Great support. They know to build community around them. $5 for toddlers incl rental is a steal. Recommended

Great place to go climb. Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff, with affordable rates and rental gear. First time there you have to watch an orientation video and spend some time with staff learning what you need to do.

The lead climbing area is 80% to 90%, and the bouldering area is the rest, so the bouldering area is quite small. All lead climbing was done with the top rope, and there were many kinds of challenges and it looked like a lot of fun. There were many children in the bouldering area in the evening, and even while climbing, they came to the bottom and I couldn't concentrate on climbing. In the middle of the night, there are only adults, and that kind of thing has disappeared, but the bouldering area is a little narrow, so you need to be careful. All the staff were cheerful and had a good response. If you're interested in lead climbing, I highly recommend you give it a try.

Questions & Answers

Is there auto-belay systems?

Abigail Rodgers | Nov 5, 2018
Roni Keller | Nov 5, 2018

Nope! Only traditional ropes! You go up and you go down! Do you have to watch a video before you can climb!

Do you have to bring a partner to be able to climb?

Cassandra McLaren | Nov 5, 2018
Andre Petermann | Nov 5, 2018

Bringing a partner is highly recommended. If you come alone there may be someone else who needs a partner. There is also a bouldering area where you can climb alone.

Are reservations required? Are reservations recommended?

No reservations needed. If you have a large party and haven't climbed there before plan a little extra time for orientation and whatnot.

Can women in skirts climb?

David Gonzales | Jul 7, 2022
Karime Bernal | Aug 6, 2022

They probably can but if they are planning to do higher level climbs it will be difficult and so workout clothes are preffered at least for me

Does the gym have AC?

Thad Botham | Jun 7, 2022
Michael Bishop | Jun 7, 2022

It has evaporative coolers, which won't get it as cool as AC. Tends to get a little warm in the summer months, but beats climbing out in the sun.

Planning my move to arizona soon, do you guys have a weights section too? Simple squat rack and bench would suffice nothing crazy.

How much of the gym consists of bouldering?

Gabriel Ramirez | Nov 4, 2020
Phoenix Rock Gym | Nov 4, 2020

Most of the gym is top-roping. However, we have two dedicated bouldering areas and you can boulder in the lead area when it is not in use. Stop by and check us out.

Is there a weight limit?

Ashley Healy | Nov 4, 2020
Andre Petermann | Nov 4, 2020

Former employee here. There is no weight limit, per-se, but you do need to be at least 25 lbs. This is so your body weight can pull you to the ground after you reach the top of a climb.

Joshua Whitmore | Nov 5, 2019

From the web site: Everyone Must Watch the Training Video Also, all children under 12 need an adult belayer to hold the rope for them. There is no charge for just belaying, and all the required equipment and training is provided.

Do you rent cras pads?

Jason Kruse | Nov 5, 2019
Kenneth Leslie | Nov 5, 2019

If you mean to take out of the gym I don't believe so. As far as being in the gym, there are crash pads set up in all the bouldering areas and the top rope areas have a padded floor.
