Flowstone Climbing Competitors

A unique climbing and fitness experience, Brooklyn Boulders (BKB) opened its doors in 2009, in the old Daily News Garage in Brooklyn, NY. With facilities now nestled in the hearts of New York, Boston and Chicago, BKB combines play, work and life, by creating and fostering a diverse community of climbers, creatives, artists, fitness enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs, with the aim of Becoming Superhuman Together. Whether interpreted literally (massive rocks, weirdly yet creatively crafted in Brooklyn-style), figuratively (enabling people to defy gravity, to climb without ropes...to be free), or a mixture of both, our name, Brooklyn Boulders, is all for the observer to interpret and define for themselves. BKB means many different things to many different people. But the backbone of Brooklyn? The heart and soul of Brooklyn Boulders? Our people. GET WEIRD: Be yourself. BKB is your creative playground. CO-CREATE: Trust your team. Results are stronger when we collaborate. BE RELENTLESS: Take risks. Fall hard. Get back up. MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL: Create something extraordinary. Be proud to share it. Never stop improving. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING: Approach challenges with confidence and grit. INSPIRE
