A floor to ceiling bay of windows gives climbers a view of the water.

Our bouldering are was built to accommodate everyone -- from beginner to experts.

The angles of our walls mimic the architecture of outdoor crags.

There's plenty of space for socializing, too.

Our deck's a nice place to catch some fresh air and share a laugh with friends in between climbs.

We work hard to keep the climbing imaginative and fun.

Salt Pump also has three full-length integral cracks.

The lead wall at Salt Pump is the tallest indoor climbing wall in the state of Maine.

The gym has many quiet corners to escape to during busy hours, too.

Our routes are regularly reset to keep the climbing fresh.
