Who We Are:

Help Us Build North Country Rock Gym

Starting anything worthwhile takes resources. North Country Rock Gym doesn’t have a home yet—but it already has expenses. LLC filings, websites, market research, and the groundwork for a safe, sustainable climbing gym all cost money. We are all in.

Most climbing gyms outside major cities are “mom and pop” operations, fueled by the hard work and personal investment of their founders. That’s us. This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme; it’s a labor of love. We’re carefully planning a right-sized facility so that we can pay the rent, keep the lights on, and create a gym where our community can climb for years to come.

Building climbing walls alone costs around $45 per square foot—a 10,000 sq. ft. facility means roughly $450,000 in startup costs. We’re working with local banks, veteran support groups, the Development Administration, and the Small Business Administration to tackle this mountain one step at a time.

Some of you have asked how you can help. The two biggest ways are:

1. Early Memberships – Once we have a lease and plans in hand (within 12 months of opening), buying a membership will directly keep our gym alive.

2. Sponsorships & Donations – For those who want to support before then, we’ve created a sponsorship tier system. Every bit helps, and we are deeply grateful.

Your support now helps ensure that North Country Rock Gym becomes a reality—a community space to climb, connect, and grow.

Thank you for your support!
