I just completed my first 101 class at Portland rock gym and I had a wonderful time! Not only did I feel welcomed as a newcomer to pretty much all of this but i felt like I learned so much! Sylvie was such a great instructor. She was detailed in her explanations and encouraging to the whole class to try out the different techniques and types of climbs. I can’t wait to learn more and make new friends! Thank you Sylvie :)

I recently took the Learn to Lead class with Abby and Brandon, and it was such a great experience. They were incredibly patient and made sure I had all the tools and skills I needed to confidently start lead climbing. The next week, Rileigh did my lead test and was so welcoming and encouraging, plus he gave really helpful tips to improve both my lead belaying and climbing. I’d definitely recommend the Learn to Lead class at PRG to friends!

My brother and I took the Learn to Belay class from Greg- he was fantastic! Definitely need to give that guy a raise. He was patient and very knowledgeable. He gave us good practice time and taught us all the basics. I also love that this gym gives you a free week of entry and rentals if you take their Learn to Belay course to practice the skills you’ve learned. Smart! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Portland Rock Gym's intro to lead class was great. It was very fun and easy to learn during the two day session. I felt safe and confident after the first climbing exercises. The attention to safety and correct technique was what I needed to feel good on a new type of climbing. Big thanks to Erin. They were a pleasure to learn from and very fun to chat with. Can't wait to climbing there again soon.

So far PRG has been a fantastic gym! Lily and Rileigh helped me get set up with a membership, walked me through buying my first harness, and were overall so very cool and helpful. They did an awesome job making me feel comfortable and welcomed. Also, the routes that are set at this location are a ton of fun. Seems to be a bit harder grade-wise than other gyms I’ve been to which is good! Some of the boulder problems really push you out of the typical comfort zone for bouldering. I’m very excited to start climbing through the top rope climbs!
