Hidden Peak Open Climb

Hidden Peak is primarily a bouldering gym. Bouldering is unroped climbing within a specified height limit and therefore requires no technical training or harness. It's a great way to get the "feel" of the sport, and to develop excellent movement skills. Experienced climbers love to train this way because it's social, develops excellent power, and emphasizes technique over distance. Don't worry; we have a great soft landing to jump down to!

We pride ourselves on our friendly, communal atmosphere. Since bouldering is inherently a social form of climbing, whether you are a first timer, or throw down on V10, Hidden Peak is the best place in Chicago Land to meet other climbers and share a great training session. It's nothing fancy - just good music, excellent boulder problems of all grades (changed frequently usually 100 to 150 problems up), and a great community.
