I am excited to share my dream of opening a bouldering gym in Rochester, MN—a project inspired by the growing demand from our local climbing community. For years, climbers in our area have been searching for a dedicated bouldering space to gather, train, and connect. When the opportunity arose to transform the old JETS gymnastics building, with its 22,000+ square feet, into a vibrant hub for climbing and fitness, I knew I had to take the leap.

This gym will offer more than just a place to climb. With a spacious bouldering area, fitness and recovery spaces, and room for community events, it will be a welcoming environment for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're an experienced climber, a parent looking for a new activity for your kids, or someone seeking a supportive community, this gym is for you.

To make this vision a reality, I need your help. The funds raised will go directly toward building the climbing walls, purchasing essential equipment, and renovating the space to create a safe and inspiring environment. As a thank you, every donor will be recognized at the gym when we open our doors. Your support—no matter the amount—will help bring this much-needed space to life and strengthen our community. Thank you for believing in this dream and for helping to make it possible.
