Uplift Climbing is beginning construction on a new training-focused climbing gym in the North Seattle area (17229 15th Ave NE), with plans to open this year. It aims to serve dedicated outdoor athletes who want to push themselves to higher levels of performance and is concentrated on serving the needs of people for whom climbing has become more than just a recreation. But they also welcome people of all ability levels.
Uplift Climbing is building a 7,300 square foot bouldering-only facility, with 14’ tall walls that vary in angle from 5° to 60° overhanging. Other amenities include hang boards, a campus board, Moon and Tension boards, cardio equipment, weights, and other training-focused equipment. The diamond-patterned climbing walls are built by Vertical Solutions, a Salt Lake City-based climbing gym company. Alongside a facility designed for training, programming will revolve around community events, training-specific classes, and outdoor stewardship.
Uplift Climbing is also the first climbing gym located on the north side of Lake Washington. It’s located in the North City Business District of Shoreline, just up the road from Pinehurst.
Construction started in August. It is a remodel of a longstanding building that most recently served as a Maid Brigade location. Previously, the building served as a branch of the Shoreline Library in the 1990s, as well as a disco club in the late 1970’s.
