A lot of serious climbers with a sprinkle of novices the times I've been. Space: Grungy. The air circulation in there is either very poor and/or the mats and place doesn't get deep cleaned enough. It smells like feet moreso than other gyms I've been to. The place is compact for the amount of climbs it has. Climbs: Nice variety of climbs that are fun and challenging. I like the natural wall in the back. Holds could be cleaner (i.e. some holds are so dirty you might mistake it for another color, feels extra greasy). The climbing tape markings are not well maintained (i.e. missing start tape so you're not sure what's considered the intended start).

I was visiting from out of town and my family and I wanted to do some climbing. We climb multiple…read moretimes a week at home and have been climbing for 4+ years now. I think this gym is highly underrated. It is mostly a bouldering gym and features a more compy style as well as tough out door feely boulders. The gym features crack climbing as well. The lead wall was temporarily shut down, but was used as another bouldering/crack climbing wall. The setting is 9/10 easily. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is interested or new to climbing. The staff was friendly, helpful, and interacted with us! Overall I'd say the gym was 9.5/10. Only reason it isn't 10/10 is that the gym was pretty warm. I'm there than that, one of the best gyms I've been to!

BRC deserves more than the 3.5 average it has right now…read more I can't comment on hearsay about managers or "uninspired" climbs (I am not a route-setter nor do I claim to be one) but BRC is pretty solid. The gym area is really nice, far surpassing The Spot Boulder (the other climbing gym BRC is usually being compared too). And unlike Movement Boulder, BRC has auto-belays so you don't need a partner to rope climb. BRC also has a small lounge area where you could theoretically work from (free WIFI) and free coffee and tea for members every morning until 11am. The biggest downside to BRC I'd say is that it's really a rope-climbing gym. The bouldering area has a lot to be desired if comparing it to The Spot (which in BRC's defense is a bouldering-specific gym). And though there are auto-belays, there's only about 1/2 dozen (I think?) so unless you have a partner to climb with most the climbing is inaccessible to you. On a side note, I do find the crowd at BRC about 20'ish years older than that at The Spot too. I received a free week at BRC after taking one of their belay classes and thoroughly enjoyed my time.

There are three main climbing gyms in Boulder and this is undoubtedly the worst of them…read more First and foremost, they offer the worst product at almost the exact same price. While Movement and The Spot have several gyms within driving distance of each other, the BRC charges nearly the same price for their single location. That means that members here are paying for less product than they would receive at other gyms. Second, the management is bad. The general manger exudes a kind of psycho energy as he stares at climbers through the front desk window. Multiple BRC youth team members have said that the managers make them feel uncomfortable. This has been going on for years and as far as I know they have done nothing to address it. Finally, the climbs at this gym are uninspired. There are a couple talented route setters on their staff, but the majority are inexperienced kids with an inflated sense of importance. It's truly amazing that a company that only needs to set a few routes per week is somehow putting out worse climbs than their competitors with 3x-5x the amount of setting.

The guy at the front desk responded with a slightly irritated "what do you want to know?" before informing me I that I should have been looking at the website first and then pulled it up on his computer. He then told me that the front desk doesn't know what goes on out front so they couldn't help much! Needless to say I left without booking a class and don't plan to return. Really bad first impressions, no interest demonstrated, and overall a lot harder work than I ever anticipated.

We were visiting family in the area so we brought our kids (age 8 and 10) on a hot day outside, and…read morethey had a blast. The staff members were so helpful and kind, they showed the kids what to do safely, and then let them go at it on the appropriate courses. I don't know the technical terms but the ones that allowed them to clip themselves in and come down when they were ready was amazing. They treated the kids like any other climbers, and they were absolute naturals. My husband and I just watched (supervised) in awe. We took a short dinner break across the street at John's restaurant and bar (AWESOME) and then they went back to climbing until almost 9pm. It was truly one of the best days we have ever had as a family. Oh and then they begged to go back the next day so we went (equally amazing!). Their confidence skyrocketed and they are well on their way to being lifelong climbers. The only issue was that any other gym we go to will pale in comparison to our experience here! Many walls are not that high nor are the gyms as friendly to kids. Really superior facility. Thank you to the whole team! We will definitely be back!

Was a loyal member for years. Fell on hard times, and cancelled my card without cancelling the gym…read moremembership here (I was on recurring payments for years and didn't recall the policy). I didn't use the gym that entire month, which staff acknowledged and knew about. Was threatened to be sent to collections over a month's fee after years of being a member and even hyping the gym on social media at times. The owners true colors came through and I haven't been back since. BRC, movement, other great options where you're humanity is valued along with great climbing! Also have heard from former staff how the owner treats employees that arent white differently. Very unfortunate spoil to the old era of climbing here.

When you go in if its your first time thy will make you watch a safety video, but we couldn't even hear it?? So was not totally sure of the point of the video. If you know how to belay, you will need to take a belay test in order to prove your knowledge and then they will mark it in their computer that they have tested you. You also have to do something to be able to use the auto belay but we didn't do any of those so i am not sure what you need to do. They have special clips that you will need to get from the front though to be able to use them. They had 60 ropes with around 120 different climbs and a large bouldering section. This was place was pretty impressive. Though ropes were a little close to each other and there was a LOT of people when we were there. The staff was friendly. Overall we enjoyed our experience. It was a little expensive. $18 a person and that is without gear rental. Hence the 4 stars. It was fun for a treat though and i will probably be back in the future
