A week ago we got to have family and close friends in the gym to test out the walls and get some early feedback.
The feedback was invaluable (the walls feel TALL, and the routes are FUN!), but watching everyone connect and have fun in this space, that has been “in progress” for so long, was ✨priceless✨
It truly was a pinch me moment for the whole team and had us buzzing since and pushing harder to cross our t’s and dot our i’s so we can have ALL of you in here climbing with us.
We’re so grateful for your support.
Venga!

So much sweat, so much skin sacrificed. 😅 The walls are 98% set, with the exception of a few routes that will be going up with some last minute sweet jugs we ordered.
Real life has felt as fast paced as this video. It’s mid-October! How did that happen? Big things are coming 💛
Thank you @chrisjaniszewski @g.marooned @remyhenderson @matias.gomez.lz for sweating it out and putting up holds with us until we ran out of daylight and finger skin.

What grade do you think we rated this one?
We’ll give you a hint! This climb is dynamic, on some beautiful dual tex @cheetaholds crimps and slopers… and may force you to use heel and toe hooks.
Tag a friend to see who guesses right! We’ll post the answer in the comments.
#aloharockgym #climbwithaloha
Red, set, GO!
We’re back with some setting in the cave area! Check out these pretty @cheetaholds
They felt like a perfect choice for this line. Can’t wait for you all to see how this area filled out.
Stay tuned to see how it climbs! 😎

Our parking lot is lookin fresh! You might have seen it from the highway, but here’s a better look at this past weekend’s work.
Who knew we’d get so stoked on a parking lot?! 😆
Construction update! 🚨
Yes- we are still under construction!
We’re so grateful to be setting routes even while the rest of the gym is being built out. It’s definitely been a bit of a juggling act 😅 - we’ve moved the same box of holds more times than we can count just to make space. But every shuffle brings us closer to the gym being open, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Left! Right! Hand Cross! Feet Crossing! Eyes… crossing? Tyler taking us on an adventure with our first boulder route.
By the end of the day, this wall had a whole new face, route after route transforming it into a full lineup. Many more puzzles to come!
✨First boulder route in the gym is up!✨ Check out the behind the scenes of the setting process with @tyler_theclimber
We wanted to put a showstopper on this beautiful, fresh wall so we went with the @kiltergrips Granite line. These are awesome shapes to climb on.
How does it look?! Let us know in the comments 🌺
Stay tuned for Part 2 to see how it climbs 🥳

Love people and climbing? We’re hiring for our Front Desk Staff. Visit the link in our bio to apply!
Share with a friend you think would be a great fit for Aloha Rock Gym! 🧗♀️
It’s really happening—routesetting has begun!
It almost doesn’t feel real. Once the @walltopia crew installed the mats it transformed this space from a commercial construction zone to a *climbing gym.*
The climbing walls are now 100% finished and our setting team is quickly filling out the sport corridor with fun and beautiful routes that we are so excited to see you guys climb.
Tag your belay buddy! 👯♀️🥳

Wow! Just like that, nearly 9,000 square feet of climbing walls are built! The crew from @Walltopia cranked these out faster than we could even get a video up 🤣
It took just under 25 days to raise these walls, but it represents four years of sweat, stoke, tears, and love. Our dream of bringing a world-class climbing gym to Maui has always been fueled by the vision of creating a special, tight-knit community space that is welcoming and inspiring. That vision has guided us to meticulously design and develop every angle of these walls, allowed us to overcome every obstacle over so many years, and problem solve construction challenges we never could have imagined. Now, we’re sprinting towards the finish line and can’t wait to have you come climb with us!
Tag a friend you think would be stoked to see how these turned out!
It’s been a whirlwind lately! From wall building to picking bathroom finishes, wrangling more piping issues than you’d believe, juggling contractors left and right, and now starting to inventory our thousands (!!!!) of holds… we’ve definitely been keeping busy. ’Tis the season, right?! 😅
Here are a few snippets of life lately at ARG ☀️🤙😊

Soon enough, guys… soon enough.

👀 Have you seen what Aloha Rock Gym is going to look like?
Picture this: 8,000+ square feet of custom-designed, world-class climbing walls right here on Maui. Our roped walls reach up to nearly 40 feet high, with both top rope and lead climbing. 🙌
We’ve got bouldering for every style- from slab to overhangs to a full-on cave. And yes, we squeezed in a fully equipped training area too, so you can get your full workout in one place.
Every inch of this gym was designed with intention- and we’re beyond stoked to share it with you.
If you’re as excited as we are, tag a friend you can’t wait to climb with and help us spread the word.
Mahalo nui for all your support. We seriously couldn’t do this without you. 🤙☺️🙌

L E T S G O
We might have hit the warp speed button. The warehouse is quickly filling up with thousands of pounds of steel framing and wood for the climbing walls, lots of foam padding, pallets of volumes and holds, hefty boxes of anchors and all the heavy machinery needed for putting it all in place!
Every milestone is one step closer to climbing together. We can’t wait! 🤙🏽

Walls? Check ✅
With any construction project there are snafus and unexpected hurdles you need to navigate. But our goal of opening has kept us laser-focused and excitedly running toward the finish line- we seriously can’t wait to be open.
That said, we’re also learning to enjoy the wins along the way and celebrate the milestones that felt SO far away just a year ago.
So here’s your reminder: celebrate your progress. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be ✨

🤯Our climbing walls are snuggly packed into 3 shipping containers and have crossed over 10,000 miles of oceans, seas, canals, and continents on their journey to Maui (that’s almost half the Earth’s circumference!). They’re currently somewhere between Oakland, CA and Maui, due to arrive around July 9th! 🎉
We also have 2 additional containers of flooring, climbing holds, and volumes set to arrive a few weeks later.
Our wall builder, Walltopia, is an industry leader and the largest climbing wall manufacturer globally. We’re so excited to bring high-quality climbing walls to Maui and can’t wait for you to see the design!!
Follow along to see more of our gym buildout! 🤙

What a great day partnering with @malama_maui_nui and @pauwelabeverage out at Ukumehame for some much needed trash removal! A huge thank you to everyone that came out. We were floored when we saw how much there is left to do, especially since MMN has been crushing it and already removed so much.
Unfortunately there was a lot of trash at the base of a historic heiau - fortunately we were able to remove much of it.
Thank you Pauwela Beverage for supplying us with some beautifully crafted drinks that were a great pick me up and cool down after getting our hands dirty!
Mālama Maui Nui will be there this Wednesday and Thursday the 19th and 20th to continue chipping away at the trash if you’d like to lend a hand!

Wednesday March 12th we’re partnering with Mālama Maui Nui and Pauwela Beverage Co. to help clean up the area in Ukumehame/Olowalu that’s been used as a dumping ground. Over 150 cars, lots of large appliances and other random trash has already been removed but there is still plenty that needs to go!
Many hands make light work! If you’d like to join us for some sunshine and awesome @pauwelabeverage refreshments you can click the link in our bio for the MMN Volunteer Waiver and Signup link.
Where: Mile marker 13.5 Ukumehame/Olowalu
When: Wednesday March 12th (8am, 10am & 12pm 2 hour shifts- plenty 10am and 12pm spots need filling)
It will be hot! Bring sun protection and sturdy shoes. When parking on the side of the highway please use caution walking towards the cleanup area!

Hey friends, exciting update: Many of you asked for ARG t-shirts, and we listened! We’re doing a limited run of our classic ARG shirt and hoping to have them available for pickup on island before Christmas. For those of you on the mainland, delivery will take a little longer.
We managed to get some big savings on this run of shirts and are passing those savings on entirely — just $20 bucks (pickup on island) to start the new year representing what is going to be an incredible community here on Maui.
Click the link in our bio to fill out our order form. Form and payment must be received by Friday December 13th! Mahalo 🤙
P.s., every order placed on this run will receive a 3x3” clear die-cut ARG sticker!

@aloharockgym x @kiltergrips 🤝✨ We are incredibly stoked to announce that we are partnering with Kilter to bring the world’s most award-winning climbing holds to Aloha Rock Gym!
Kilter’s industry-leading climbing holds are a crucial part of building the world-class climbing gym that Maui deserves.
Their relentless dedication to quality and innovation speaks for itself. Their holds are increasingly used in @ifsclimbing World Cups and last year claimed the industry’s @climbingbusinessjournal All-Time Favorite award for the 7th (!) year running! 🙌
And soon enough, you’ll know personally how awesome it feels to crank on these epic pieces of modern art ✨

It’s been 3 months since the catastrophic Maui wildfires of August 2023. Our hearts remain heavy feeling for all the lives lost, devastated, and irrevocably altered ❤️🩹
But our hearts are also filled with immense gratitude for all the people around the world who chose to rally together in an outpouring of compassion 🙏
When we issued a call to action and launched the Global Climbing Community Fund for Maui Fire Victims, we didn’t know what to expect 🤷♀️
Now, it’s clear the climbing community answered that call. We want to extend a massive shout out, MAHALO, and THANK YOU to everyone who helped us raise $15,000+ for the @hawaiicommunityfoundation MAUI STRONG Fund and spread global awareness about Maui’s disaster response needs. And it doesn’t end there — there are countless others that provided support outside of this fundraiser, including two of the largest outdoor and climbing equipment brands that we spoke with who were willing to create their own internal fundraisers and match all employee donations in significant amounts. HCF’s rapid disbursement of funds helped provide critical supplies and services to thousands who needed it during the most traumatic of times.

Again, thank YOU for being part of our mission to unite and empower our broader Maui community — we can’t wait to see you in the gym!
It you’re here on the ground with us in Maui, you already know that the vast majority of emergency relief for our residents affected by the fires remains community driven ✊
We are immensely grateful for everyone showing up and playing their part in so many unique ways, from sourcing supplies to providing emotional support to housing/shelter support, and everything in between.
While large-scale fundraising is a powerful vehicle for deploying resources strategically, it takes time.
In the interim, many displaced families and individuals are in need of direct and immediate financial assistance.
You can provide immediate relief that will impact individuals TODAY here:

CALL TO ACTION:
Are you looking for a way to support the victims of the Maui fires?
Today, we created this fundraiser as a way for all climbers and friends of climbing around the world to come together and express our love and support for this devastated island community that has, over the years, given the world so much ALOHA.
Please consider giving what you can to support those in severe hardship amidst the deadliest US wildfire and deadliest natural disaster in Hawaii’s recorded history.
