Hi. We’re tomo bouldering club.

We believe climbing at every level should be thoughtful, engaging, and fun.

Tomo is built on Friendship.

‘Tomo’ is short for Tomodachi, one of many words for friend or companion in the Japanese language.

Tomo was built by three friends, Chris, Joel, and David, in the name of friendship. Since 2024, we’ve been fostering creativity and companionship in the Portland climbing community.

“Phenomenal experience climbing at Tomo. Every climb was fun, flowy, engaging and clearly had a lot of thought put into it. The experience was made all the better by the beautiful space, huge windows, natural light and friendly staff. Hands down the best gym experience I’ve had, and I’ve been to a lot. 10/10 experience on every level, would highly recommend!”
