Boulder rocks in Houston gym

​​​​HOUSTON – A Utah-based climbing gym is expanding in Houston with a second facility in the works.

Momentum Indoor Climbing plans to build its largest gym ever in a retrofitted warehouse on Washington Ave. in the Silver Street Studios area. 

The company said the 40,000-sf facility will be one of the biggest bouldering gyms in the world.

Momentum Silver Street, the name of the gym, is the second Momentum facility slated for the Houston area.​​​

The new gym will have 17,000 sf of bouldering along with a training area and cardio room. 

At least one climbing sector will be nearly 200 feet tall.​

The gym—located at the intersection of Kingsland Blvd. and Katy Mills Pkwy. near the Katy Mills Mall—is expected to open in summer 2017.
