I never pass up a brochure stand in a hotel lobby, which is how we found this hidden gem of an activity two days before we arrived in Salem. We gift our children with experiences for their birthdays and this seemed like just the ticket for my soon to be 20 year old. Megan was an excellent teacher as she demonstrated all of the gear before having us practice the gear on the ground and then on the tree. Having us give her directions to go up and down was a great way to make us do the thinking. We got a workout as we learned to squat and pull up while attached to a rope to make our way to the top of the practice tree and then sit back as we made our descent. Now it was time for the real deal. After a short walk in our gear, we made our way to the tree that would have us 230 feet in the air to enjoy the gorgeous views around us. We were not rushed in any way and able to take breaks as needed. The view from the top was fantastic! I'm glad we discovered such a memorable adventure.

My two close friends and I climbed a very large tree named "Creek Tree" as part of my bachelorette weekend. We had a fantastic time! Our guide Megan (apologies if that is not the correct spelling) was absolutely delightful during our private climb -- very patient as we learned how to climb, and then competent and helpful once we were actually up in the tree. We were also grateful to have paid for photos of our experience. I'm so glad I chose such a unique, peaceful, and rewarding activity to celebrate my upcoming marriage.

This was an awesome experience! My partner and I had no prior climbing skills and Megan made us feel so comfortable and safe. It was absolutely gorgeous at the top and well worth the climb!

Awesome experience. Leo brings a great combination of competence and laid back relaxation. I never doubted the safety of their equipment or setup, even if being up that high was sometimes a little nerve-wracking! I'd totally do it again. The hike to the tree is about 45 minutes and moderate in intensity only because it's mostly uphill and you're carrying a backpack (for the overnight stay). I had doubts about whether I'd be able to do the climb to the top of the tree, but I made it! For reference, I'm about 40 lbs overweight, can't do a pull-up to save my life, and was doing about 20-30 squats a day to prepare for the trip. It was a physically tiring exercise but I found it doable and it was nice that there was no sense of being in a hurry. The views from the top were gorgeous - sunset, Perseids meteor shower, then sunrise. What a memorable experience! Highly recommend.

Part 3/3

Leo claims that my review was dishonest. Please see the attached email communication where he already acknowledged the worn, damaged equipment. Yet, in his response to my original review, he claims that I am lying and that there was no broken equipment. So which is it, Leo? I also recommend people check out the reviews on Google, where another commenter has also posted a review detailing their experience with the ripped, torn equipment.

Our guide, Timmy, took this and was nice enough to send to me afterward.

What a fun and unique experience! The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and relaxed. The experience felt safe even when dangling 180 feet in the air. It is important to know that it is a physically taxing experience. But what a neat thing to have done and seen.

I had doubts about whether I'd be able to do the climb to the top of the tree, but I made it!

Wednesday night is ladies night so it's half price admission. This was my first time to the Rock…read moreBoxx and I had such a great time. The waiver process and initial check-in and rental was super fast and friendly. I think it took about 3 minutes and then I was out climbing. I am a beginner -- as in never have I ever climbed an indoor rock wall before -- and there was plenty for me to do. I was able to be around the people I met up with while we all climbed at our own skill levels. I'm told by those that go weekly that they change out their wall climb courses each week, so it sounds like there's always a new challenge. Chalk bag rentals are $2, and show rentals are $4, but once you decide it's something you want to do more than once you can get a decent pair of shoes and a bad for under a Benny. Long story short, I'll be back.

The Rock Boxx is a decently large bouldering gym with varying terrain: slab, overhangs, aretes, and a top out boulder. The 2nd floor loft has their hangboards and a functional 2024 moonboard. I've only gone a handful of times, I think they're the only climbing gym in town. The setting was okay. I try not to be "that guy," but the grades were comparatively soft. The inside was super chalky and dusty and 80% of the time, the front desk staff abandoned their station to go climbing. For training, this gym serves its purpose. Nothing more, nothing less. My suggestion, make it more friendly and approachable to new climbers. Front desk is standoffish if not downright absent, interior is like a dusty, smelly dungeon

Having actually helped lay the foundation back in my construction days yep, I poured the slab in the parking lot and near the Starbucks next door it was surreal to come back and see the finished masterpiece towering above me. My wife and I signed up for a starter class, and let me tell you, the excitement is real. The scale of this place is jaw-dropping; every wall, every route, every corner feels massive and meticulously designed. The staff is top-notch, friendly, and clearly passionate, which makes getting started a breeze. It's the kind of place where you can feel the history and effort in every inch, and yet it's buzzing with energy and accessibility for beginners. Coming back as a participant instead of a laborer it's a full-circle kind of thrill. Blown away doesn't even begin to cover it. If you're even remotely interested in climbing, Portland Rock Gym is the place to be

Excellent gym | very aesthetic…read more This is the biggest climbing facility I've ever been to. It is one of those climbing chains, like Movement, so they have a lot to offer for climbers and fitness enthusiasts. Keep in mind that I'm writing this review with a background of climbing over 15 years and have visited many gyms throughout the country and overseas. The gym boasts over 20,000 sq ft with 17ft tall boulders and 40ft walls of rope routes. You can never be bored here. In fact, there's so much space that they don't know what else to do with it! They have lounging areas, a couple of bathroom areas, training board systems, and weight training. But let's talk bouldering first... Some of the routes I've jumped on felt intuitive. Good flow. There were a few that puzzled me, though. One route was an overhanging low grade route that I anticipated to be an easy warm up, but instead they placed a hold that forced me to do a less than ideal move for the grade. I was spooked. A friend agreed. Overall, they have lots of area with various range of problems for a beginner climber to an advanced veteran. No kids area, but I'd say the area closest to the front desk to the left is the most kid friendly spot. The second biggest feature here is the newly opened rope area. It's impressive and overwhelming. There are about 5 auto belay systems, so you can get a pretty decent work out if you came solo. I saw routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.11 when I did autobelay here. There are two crack climbs one can practice in the auto belay area as well. There is everything imaginable from 5.4 to 5.12/13 here, including overhanging routes. Also, I was impressed with their various holds! One set of black holds were used for a stemmy route, which I thought was neat. I believe they set every 8 weeks. Community? I'm not sure. I think when you are a gym like Movement, it's hard to cultivate a tight-knit climbing community, like Santa Rosa's Vertex or Tigard's Circuit, but I think there are little climbing groups that make up a community. People are friendly though. This place is well thought out. I'm impressed and found the staff to be helpful. A day pass is $27. For a place like this, it's worth it. You can easily spend 3-4 hours here.

Although it is at a Christian church, they welcome everyone for FREE! There is a HUGE multi-level play structure with climbing obstacles, crawling tubes, a cargo net bridge, tube slides, lookout observation windows, and more! The playground is cleverly decorated with douglas fir trees, a sun, and a 3-story tall mural! The large play structure is for ages 3-11. Another small structure and foam pads are for infants to 3 years. They also have foosball and air hockey tables. They even sell snacks! The bathroom is clean and there are step stools for the toilet and water fountains. Parents are not allowed on the play structure, but there are tables to sit and watch or visit with others. Shoes are not allowed and socks are required in most of the floor, so there's cubby holes to store them. It's all FREE and it looks like they have a donation box in case you want to help contribute to the maintenance and whatnot. I think it's all volunteers who attend the playground, so be nice and show your appreciation. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!
