To guide the evolution, Bouldering Project Brooklyn relied on expertise from general manager Quinn Ventura and renowned climber Kevin Jorgeson, who now serves as the company's head of product. 

"Our core belief is that climbing is more than a sport; it’s a catalyst for personal and communal growth. The new Bouldering Project in Brooklyn represents this philosophy, offering a space where individuals can challenge themselves, forge connections, and embrace a balanced lifestyle," the organization said in a press release.
