Escalade dans l'ancien coffre-fort d'une banque, avec un sauna.
Bouldering Project - U District, situé au 4502 University Wy NE, Seattle, WA 98105, est une salle d'escalade de bloc sur deux niveaux installée dans un bâtiment bancaire. Elle propose un large éventail de problèmes de bloc répartis sur deux étages, une aire d'entraînement compacte et un sauna niché dans l'ancien coffre-fort. Située près de l'UW et des transports en commun, elle attire une clientèle principalement étudiante; toutefois, les heures de pointe peuvent être bondées et certains grimpeurs regrettent de ne pas disposer de davantage de planches d'entraînement.

Wow, love how they’ve transformed this building into a climbing gym! Fun boulder problems, clean facilities, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Small workout area. But the crown jewel is probably the sauna in the original vault - what a cool idea! We had limited time during our visit but would love to return and do the sauna and cold plunge.

The staff is very unfriendly and unhelpful in finding the locker rooms, showers etc. It was my first time at this gym (I used the first time free code) and they gave me no instruction on how to fall safely, the color grading system, or a tour of where the climbing walls are in the gym. During ny session, I took a bad fall off a wall and injured my ankle. The staff member who came up to me showed no sympathy, took my information, and then told me to “have a good day”. They also charged me for advil and offered no other assistance. The culture of this gym does not feel like a community but a place where everyone is stand off ish and lacks a positive energy. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for a communal space to meet new people or to a beginner climber who is looking to get into climbing. Additionally you have to provide your own lock for the limited amount of lockers available. If you enjoy the Bouldering Project atmosphere go to their other branches in Seattle!

Really cool location. It can be crowded, I was here at 7pm on a weeknight which is usually peak time for gyms. Good density of setting, and they've fit a lot of climbing footage into a small building footprint. I would say there's a lack of overhang and a surplus of slab/vert but that's personal preference. Setting around the mid grades (v4-v7) seemed a bit soft to me but again that's subjective. Very strange for a new gym to not have boards or the popular hangboards - this plus the layout making it hard to stay out of fall zones when it's busy is what makes this a 4 star for me. I'm sure I'll return when in town because it's so convenient from the lightrail if you are downtown. It's 95% college-age kids and a lot of folks in rentals (nothing wrong with that, just don't expect perfect climbing etiquette). Overall, I prefer Poplar

I’m so excited for this to be near UW! Was a little bit hot inside but I love the old bank vault aesthetic and it is super large. They turned the bank vault into a sauna which is interesting. Edit: I have been going semi regularity and they have fixed their hvac system!

So glad for another climbing gym on the north side! Climbing is getting ever more popular and the gyms are pretty crowded during prime hours after work on weekdays. This is the fourth bouldering project in Seattle and very conveniently located near both bus and light rail. The gym is large, modern, and what you would expect from the new wave of gyms. There are two floors of climbing with the main floor having a small section of climbing and a workout area and the second floor holding much more climbing. A few things keep me from being able to give this place five stars. Namely the lack of training boards which I feel every serious climbing gym should have these days and the workout area feels very small and not well thought out. There was a pull up bar but it's been removed and there are only a few hang boards (and not even the popular ones) which are mounted quite high and require a stool for most people. There also doesn't seem to be much support for off the wall training with a lack of weights and belts for weighted hands, no rice buckets, and zero no hang devices. The plastic PVC pipes for warming up are also really short and don't offer much resistance the way the wood ones do at their other locations. The walls are also really close to each other and it can feel hazardous to climb or even stand between some of them when people are on them. Overall I think the gym is a fine addition and conveniently located for public transit but not a gym serious climbers looking to train will be able to frequent. Parking nearby is also very hard and I would not recommend driving.
