What our members are saying

“Great gym. Friendly staff, awesome top roping and bouldering sections. Showers are great and gym is great too.”

Matteo

“Awesome local gym with a hot sauna and many fun lead routes. Mornings are absolute bliss, evenings are crowded but a vibe.”

Chris

“Top notch climbing gym in SF. Great for lead and belay Bouldering section is a bit cramped when crowded. The weights section is pretty good. Good lockers and sauna.”

Ranjith

“Great if you enjoy top roping or lead. Slightly less great but still good if you want bouldering. There's also plenty of workout equipment, yoga classes and more. This place is a bargain if you're climbing and working out here often!”
