Creative climbing, premium fitness facilities, youth programs, and a friendly workspace in Long Island City. A New York hub for adventure and community. Diversity and inclusion have been core to the mission of BKB since the day we first opened our doors back on September 9, 2009. On that day, we set out to create a place for climbers when there weren't many options in New York, and from there was organically born a passionate and diverse community of people from all walks of life.
