About Boulders Climbing Center

Boulders Climbing Center in Harker Heights is an indoor rock climbing gym where visitors climb using different techniques and equipment. The facility offers bouldering, which involves climbing without ropes up to 12 feet high across 45 to 55 designated routes. Auto-belays are automatic ropes requiring only one climber, allowing solo visitors or groups to ascend 40-foot walls beneath 9 stations with multiple routes each. Top-rope climbing requires two people and instruction, available through the free Top-Rope 101 class offered on weekends or through daily test-outs. Lead climbing, a more advanced discipline, requires two climbers and the Lead 101 class; the gym maintains 6 to 10 lead routes. Climbing shoes and harnesses can be rented, and chalk bags are available. All new climbers receive an orientation covering gym rules, route-following, auto-belay use, and safety. The center welcomes climbers ages 5 and older of all skill levels and hosts group parties and events.
