About this gym
The Minnesota Climbing Co-op is a volunteer-run bouldering gym in the Thorp Building in NE Minneapolis. It is the only bouldering co-op in the Twin Cities metro, owned and operated by its climbing-member community, with all proceeds reinvested into the space. Co-op members can purchase an Access Pass for unlimited 24/7 climbing, and as of August 2024 the Co-op spans two spaces: unit 178 (over 3,500 sq ft of bouldering, 80+ problems, training equipment, and a free shoe library) and unit 160 (a Kilter Board space with additional training equipment). First-time visitors are welcome during public Open Hours to try the space before committing.
