Built the walls for California Climbing Collective's SoMa gym

California Climbing Collective opened Oct. 11 at 1264 Folsom St. in SoMa, the city's first new independent climbing gym since Benchmark Climbing opened on Van Ness in 2021. It charges $79 a month, less than the chain gyms nearby, and does not grade its climbs.
