Inside Mosaic
See the space before you climb.
High walls, natural light, a patio, study space, and the Telegraph energy that makes Mosaic feel different from a typical gym.
Why Berkeley climbs here
Easy to start. Hard to leave.
Friendly people.
Come solo or with friends. Mosaic is built for conversation between climbs.
New climbs weekly.
Head setter Randy and the setting team keep the walls fresh with new problems every week.
One block from UC Berkeley.
Walk over between classes, after studying, or when you need a reset.
Coalition gym access.
Qualifying members get two free monthly visits to each of seven Northern California partner gyms.
The Mosaic Cup
Berkeley's team climbing challenge.
Build a team of 3–6 climbers and compete in a four-week Mosaic Cup season. Each week features 9 Cup Boulders across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
Climbers earn 1 point for each Cup Boulder sent at their ability level or above, up to 4 points per week. Team score is based on average points per registered climber, so larger teams do not get an automatic advantage.
Top teams win prizes, and the Team Send Award recognizes the team with the most total Cup Boulders sent during the season.
