Friends climbing and hanging out at Mosaic Boulders

Berkeley's independent bouldering gym on Telegraph

Berkeley's climbing community.

Climb. Study. Hang out. A welcoming third place for beginners, students, faculty, staff, locals, and experienced climbers.

Your third place

More than a gym.

Home is home. Campus is campus. Mosaic is where your day continues.

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.

Easy to start. Hard to leave.

01

02

Head setter Randy and the setting team keep the walls fresh with new problems every week.

03

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.

Learn About the Mosaic Cup

Community first

Come for the climbing. Stay for the people.

Students, graduate students, faculty, staff, locals, first-timers, and regulars share the same walls, the same patio, and the same weekly rhythm.
