Route setting: 5/5 - great routes.
Gear: 2/5 - extremely run down gear, mist bring your own. Owner really needs to resupply rentals… but they do have the bare necessities.
Location: 8/5 - just ridiculously cool views. Despite the shortcomings here, it’s worth a visit. (The scooter area is off limits here, but there is a bus line)
Staff: 5/5 - chill, good vibes.
Notes: The other comments here about walls being bare or shut down are true. For such a beautiful gym, it’s a shame things go unattended here and walls are taped off. There is enough to go around but it’s far from perfect here.
I pay an absurd amount of money for you to close the bouldering area for multiple consecutive days. For people that o ly get to come in once or twice a week. This sucks. I'm going to switch to touchstone.
Update: it's 10 days after they first shut down bouldering walls, and they still don't have them all opened back up. Canceled membership.
Update 2: one week post competition. There are still 2 walls that remain unset. Can't believe people pay $110 a month for blank walls.
I love this place so much! I took up climbing a year and a half ago and I climb twice a week. I love the community, the classes, and all of the routes. It’s my happy place. Highly recommend if you want to try climbing in SF.
They also just added an upstairs lounge, which is really comfy to hang out in.
Absolutely epic gym. Great views from the big windows out into the bay. See Alcatraz as you climb. Very creative and fun routes with challenging features. Really cool bouldering with fun finishes. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They pick up the phone too. Can’t wait to go back.
tldr; convenient location, routes aren't as fun as other gyms
I'm a newbie to bouldering, but have visited quite a few gyms around the Bay. The location is convenient, and the routes are challenging. However, I find routes at other gyms to be more fun, while still being challenging. The routes here seem to punish people with longer limbs, when compared to other gyms.
