Boston knows how to fill a room. 🧗

We teamed up with @escala_boston and @dominguezcorporation at @bostonboulderingproject to bring the local climbing community together — problems got solved, connections got made, and the DJ kept things moving well past sunset.

We don’t just climb at ESCALA, we give back to our community!
Last month we headed over to @naturecenteratpiaokwai and lent a helping hand. Swipe towards the end to see a doggo with a green thumb! 🐶🌱

2021 vs 2025

Melissa, José, Víctor y Cara: The very first Escala meetup crew reunited.

The very first Escala meetup began with an idea and four people who saw a humble flyer on the gym bulletin board.

Escala began as a purely selfish idea to meet and climb with people like me que me pudieran entender a como me salieran las palabras whether en inglés or in Spanish. It has become that and so much more. A community of alegría, laughter and warmth. A community of people that sees ourselves reflected in each other, celebrating what we love about our culture and examining what we want to change.

Four years later, countless connections, friendships, and memories have been made and at least one marriage we can take credit for. From one local chapter to six chapters in different regions across the U.S., I am truly humbled by the continued trust granted to us by our community to create a space to connect and climb.

Sharing an idea with the world can be scary and risky but if the last four years have taught me anything it’s that the first people to show up and step into the fear and risk with you will be the community you’ve been searching for.
