Hangar 18 Orange 🍊 is now open! We appreciate all the support and patience throughout this transition. We’re extremely excited to bring what was The Factory Bouldering Gym into the Hangar 18 family. Currently we are open with limited capacity allowing members only. Our reservations link is in our Bio. Please feel free to contact us online, here on instagram or by phone (657-282-0074).

It breaks our heart to have to post this, but here we go.

As of this morning, The Factory Bouldering name is no more and has been sold to new ownership.

We could not financially weather the storm of two lockdowns back to back and had no choice but to sell the gym.

New ownership will formally announce more details soon, however our staff is expected to stay on board and all memberships will continue to be honored. We’ll be doing our best to make the transition as smooth as possible. For now, we'll still be answering questions at [email protected] but you can expect this to go dormant within the next week.

There is so much to be said and so much to be remembered. Last night the owners and management got together to cry, reminisce, and look back on the legacy we created for the past 8 years. The term “we couldn’t have done xyz without you” was tossed around multiple times until it dawned on us-- none of us could have done this on our own. The Factory was a collective dream from day one. A true team effort.

We put our bodies, hearts, minds, and souls into this dream. This gym was built with an undying passion for self-betterment. Our motto was “Building Better Climbers”. But over time we found out this motto was bigger than just climbing. Everyday we were building better versions of ourselves. This poured over into how we ran as a business, how we ran as a team, and how we ran as individuals. The question we constantly asked from 2012 until today was “how can we better”?

In return, we were rewarded with a diverse community of unique individuals who made us the successful business we were. How can we not pour our hearts into something when the community we serve is so amazing? We are so blessed to have you all in our lives. The endless amount of friendships made within these walls made this journey so worth it. We showed you all our vision and you graciously accepted it with love.

At the end of the day, we are so proud of the impact our little mom and pop shop left on rock climbing. What we were able to accomplish within those walls wouldn't hav @ The Factory Bouldering

Factory Fam,
⠀
Effective immediately our doors are CLOSED due to new guidance from the California governor regarding Orange County. At the moment, we have no idea when we will be open again but we hope sooner rather than later. Memberships are immediately on an indefinite freeze at no cost. All future reservations will be cancelled. Any questions regarding memberships can be forwarded to [email protected].
⠀
We are absolutely heartbroken to be in this position, yet again. Anyone who has been within the walls of The Factory knows that this community is magical and there is something special about this place that changes people for the better. We are not your typical fitness center. We are a community first and foremost. We hate having to take that away from the people we care about dearly, but at the same time we have their best interests in mind. We want to make sure we can see everyone healthy and happy on the other side of this mess.
⠀
Please continue to do your part to get through this, continue social distancing and wearing your masks. The quicker the numbers go down, the quicker we can open our doors back up to our Factory Fam.
⠀
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones! Watch this space for updates.
⠀
With love always, The Factory 💙

World Cup Weekly ( #110)
⠀
Difficulty: Medium
Style: Balancey/Risky
⠀
You may ask yourself... What does “Risky” mean?
⠀
The term risk is used in routesetting as a way to describe movement that requires near-perfect ex*****on to stay on the wall.
⠀
We also call the movement a “low probability” move... Meaning it’s difficult to do it first try (i.e. Flash) for the intended skill level.
⠀
🌈 The more you know.
⠀
Enjoy.
⠀
Sincerely,
The Factory 😉
