Metrorock Climbing Gym Boston

Wicked fun climbing

Megan from Boston

""Metrorock Climbing Gym" in Boston is where I go climbing with my friends. What I love about is its nice mix in the hall and it's ideal size!"

Metrorock is my local climbing gym. Just a few miles from my apartment, I stop here after work to boulder with my friends at least once a week. If you’re visiting Boston and looking for a place to climb that has a good mix of top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering without being crowded, I recommend checking out Metrorock.

What I like about Metrorock is it’s size. It isn’t so small that you get border after two hours, but it isn’t huge and crowded like so many of the other gyms around Boston. I guess because of its location, a little tucked out of the way, people don’t know it is there. Whatever the case, I like my climbing gyms a little less busy, so Metrorock works for me.

They’ve got a pretty serious bouldering setup, and even host competitions from time to time. I’m still fairly new to the sport, just topped my first V2 recently, but I enjoy watching the more experienced people contort their bodies into pretzels to top out the higher grades.

They’ve also got Narnia in the back, a land of high walls for top roping and lead climbing. Not perhaps as tall as some other gyms in the area, there is still enough going on for you to get a real workout in.

About me: I'm an adventurer. I love to get out and experience new things. On any given weekend I'm probably hiking in the mountains or exploring some new craft brewery in town. I'm that person in your friend group that is always suggesting a new place to go on or a new trip to take. Why Boston I'm a Boston native. I grew up here and have loved the beautiful brick buildings and winding streets of this city ever since I was a little kid. Now, living here again as an adult after 10 years away, I love the vibrant artistic and craft scene that has taken root. There are cons...
