Touchstone Climbing: G.W.P.C.

The Great Western Power Company was at one time, you guessed it, a power company. While the building has now been transformed into a state-of-the-art indoor climbing gym, one remant of the old power company remains: the smokestack. Rising 150 feet above downtown Oakland, the walls wrap around the stack to create a unique indoor climbing experience. There is a high percentage of easy and moderate terrain, and tons of variety to keep you challenged and enthused. If you prefer not to rope up, we also have an awesome bouldering area with lots of problems to challenge you at any skill level.

We offer a large fitness area that has a full complement of free weights, weight machines, and cardio equipment - including ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, and stair steppers. We also have a fitness studio to offer yoga and other fitness classes to compliment your workout.
