Tufas incorporates everything that we love about the sport and lifestyle of climbing. With over 5,500 sq/ft of climbing terrain, we are thrilled to provide Philadelphia with the best boulders around.

Our routesetters strategically design climbs for all skill levels to help you grow stronger and more passionate about climbing.

With a focus on bringing people together we aim to make climbing accessible for everyone by using a sliding scale for day passes and membership. Check out our pricing page for more information on our sliding scale, as well as memberships and programs.
