A great place for both climbing, bouldering, and training. While the top-rope routes tend on the easier side, there is a spacious bouldering area with one center boulder and routes on the outside. Many leading opportunities as well, as it is catered to lead climbing. The gym also has a speed climbing area, cafeteria, shop, and is new/modern.

Portland has some great single pitch sport climbs, with many in the beginner/intermediate range, but also offering many 7+ and higher grades. There are about 5 crags, the one I tied was called "The Cuttings". All will offer spectacular views of the coast, lighthouses, and ocean. There are also opportunities for deep water solo in the sea caves.
