Summer Hours
We are open from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday and 8am-6pm Saturday-Sunday.
Mazama has a new climbing crag!
- The Matrix is now ready for climbers! With 60 new bolted and trad routes from 5.7-5.11 it will be a great new addition and a perfect way to avoid the crowds at Fun Rock!
- In addition to the Matrix, we also have two new climbing areas developed by Bryan Burdo. One is near the West Chewuch at Falls Creek and the other is just a 5 minute walk above the hairpin at WA Pass. Most of the climbs are single pitch bolted routes with a few traditional options. The WA Pass crags are the perfect way to beat the heat this summer with cool temps and shade.
- We have new color printed miniguides available at the shop: The Matrix is $8 and the Mazama Granite Guide is $9.
