Massachusetts Gym Opening With Plans to Donate All Profits to Increasing Access

Specs: Berkshire Boulders, owned by Nick Friedman and Dan Yagmin, is holding its grand opening on November 6th in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Friedman grew up in Sheffield, Massachusetts, and learned how to climb outdoors in Great Barrington over twenty years ago. He said, “The idea of a climbing gym in the Berkshires isn’t new,” and is something that has been discussed for decades, but “finding a space and putting the resources together” in the area was difficult. When Friedman discovered the building on Stockbridge Road in northeast Great Barrington and became connected to Yagmin, “things started to click into place,” he explained. Yagmin, who won the 2024 and 2025 Favorite Shaper awards and has over 30 years of climbing experience, will manage “all things climbing,” Friedman said, including wall design, hold creation and routesetting. “Dan’s background in hold shaping and wall design through Decoy Holds, combined with my prior business experience, made for a natural fit.”
