Since opening in late 2009, Brooklyn Boulders, located in a refitted warehouse formerly occupied by the New York Daily News, has become more than just an 18,000 square-foot climbing facility, making it the largest in New York City. The gym has also established itself as a hub for the climbing community in the most populous city in the US.
BKB differs from the rock walls at Chelsea Piers and the Manhattan Plaza Health Club in that it’s entire facility is dedicated to climbing. Among the gym’s selling points is its convenience–BKB staff teach beginner belay classes four times a day, every day.
