SHORELINE RESIDENTS
We love being in Shoreline; we think it’s a pretty great city to be a climber. With great access to outdoor climbing, Shoreline residents should have great access to indoor climbing too.
WHY CLIMB AT UPLIFT?
WE’RE EASY TO GET TO
Located in the North City neighborhood, we’re just a mile away from the Shoreline North Light Rail Station. And with King Country Metro Route #348 stopping right outside our front door, we’re literally one bus away!
Plus, we’ve got bike racks right by the front door, and ample parking. Stop fighting for parking only to find a paid spot 5 blocks away - at Uplift, you’re never more than 100 yards from our front door. It’s never been easier to get to the climbing gym!
BEST IN CLASS BOULDERING
At Uplift, we serve climbers. That means you’ll find some of the best routesetting in town with a gym that fully turns over every two and a half weeks. We set 100 boulders a month, and have a Tension Board 2 + 2024 Moon Board. “There’s not enough to climb at Uplift” — said no one ever.
Oh and there’s benches and seating areas, so you can bring your water bottle with you and not have to constantly worry about getting fallen on from all directions.
BEST IN CLASS COACHING + PROGRAMS
Looking for some extra help? We’ve got coaching for every skill level. Whether it’s your first time climbing, you’re looking for an advance training squad, or you want private coaching, Uplift can help you out.
There’s also a full sized fitness area for strength and conditioning, and two showers.
YOGA MORNINGS AND EVENINGS
Did you hear about neighborhood yoga? Classes are always included in your membership. If you’ve only got time for a yoga class and don’t want to climb, we have a drop-in pass for that too.
DO IT ALL IN ONE TRIP
Safeway’s right across the street. Our favorite teriyaki in the city Ichi Bento shares the parking lot. Beer + Chicken, Wine + Live Music, the local dive, even Sauna + Massage are all less than a 5 minute walk away. Think it’s a hike to go up north? Think again.
A COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER
We built this gym for people to find climbing as more than just recreation, but also as a sport. We believe that climbing has the ability to push us beyond our limits and reveal to ourselves what we’re truly capable of.
But we also believe that Uplift is not just about climbing — it’s about how climbing brings us together, celebrating each others’ successes, and supporting each other through our failures. Climbing moves our bodies and our emotions, bringing us to highs and lows. It teaches us when to dig deep and when to let go, and helps us learn that growing is best done with others, rather than alone. It stays that consistent friend as we live our lives. Climbing doesn’t just help us find love for the outdoors, but also our love for one another.
Community competitions, summer BBQ potlucks, karaoke contests, live music, these are all just ways we want to live life together. Come join us.
THANK YOU FOR CLIMBING
We're thankful to all of you for climbing. Your passion for this sport inspires us, brings us together, and uplifts us all as a community.
We're thankful for being a small business. In a world where we're told that "bigger is better", we emphatically disagree. We love being a size that lets us focus on what our local community needs, lets us focus on our staff, and lets us serve climbers through a love and passion for this crazy sport. Small gyms remind us that our favorite climbing memories don't come from "that gym with unlimited access to all the toys". Our favorite memories come from repeated small moments with our closest friends, in a space built for us, on the mat and on the wall.
We're thankful to be here, always serving climbers.
