Moving to the seacoast area necessitated switching gyms. Salt Pump is fantastic and I’m happy to drive the extra distance to get there. The route setting is top notch and there’s a good variety to climb. The recent addition of a full kilter board shows that leadership continually invests in the gym. My favorite part is that they are dog friendly — my dog loves coming to the gym with us. Thank you !

Great climbing gym. Friendly staff and climbing for all experiences. Clean facility and great price. Our 4 year old loves the kids free climbing walls and auto belays.

Went on a busy Saturday. There was 100+ people all over the gym, I was surprised to only see 3 or 4 staff members. Coco did a great job giving us our orientation. We stuck to the bouldering areas since the ropes section was so packed. The setting was good with nice variety. A lot of newer / young climbers that day made things a bit chaotic. Had to really keep our eyes out for kids running underneath us on the wall. Definitely going to hit the ropes next time I'm in Maine, looked world class. Great facility and great staff.

Fantastic place. The facility is really clean and they have a variety of routes that are changed enough to keep it interesting. The staff is great and the workout equipment is a great bonus. 10/10

After a long climbing hiatus I decided to get back into the sport. After seeing the EVO reviews it seemed as Salt Pump was the obvious choice in the greater Portland area. After arriving I was greeted by Sam, who was awesome, at the front desk. I signed the waiver and Sam gave me a tour of the facility. Including rules and suggestions I felt prepared to tackle some climbing.Even with the majority of the bouldering closed down the upstairs was sufficient and didn't feel crowed. The routes were fun and well set. After hitting a couple I hit the high walls with the Auto-belay setup. WICKED fun. Very nice to hit routes without needing a partner.Not only were the staff friendly, the climbers were also very nice. After pumped arms and good conversation I called it a day. Thanks Salt Pump, I really enjoyed my time today and will be coming around a lot more frequently!

One of the best climbing gyms in the country set up to challenge experienced climbers with interesting routes, and is extra welcoming to new climbers and families too!I truly appreciate the way they overlay rock walls and climbs so even on a busy day there are many options and autobelays to climb. A delicate balance they thread so well with kind welcoming staff that also offer indoor and outdoor classes for all levelsI am so thankful to have Saltpump in Maine!

Great place. The staff here is great the price is a little steep for a “once in a while” climber, but they have a ton of climbing lanes and the place is well run.

Very safe, clean, and enjoyable place to climb. There are loads of top rope, auto belay, and lead climbing routes, as well as loads of boulder problems. I was just passing through, otherwise I'd join as a member.

Amazing gym!! The bouldering was fantastic and the route grading system is cool and unique. I had a blast on a variety of challenging routes with really nice, fresh hand and foot holds. I'll be back soon!
