Bouldering Wall

Three floors of varied bouldering terrain spanning 100 to 160 degrees. The first floor features beginner-friendly slab and vertical walls perfect for technique work, while the second floor challenges intermediate and advanced climbers with steep overhangs from 110 to 160 degrees. This progression makes it easy to warm up downstairs before tackling power problems on the second floor.

Lead Climbing

Located on the third floor, the route wall provides proper lead climbing and rope work practice. It's a solid setup for building endurance and practicing clip sequences in a multi-story facility that prioritizes climbing variety.

Crack Climbing

The third floor houses dedicated crack climbing features—a rare find in Japanese indoor gyms. This is ideal for climbers looking to develop jamming technique and prepare for outdoor routes without leaving the city.

Dry Tooling Wall

BETA's third floor includes a dry tooling wall for ice tool training, making this one of the few gyms in the area where you can practice alpine skills year-round. It's a unique offering for climbers preparing for winter mountaineering or mixed climbing.

Mantle Wall

A dedicated mantle wall on the third floor lets you drill those frustrating topout moves in isolation. It's perfect for building the specific strength and technique needed for committing mantles without having to climb an entire problem first.

Slab Wall

First-floor slab sections emphasize footwork and balance, making them excellent for warming up or refining technique. The gentle angles are beginner-accessible but provide valuable practice for climbers at any level working on precision movement.

Vertical Wall

Vertical to 100-degree walls on the first floor offer classic face climbing that rewards technical movement over pure power. These sections are ideal for dialing in body positioning and building foundational climbing skills.

Overhang Wall

The second floor's steep overhangs range from 110 to 160 degrees, delivering serious pump for intermediate and advanced climbers. Expect powerful moves, dynamic sequences, and upper body-intensive climbing that builds strength and power endurance.
