About Us

TPG is the only dedicated bouldering (climbing without ropes above thick mats) within 50 miles of Bloomington-Normal. We have over 100 routes on highly varied terrain for climbers of all experience levels!

How We Got Started

Founders Chris and Jaimie Majerczyk had a dream of sharing their love of climbing with their home community for many years. Longtime climbing friends, Barry and Marge Weaver, joined with them in 2018 to bring the vision to life in March 2019!
