• Gym Etiquette

  et·i·quette: the customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group. How does etiquette factor into the climbing world? It’s about more than simply being polite—it’s also about being safe.... Make sure whatever boulder problem you’re getting on doesn’t cross with someone else’s climbing path. When the gym is crowded, limit yourself to one attempt per climb before allowing someone else to climb on that section of wall. Take turns and be courteous to your fellow boulderers. Check out our handy flyer to learn more.
• Current Routes

  With 17 gyms in California, the Touchstone Routesetters are the heart of our business. Without their inspired testpieces, we’d have nothing to crush, project, or send. Touchstone is proud to have a large full-time routesetting... team which produces the highest quality routesetting anywhere. With a rotation of 10 weeks or less at every Touchstone gym, you’ll always find a new project to work on, no matter which gym you climb at. View current routes at LA Boulders. Download the Kaya App to stay up to on the latest sets, see beta videos, and track your sessions.
• Find Your Crew

  We at Touchstone Climbing strive to cultivate inclusive spaces in which everyone can thrive and believe in creating a place where folks can come together to do what they love. We are proud to host... a number of meetups and affinity groups so everyone can find their crew to crush with! We’re not just gyms—we’re communities.  
• New to Climbing?

  If you’re brand new to climbing (or just need a little refresher), we offer complimentary intro classes—all the gear you need is included! Register online ahead of time here.
• Safety

  When bouldering, every fall is a ground fall, and therefore potentially dangerous. Climbers must be conscientious and be ready to roll onto the mats when unexpected falls happen. When walking through the gym, it is... YOUR responsibility to stay out of a climber’s fall zone, NOT their responsibility to avoid falling on you! Keep your head on a swivel, always look up, and take wide turns far away from the walls. Leave your iPod in you bag on crowded, busy nights. Look after each other and keep people from walking under climbers. If you have any questions, our friendly desk staff is always available to help.
• Climbing Clinics & Lessons

  From the fundamentals to advanced movements to outdoor etiquette, our climbing clinics can help you become a better boulderer or get you ready for outdoor climbing. Looking for something that’s more tailored to your personal needs?... Book a private lesson at the front desk for one-on-one instruction.
• Yoga & Fitness Classes

  We offer a variety of fitness classes, ranging from Acro Yoga to TRX, Pilates, Slow Flow, and more! Check out our fitness classes page to discover all the fun, non-climbing things you can do at... LA Boulders. Check out our regularly scheduled offerings and monthly fitness workshops on our calendar—they’re all included in your membership!

  Climbing isn’t the only way to stay fit! Check out our fully stocked weight and cardio room. Kettle bells, treadmills, ellipticals, concept rowers, squat/bench racks, free weights, and pull up bars—we’ve got everything you’ll need... to reach all your lifting, squatting, pulling, and sweating goals.
