Climb Tulsa

Located just off the Broken Arrow Expressway at South Yale Avenue, the hardto-miss Climb Tulsa facility is among the largest climbing gyms in the nation.

It offers 17,000 square feet in which to train or climb for fun and is accommodating to all ages, founder Jason Burks says. For younger climbers, the gym has a separate, less difficult climbing area and hosts various kids’ camps that teach climbing skills.

An avid climber himself, Burks had seen massive climbing gyms in various cities across the country. He decided Tulsa needed something similar. “You’re not going to find a city the size of Tulsa with a gym this cool,” he says.
