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
I started climbing 2 months ago. Since then I've gained 10 lbs of solid muscle. Every time I climb I learn somthing new. The staff is super professional and very easy to talk to.

5/5 went there for the first time today and had a blast! Ended up staying for almost 3 hours on a day pass and met some amazing people who were super helpful with tips and tricks for the harder climbs. Will definitely be going back.

This place is the best! I am relatively new to climbing and started at a later age than most (let's just say 50+). Climbing is a great workout and a lot of fun and I encourage you to try it. The people that climb here, in addition to the owner and staff, are very welcoming and friendly. It is a safe and clean environment where I feel comfortable, even since covid-19 rocked our world. What sets the boulder yard apart from the several other climbing gyms I have visited is the number and variety of routes and the community atmosphere. I highly recommend the boulder yard.

Freaking love this place. Atmosphere is very laid back. Very challenging routes. Awesome work out. People are very welcoming. No rude people. The only way they can improve this place is by having a bbq pit going. Hahahaha. Will definitely recommend the place to others and we will be coming back for sure, after I work out and get better so I can really enjoy the place to the fullest.
