Another week, another perfect set. How do they do it you ask?! It must be the holds and the timeless wall angles ;) This week the slab and pillar portion of the Top Rope wall were reset with 21 new problems ranging in difficulty from V0-V7. Expect to find climbs that test your balance and foot work with enough body steez to leave you shaking your head in disbelief when the move that you've fallen on 100 times before feels easy when you finally stick it on your 101th attempt. Number of attempts may vary.

World Cup Weeklies are up on the South East Wall this week. Expect to find bangers with sidewise hopping, vertical flight expression and a sloper.

Looking to get more out of climbing? Basecamp and Family Basecamp are our new weekly community meetups designed to help you build confidence, meet climbing partners, and become part of the Bridges community.
…
Think of them like Adult Climbing Crew for beginners. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or just looking for a fun, welcoming group to climb with, our coaches are there to answer questions, offer tips, and help everyone have a great session.
• Basecamp will run Mondays from 6:30pm-8:30pm with Coach Benny and is targeted for independent climbers ages 14+
• Family Basecamp will run Saturdays from 9:00am-11:00am with Coach Gordon and is targeted for parents with children under 14.
…
We’ve shifted the focus from a traditional one-time intro class to an ongoing community experience, because climbing is more fun when you have people to share it with. Show up once and get an orientation, or show up for 6 weeks and hone your skills - stay as long as you’re comfortable!

The setters are messing around with the rotation. Have you already noticed? But don't worry they are still setting 20+ new boulders a week for you to ❤️💔 you get the picture It's a love affair. Anyway the setters are experimenting with setting World Cup boulders on Tuesday and Wednesday instead of the normal Mondays to see how it affects their work week. I guess will all just have to wait and see what they decide ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Another week, another boulder full of freshies on North West!
…
This week Patrick flew solo while Coach David flew to Salt Lake City to support our athletes at USA Climbing Youth Nationals.
…
A lot of our regulars say North West is their favorite wall. Why “they put technical stuff here,” “I can actually work on the pink tags,” maybe “you have to use your feet.” The truth is, the wall’s got a good balance of being wide, tall, and it’s just not that steep. In other words, it’s a blank canvas for the setters, and a wall angle that makes it easier for you to press through your feet.
…
What do you think? Best boulders ever? Or do you miss David’s cordo dynos? Also, quick reminder that we’re open until 5pm Saturday July 4th!

We’re looking for a thoughtful, process-orientated adult to facilitate the development of our youth athletes as the Lead Recreational and Intermediate Team Coach. This is a pivotal role in our youth program for someone who cares about being a positive force in youth climbing at a tight-knit community gym.

You’ll be coaching our recreational and intermediate team athletes at Bridges on weekdays and at various Bay Area gyms on weekends during competition season. You’ll also support our less experienced coaches with direction based on your prior coaching experience and track athlete progression to ensure our kids have the best possible experience as they grow as climbers.

Position Details:
• About 12 hrs/week to start
• Hourly, starts at $20/hour
• Additional event hours may be available (Parents Night Out, camps)
• Gym membership included

You might be a good fit if you: are a climber, love teaching and working with kids and have experience as a youth climbing athlete or coach. You do need good judgment, follow-through, comfort with standard rope and bouldering safety practices, and the ability to communicate clearly with less senior coaches and your direct supervisor.

Interested? Email [email protected] with your resume, a little about yourself, your relevant experience, and why this sounds like your kind of thing. Know someone perfect for this? Send it their way!

✔️ Designed specifically for growing feet
✔️ Comfortable enough for long climbing sessions
✔️ Easy on/off with a single Velcro strap
✔️ Durable rubber built to handle plenty of climbing (and kid energy)

Whether they’re tackling their first V0 or lapping every problem in the gym, the Mad Monkey 3 is an awesome first climbing shoe that won’t break the bank. Swing by and get your kiddo fitted for just $49! 🐒🧗

We’re looking for a handy, self-directed person to help keep our community bouldering gym running smoothly as a Facilities Lead. This is a small but important role for someone who notices what’s broken, knows how to fix little things, and cares about keeping an independent community space functional, safe, and loved.
…
Think: basic repairs, maintenance checklists, supply runs, organizing, patching, tightening, troubleshooting, coordinating bigger fixes, and helping the gym feel cared for. This is a practical, hands-on, DIY gym maintenance role.
…
Details:
• About 8 hrs/week to start
• Hourly, starts at $20/hour
• Includes one 3.5-hour front desk shift
• Additional project hours may be available
• Gym membership included
…
You might be a good fit if you’re a climber, builder, artist, bike mechanic, woodworker, theater tech, former setter, handy parent, or generally useful human who likes solving problems.
You don’t need to be a licensed contractor. You do need good judgment, follow-through, comfort with tools, and the ability to ask for help before something gets worse.

The setters forgot to post this week, so we’re going to take a moment to appreciate them!
…
One thing we love about Patrick is his willingness to drop everything to chat about your project, your coffee, your bike, or your upcoming summer adventure. His genuine care for our members and unmatched stoke is a rare find in the Bay - and we’re lucky to have him.
…
One thing we love about David is his ability to break it down, whether it’s climbing movement, or the emotional walls we all put up. David’s also our Head Coach, and our athletes have never been more psyched. We’re grateful he decided to put on a Bridges Rock Gym shirt!

Bryce + Kenneth helped this week also.
