Rock Haven Climbing Gym — Attraction in Gresham

This climbing gym has become such a special place for our family. When we first walked in, we were immediately struck by how welcoming the staff were. They take the time to explain things, answer questions, and make sure everyone — from total beginners to seasoned climbers — feels comfortable. The walls are creative, challenging, and constantly refreshed, which keeps every visit exciting. What’s made the biggest difference for us, though, is the community. It’s not just a gym; it’s a place where people cheer each other on, swap tips, and celebrate progress big and small. My kiddo joined their competition team, and the transformation has been incredible to watch. The coaches are patient, motivating, and know how to bring out the best in each athlete. My child is not only excelling as a climber but also building confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging. It’s been amazing to see them light up every time practice rolls around and to watch their skills grow week after week. As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the supportive, safe, and encouraging environment this gym provides. Whether you’re just curious about climbing, looking for a fun way to stay active, or hoping to join a competitive team, this place truly has it all. It’s become more than just a gym for us — it’s a...

I climb at this gym strictly out of convenience as it's way closer to me than the circuit. Here's my thoughts: Pros- everybody is super friendly, the gym and locker rooms are really clean. The last time I went there were some fun, interesting balancy problems. Cons- not kids friendly at all. Under 7 can't even go in the big climbing area, even with an adult. They did put in a kids climbing area, but even at 4 and 2 my kids would be bored there in about 15 minutes. Also, huge waste of space inside the gym. For the amount of square feet they have, they could have put in a lot more climbable walls. The walls are also boring. Either vert or some degree of overhang, but no real corners (one very limited corner) for stemming or stairs. They use large features but to a limited degree. I wish there were way more slopers as I can never find great sloper routes and I've been a bunch. No slackline, but that seems to be the new trend.

Overall, it's just fine. I go there if I'm looking to get a workout in, but for a fun day off climbing I'll make the trek...

Not Going To Last The gym it’s self is fun to climb but, this is for anyone looking to work at the gym. I’ve known a couple people who have worked there now and I hear nothing but bad things about the management. They broke the heart of one of my friends by saying they weren’t passionate about climbing enough to work there. This was someone who would not shut up about the sport and regularly took out of state climbing trips, They are on there second OSHA violation after being open for only a couple months, they change your shift hours day of and get mad when they aren’t fallowed, they will hire you promising something and go back and change you job without telling you before they do so, They will flat out fire you with no warning or notice and lastly if you could not guess they have a high turn around rate. As a business owner I know this is bad practice to sustain a company or a community.

Every time I’ve been in there it’s been nothing but fake smiles and face community. I would not...
