What's the Difference Between Bouldering / Top Rope / Lead Climbing?
Bouldering is climbing up to 15ft (in gym) off the ground without the use of ropes or climbing gear. Pads are provided throughout the bouldering areas and participation in a Safety Orientation is required prior to climbing. This type of climbing is available to climbers of any skill level and does not require a partner.
Top Roping is climbing up to 50ft (in gym) on a rope that is already attached to the top of the wall while being belayed by a certified partner below. This type of climbing is available to climbers of any skill level and requires a partner(s). Belay certification is required prior to climbing. Belay Classes are offered daily, visit a location’s “classes” page for more information or to sign up.
Lead Climbing refers to climbing on our full height walls in areas that do not already have a rope attached at the top. Unlike Top Roping, Lead climbers must bring the rope with them as they progress up the wall. Leading is an advanced form of climbing and not recommended until you have a strong Top Rope climbing foundation. Lead Certification is required prior to leading in our gyms. Classes are offered several times a month at our rope gyms, please review the requirements prior to signing up for this class on a location’s “classes” page.
- Please note:
- Momentum Lehi, SODO, and Silver Street are Bouldering Only gyms.
Momentum Millcreek, Sandy, and Katy offer both Rope Climbing and Bouldering. - We do not allow anyone other than Momentum employees to provide belay instruction inside our gyms.

A ton of courses (even beginner youth to advanced), great overall facility and staff, and the two (kids and adults) boulder were an unexpected PLUS! Oh! Plus extended hours as we do not live close. We will all be returning!

Great gym! My kids did various courses and also Summer camp at one point and really enjoyed it!My son attends Youth Club 2 climbing twice a week in the evenings for the past 2 years and still loves it because of the relaxed atmosphere and amazing coaches. Thank you! ?

I recommend their employees and safety video include a recommendation to remove all rings from your hands, as a beginner i learned the hard way, hands get warm and abit pumped, rings wanna rip your finger skin off.And the first wall climb starting from the left side on the 2nd floor, being assecible to kids especially, on that climb a kid can easily swing on the rope to far left to the open space and fall from the 2nd floor. Otherwise being a beginner, all else was great.

Daughter is enjoying her classHowever they have 0 make ups availableI’ve never had to deal with that in any other place that’s this ridiculous with their policy. You pay high prices and you’d expect some flexibility on their part.For that reason I would never recommend their programs especially in the summer when people travel.Disappointing as now I will have to look for a different place.

Loved our visit here! Will absolutely be coming back the staff were great, and the climbs were easy to understand with the difficulty ratings. They had something for everything from beginner to advanced. Two thumbs way up and thanks for the great time!

Excellent, we'll maintained facilities.A great variety of climbing routes for newbie on up to Uber experienced.My son and I and his buddy spent all day there and were never bored.Look for deals on Groupon to save a little cash.

I love this place! When we visit friends and Katy, we always stay close to this so that we can spend a morning there. It is so much fun, and I'm so sad that we don't have one close to where we live.

Came here for a birthday celebration and absolutely enjoyed it! The gym is huge with plenty of activities for everyone. Highly recommend checking Groupon before your visit. The deal comes with equipment, shoe rental, and day pass. We were honestly only expecting to stay for an hr or 2. Somehow ending up staying for 4 hours because it was so much fun!

Momentum had a great mix of routes, plenty of easier routes for my 11 y/o and lots of more challenging ones for all skill levels. The staff was great as well. Highly recommend.

I boulder here whenever I come to visit my family in Houston. Its overall a really positive climbing experience -- great for both beginners and experienced climbers. The bouldering setting is great, and its nice to switch things up with their auto-belay. The staff and the management are really nice and welcoming.

Nice place for children's birthday party ? celebrated my granchild's 10th birthday with her friends & our family members. Everyone enjoyed to their heart's delight. All in all a nice place to spend time for children around aged10.

Staff was so friendly and very helpful. We have never been rock climbing like this before and it was the best experience we could’ve had as beginners. Will definitely be coming back.

Great facility. Easy parking, fair pricing, equipment rentals were all in good shape and nice facility.Friday night wasn't too crowded even with one birthday party. Have a nice selection of various challenging routes for bouldering and auto belay. I didn't do any of the lead climbing or belay walls but as a beginner there was enough to keep me and my party occupied for hours. Muscles gave out long before I could possibly do all the routes.Special shout out to Fabian who checked my party in and checked on us later in the day. Awesome guy!

Enjoyable experience; I’ve been a member here for a few years and not only is the staff incredible but the environment overall. People around are very welcoming and friendly, even on a busy day. I’ve recommended a few friends since and they all have loved it. On a side note; it’s wonderful to see that a place like this could give us a lot of peace from whatever line of work we’re away from. For a brand new climber, from experience I was scared myself but as stated the environment has helped more than just create an enjoyable experience. Very much recommended!

Victoria and the team were great. Victoria provided us with walk through the gym and overview of the membership features. For the 6 of us we found great value and an awesome facility that allows for everyone from my 3 year old to my 11 year old an activity appropriate to their skill level. I would highly recommend Momentum.

My son loves going to Momentum. His coaches are kind and encouraging. They inspire him to work hard and not to give up. I have seen so much growth in him over the past year. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing experience! This place is so much fun. Whether you’re an expert, intermediate, casual or beginning climber, Momentum has multiple routes for varying abilities. There’s also bouldering, a gym and yoga. The staff was welcoming and very excited to get myself, my friend and 3 kids geared up quickly and climbing right away. The staff really made the difference with their exceptional service. You can tell they love their job and the place is well managed. Momentum is also a huge facility, but still has that supportive climbing community feel. Loved it here! Highly recommend for a leisure stop or joining as a member.

We took a lead climbing class here and it was awesome. Riley and Sam were so nice and attentive, it was definitely worth it. The class size was small, so they were able to point out what you needed to work on.l individually. My partner and I had a larger weight difference than anybody else in the class, so they let us practice falls with just a Gri Gri and then an Ohm that they let us borrow. That was really nice.The two 2 hour classes were a great pace and allowed us to practice falls & belaying, and develop technique. I would definitely recommend this class considering a lead class in our home state, Arizona, is $100 for 1 hour. 75$ for 4 hours? So worth it.You can do the lead belay test a day after the class. If you can, I would because the class wasn’t that tiresome and the setting is top tier.Thanks Sam and Riley!

This gym is amazing. Tons of climbs with varying levels of difficulty, decent gym area, nice auto belay and bouldering areas. The staff are very friendly and helpful, as well. If Katy wasn’t so far away, I’d go all the time!

I signed up for the two-week trial membership because Momentum was right across the street from my hotel. The trial is perfect for anyone new to climbing.I only boulder, so I can’t speak to the rope climbing here. The bouldering area is small in comparison to the rope section, but still big enough to include a variety of routes/walls. It never felt overly crowded. The routes are thoughtfully set. There are fewer unusual/surprising problems than the Heights location, but there were a few fun jump starts etc. even at low grades.Service was always very friendly and quick. The walls and holds aren’t spotless, but the place overall is clean and inviting.Overall, I highly recommend checking it out, especially since a membership also gets you into their huge bouldering-only location in the Heights.

I've climbed at a LOT of gyms. This is state of the art. 50ft walls, very varied, good setting. And soft enough for me to flash 12s 🙂

Went here with a friend for my first experience ever rock climbing and although it was busy (7pm on Monday) I still was easily able to find climbs that were doable for me and honestly did so much more than I thought I'd be able to. As a female over 200lbs, I was very surprised that I was able to make it to the top of climbs and ended up doing 4 total (3 balay, 1 boulder). The staff was kind and helpful and overall I had an awesome time. Strongly considering doing the two week trial.

I want to give a shoutout to Ellen for being SO incredibly polite, quick, and helpful! She answered all my questions on the spot, and belay certified me after some assistance, no questions asked. (The other employees should take the time to learn from her). This gym was clean, spacious, and had LOTS of ropes to climb on! Will be back!

Unbeatable Houston area indoor rock climbing. There is another gym that comes close, but ultimately MoKaty has the best of everything. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and ensuring safety. They also teach intro courses every day with no extra charge (if memory serves). The walls are quite tall, bouldering area is extensive, and the workout gym is a better quality than you'll find at most fitness gyms! My only wish is that they had some sort of cafe, that would make it a climber's heaven, but there are good vending machines. Still, a paradise of hard sends and happy climbers.

I've been enjoying this gym for over 3 years! Plenty of top rope, bouldering, and lead climbs. They even have a nice auto belay area and twin speed walls!They have kept the quality of everything over the past few years, even during the pandemic. The staff has been consistently good as well.If you've ever wanted to give climbing a try, this is a great place to do it!

I brought a group here for a fun event and we head a great time! The lady I spoke to who works the front desk was very kind, informative, and helpful! Very nice facility with bouldering, top rope, sport lead, auto belay, children’s area, and training area. I highly recommend going to this gym if you are looking for a place to climb. I wish I lived closer and could go more often!

I took my three nephews climbing for the first time over the weekend. What a great experience. The staff took the time to explain all safety/climbing procedures, helped with equipment selection and adjustments and the kids had a blast! They begged to go again the next day. The 6, 7 and 12 year old found challenging climbs that were perfect for beginners. Can't wait to go back!

Everyone is super chill, and both very knowledgeable and passionate about climbing. This is the best gym to come and learn to climb,or to continue to progress at climbing. Fabian did a great job teaching me how to belay and tie the figure 8 knot. I highly recommend this place, and I'll be keeping my membership here for sure.

Go to Momentum Katy! Nicole Lamb went out of her way to make sure our trip to Momentum Katy was awesome. She gave us helpful advice and checked in on our group regularly during our day. With her guidance, our teenager passed her lead belay test!! We had an incredible day! Thank you, Nicole!

This was my kids first time rock climbing, and I wasn't sure if they were going to enjoy it. Using a Groupon was an excellent way to introduce them to this sport (day pass plus shoes and harnesses). The kids loved it! My oldest, who is 13, who didn't want to even tried (she doesn't like many things), loved it. My two little ones (7 years old) loved it too.They had a kid's bouldering room which is in the back, where the kids could start off, without going too high, build some confidence and get a hang of how to use the grips. After they did that for about 40 minutes, they wanted to tackle the climbing wall.On the climbing wall, you need to use the harness. The staff was nice enough to put it on my kids. Since I wasn't certified to belay my kids, they had a self-belay section, where they could climb up to 20 feet and the self-belay system will guide them down automatically. Letting go off the wall and trusting the system, took them a little time to get use to.We are definitely going back. Next time, they want to try the 40 feet all.

This is the place to go for an amazing full body workout and test your rock climbing ability. Whether your Tom Cruise in MI2 or just a regular joe coming in for the first time, this place has many different areas for you to test your skills and level up to the next one. They have classes to teach you how to belay with a partner and it makes for a great first date! They offer memberships that makes the pricing even more affordable. Highly recommended.

This place has been awesome for my high-energy son! Both staff and gym members are friendly and helpful. We love how often they’re are new sends to tackle and that the gym never feels crowded.

Great gym supported by friendly and knowledgeable staff that are always eager to say hi or assist if needed when you’re working on a project and need an extra set of eyes. Routes are updated so frequently you need to go often to master them all before they’re gone and you’re working on a new set. Love this gym and in my opinion it is one of the best in the US

Absolutely love Momentum climbing gym. It is hands down the best gym I’ve ever joined. I was unsure about joining at first because I felt like I didn’t have anyone to climb with but with in a week the staff had been so kind to me and offered times I could come climb with them/ people they knew. I’ve been a member for over a year and I still meet new people every week. I just started doing the fitness class with Maggie on Tuesday nights and I love it! Highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Katy/Houston area

Phenomenal climbing gym! We go mostly for top roping and starting lead now (Jack is an incredible teacher!! Super patient and very knowledgeable w/ the lead classes), with some warm up bouldering. If we're in the mood for bouldering only highly recommend the silver street location. Even though Katy is 30 minutes away we find ourselves at this location more and more though despite silver street being a couple blocks from us lol

I frequent this gym about 3 or 4 times a week. You will find the staff to be extremely friendly always greeting you as you enter and leave. If you are new to the sport, they will run you through the proper belay training to ensure you understand the safety protocols and motions. Reese (GM) is always ensuring that the climbers are safe and having a great time. Probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Highly recommend this location!!

Nice facility. Tons of bouldering and lead climbing space. Friendly staff. Got a membership on my first visit.Only improvement needed is fixing their ratings. They are currently incredibly soft.Updated: ratings have gotten a lot more reasonable since first opening.

We have been climbing at Momentum for about 2 years. We gave it 5 stars after our very first visit, and we would give it more than that now if we could! The gym is clean, the routes are always new, but the best part of Momentum Katy is and always has been the staff. They are truly amazing, whether you have kids in the youth program, you need help in the pro shop, or you just need a little advice about climbing. We have made some great relationships with everyone here, and that is what really makes this place stand out.
