I LOVE the Cliffs @ LIC. Incredible variety of climbing for all styles and skill levels. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, with excellent lessons (limited to class sizes of 4). Quality gym equipment both specialized for climbing and for proper lifts (deadlifts / squats). And above all, the patrons that frequent the Cliffs are lovely people. Friendly, open to sharing tips or hints when tackling a ‘problem’ (bouldering runs for those who are unfamiliar with the lingo). If you are seeking a climbing gym in the city, this is the way!!

The staff really do their best to work with you on payment questions. I’ve had a really good experience with the customer service here over the last several years with people helping me pause my membership for a surgery, alerting me to cheaper membership options, and generally being generous where possible. It really adds to the chill experience of climbing when payment issues are less of a stressor.

Great facility. I usually climb at the Harlem location but wanted to do some top rope climbing. The staff is really friendly and they do a good job teaching safe belaying practices. It’s also convenient because if you don’t have a partner they have several auto belays. Even though it gets pretty busy I’ve never had to wait too long or been unable to find someplace to climb. There are also some really cool routes especially if you do lead climbing. I haven’t done any bouldering here but it looks like they have a lot of routes. It also seems a bit more claustrophobic than the Harlem location. Overall, I really like the location. It’s easy to get to and very spacious. The biggest downside is how busy it gets.

The Cliffs LIC is a great all-around climbing gym. There’s plenty of bike parking out front and there’s even an indoor bike room right by the entrance when you walk in. …

Questions & Answers

Are there showers? Soap? Locker rooms? Are locks needed?

J B | Dec 3, 2019
Tayo A | Dec 4, 2019

Yes to all. And there are free tampons, though you did not ask. Bring your own lock. But also a lot of people do not bring locks, and people usually don't steal (really, never). You open a locker with stuff in it and you just close it and look for the next empty one.

Hello, I would like to know how much it costs and how long does the training take?

Cobra studios Movie Y Doramas. | Nov 27, 2021
Jaime Rudio | Nov 28, 2021

30$ day passes. Just bouldering you can basically just start immediately. Top ropes you will need someone to show you the basics to climb. But you need to take a class to learn to belay someone on your own.

Do you have a parking lot?

Kate Pech | Nov 2, 2021
Charlie Beta | Nov 3, 2021

There's no dedicated parking lot, but there is street parking in the neighborhood.

Does Cliff's have a sauna?

Jaime Rudio | Sep 3, 2021
Juliana Q | Sep 4, 2021

It doesn't

if somebody wants to come in and belay someone but does’t want to climb, would they have to pay anyway?

Ivy Corr | Jul 5, 2021
The Cliffs at LIC (Owner) | Jul 6, 2021

Hi Ivy, thank you so much for your inquiry. You do not need to pay to belay in the gym. You will need to fill out a Participant Areement and if you are not belay-certified, you will need to take a belay test at The Cliffs. If you do decide to climb at any point after, we ask that come up to the desk to pay.

Is there any discount because 30 dollars is a lot for one person especially a child

Kadiatou Daffe | Dec 3, 2019
Albert Chua | Dec 4, 2019

If your kid is in college, there's a discount. Until then, $30 is still worth it. You can spend the whole day there. A tip: find a member who's willing to donate a guest pass... Then it's free :P
