It gets super crowded sometimes on the weekends and night. I wish they had more yellow and red problems but overall this is a great place! Offers a lot! read more

I like dis place cuz they haz roks and other stuff like shoos and wals and people hoo r climbing

I LOVE ABP! I'm from out of state and came to visit for Southwest boulder fest. I already knew how much I liked this place, but they really put on a high energy, RAD event. I had so much fun and was so grateful to be around amazing men and women climbers. I left with drive and inspiration. This place has everything I would dream about in climbing gym. While I was visiting this last week, I climbed at several different gyms and none even came close to comparison as ABP. Thank you for all that you do! read more

Classes are great. It was good to finally see some brown people teaching class today.

AMAZING Climbing Yoga Gym Sauna I only wish they would upgrade the saunas and get COLD PLUNGES. This place should also sell cheaper food!!! Love you ABP read more

Great bouldering gym but the yoga classes leave much to be desired. I understand that there are different styles and different instructors but please at least warm the room or turn off the air conditioner. It's pretty difficult to stretch when the environment is cold or very cool. read more

I love ABP, i've been to a handful of bouldering/climbing gyms and ABP is my favorite by far. I love that they have so many events all the time, especially their Queer Climb Night which is super rad and inclusive! Their facilities are huge, clean, and constantly changing. The staff is always super nice too! I'm actually moving within walking distance of this gym and can't wait to go more often and finally splurge for a membership! My only qualm is that it can get VERY crowded at certain hours (but what gym doesn't) and their parking lot is usually full so I tend to park on the street instead of fighting for a spot, but that's not big deal. read more

Great atmosphere! They literally have everything there. Not only do they have bouldering, but they have a gym, lounge areas, food, drinks, and yoga classes. Great place to get a workout in/a nice refresher after! read more

I love this place and would live here if I had the time. The day price includes access to the climbing area, gym area, yoga classes throughout the day, wifi lounge upstairs, lockers and sauna. Clean facility, great staff and a good place for climbers of all experience levels. The parking lots are big but you might have to park on the street during peak hours or special events. read more

This was my first time at a bouldering gym and made me extraordinarily sad that I'm moving away. The routes are all clearly marked and on a simple colored scale from beginner to advanced. Plenty of room to learn and challenge yourself in a social environment. Employees are helpful and friendly. Best of all... full sized functional fitness gym and yoga studio included. For the monthly price they're asking this is a steal. Owners: Please for the love of all that is holy open a gym in SoCal. Specifically the Irvine area. Thanks. read more

Awesome bouldering gym. Facilities are new, shiny and top notch. I like the color scheme for route difficulty and it encourages you to try problems that may be a little beyond your skill level. Good way to keep pushing yourself and growing as a climber. Only wish is that the gym opened earlier as it would make it easier to swing by before work. Would way rather have a 5:30am opening time (like most gyms in Austin) than an 11pm closing time. Same for the weekend hours. I feel like 7 to 9 am on a Saturday would be a lot better for the average person's schedule than having the gym available from 8 to 10pm. read more

This is a great facility to boulder. They have a range of problems great for beginners to advanced climbers. They also have instructional classes, kid events, yoga and fitness classes. My personal favorite instructors are Phoebe and Liz. Lately the gym has become more popular so between the hours of 5:30-8 it gets really crowded and parking can be a hassle (they have a large parking lot to the side/back of the building and a smaller one in front of the entrance). Thankfully there is also street parking across the street. read more

Awesome gym and facilities. Their grading system opens you up to more problems. The training area in the middle of the gym was tight too! Worth the visit read more

My first time visiting ABP and I was met with a very cold and rude woman at the front desk. I believe her name was Lucy? There were no other customers when I walked in so it wasn't like I was holding up a line or anything. Any simple question I asked like about chalk bag rentals or classes she answered me as if I was pathetic and wasting her time. It was my first time how was I supposed to know without asking ? I almost turned around and left after the how rude and less than helpful she was. Other than Lucy the facility is very nice and clean and have a lot of options for different levels. I'm not sure I want to go back if their staff is as inconvenienced by customers as Lucy seemed to be. UPDATE: The manager has reached out and been extremely kind and helpful! He even gave us a tour and climbed with us for a couple of hours and was super encouraging and helpful showing us tips and answering all our questions! We had such a blast and learned so much and can't wait to come back. Thank you James ! read more

Simply put. this is an awesome gym. The climbing is always changing, so it never gets boring. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and willing to help. The weight room is well stocked. The entire place is kept very clean (unlike the other rock climbing gyms in #Austin). The locker rooms and shower areas are always kept immaculate, an clean. read more

Great spot! Visiting town and went for the first time with some friends. Really cool set up and a wide range of difficulties. Look forward to going back when I'm in town. Need to find one of these in my city! read more

I wish it was closer. It's a fantastic place to let the kids literally climb the walls. It gets a little crowded sometimes but the crowd is friendly and fun so you don't mind. Forget bars, if I weren't married, THIS would be the place to go to meet someone. Everyone here is fit and friendly and 20s-30s. My only complaint is how dirty the kids/birthday party room gets. They really need to clean that floor padding. My baby's hands were BLACK. read more

Austin Bouldering Project has world class facilities and an ambiance to it that just makes you want to come back. I live in Round Rock and frequent Austin Rock Gym, which is an outstanding gym, but cannot compare to the facilities, and importantly, the accessibility offered by ABP. ABP has an astounding range of climbing runs (problems in climbing lingo) that you can attempt - and they are all color coded for difficulty. This is where ABP really shines - anyone can come here and have a good time, whether you are climbing the yellow runs which give solid footing and generous handholds, or the white runs which to my eyes are only climbable to those that could contemplate a professional career in climbing. If you have never climbed before, come here! It will give you the best experience you could possibly have! If you're a seasoned climber but have never been to ABP, please check it out. Their facilities are unparalleled! read more

Great place to exercise muscles that are usually not exercised enough. They play good music, took off one star because of the location. It's a bit too far East and a little sketchy for my personal taste. read more

Lots of wall space with challenging problems. There is a very social atmosphere since there are always so many people and the walls are positioned so that you can watch other people climb when you are resting. The mat is very soft and I've never had a problem jumping down and the down climbing holds make it easy to get off of the wall. read more

This is by far the best bouldering gym I've been to, and I've been to a lot of them. Really awesome rock gym, excellent variation on routes, and great customer service. Another bonus is you get free shoe rental on your first visit. read more

I just went for the first time, and I had a blast! The facility completely blew me away. Not only is it brand spankin new, but it's sooOO COOOOOOLLL. Pro tip- check out the locker rooms. They offer cubbies for your things in the hallway near the climbing area if you just need a place to stash your shoes. Shoe rental is waived the first time you visit, and they offer a discount for students. The staff was super cool and friendly. I'll be back for sure. read more

I had a great time. Staff was really friendly and there was a lot to do. I bought a day pass climbed for 2 hours, left got dinner, and came back for another 2 hours. I will be back read more

Fanstastic place for the family and even young kids. My kiddos love coming here and there is a good sized play area for them. The staff is super helpful. My only issue is that several parents just let their kids free and few don't even watch them. They are young and not always watching out for other kids. read more

Super fun place to go for a workout, although your arms will be completely dead by the time you finish. It's expensive overall but free for guests the first time (shoe rentals are just $4). Definitely happy with this as a place to work out - it's mentally challenging and physically exhausting. Would definitely come here again with a group of friends. read more

ABP is hands down one of the best run gyms I've come across. Varied and interesting wall angles, volumes for days, creative and inspiring route setting, solid training space(s), separate kids area,... I could go on and on. The owners have created an incredibly aesthetic and functional space and community that's becoming my home away from home for training. Austin SO needed this. Keep it up y'all. read more

Awesome place routes are amazing and fun levels from beginner to expert all bouldering price isnt too bad. I love this place i drive an hour to this place from new braunfels. read more

I went bouldering for the first time last night. Took the beginner class, which really just teaches basic rules and etiquette and includes a tour of the GINORMOUS space, but it was easy and informative, and then you get to free climb all you want. The space was incredibly clean, beautiful, and welcoming, and the climbing was fun, and difficult(though not impossible, as predicted). I really loved everything about being there from the coffee on tap to the complimentary lotion and bandaids. I will absolutely be back!! read more

I've climbed in gyms from Planet Granite in the Bay Area to Metro Rock in Boston. Austin Bouldering Project (ABP) is hands down my favorite location. I was a little thrown off in the beginning with their simplified color-coded routes, but I've come to appreciate them as they make identifying your path much easier. In addition, because of their large space it feels less cramped than in other gyms with their routes more evenly spaced out. ABP also takes advantage of its cavernous space by designating two separate areas for kids/parties. These areas are very well-appointed as well and don't seem like an afterthought as they tend to feel in other gyms (if they even have a kids area). I've seen a fair number of kids climbing here, but I've never had an issue with them running around underfoot as they stayed in their designated area. Aside from climbing they have a well-equipped weight room and a spacious yoga studio, which is a godsend if you need to stretch it out or try other types of workouts. I love that they have a heavy bag and assortment of climbing ropes and bars in addition to the regular free weights and treadmills. It seems like a fair number of people take advantage of the different fitness and yoga classes that they offer in the evenings and early mornings. The upstairs lounge space is well-designed and gives the gym a more relaxed atmosphere. People come to ABP to not only climb, but to study or get work done as well. The only thing the gym is missing is a coffee shop on the second floor. If you're looking for a great gym and climbing haunt, check ABP out. My only recommendation is to fill out the online waiver before you show up to save yourself some time, and to not miss the second overflow parking lot if you go during a busy period (late afternoon/early evening). read more

Love this place! It's the only bouldering gym I have tried in Austin but it is so great! Their bouldering wall is huge and they change the courses on it pretty often. ABP does a lot of fun events that are so awesome, I met my boyfriend here at an 80's party they threw one night. Every employee I have come into contact with here has been so nice and helpful! I wish this place was closer to my apartment because I would definitely come more often! They offer day passes with student discounts or a 10 day pass for like $100 and you can come whichever 10 days you so desire. They also let you rent their shoes if you don't own any bouldering shoes. I have also tried out their HIT Circuit classes with Ryan I think was his name? My first time trying that was okay. Ryan was kind of quick with his instructions but he knew what he was doing so I automatically trusted his tips/workouts. I tried that one a Monday and I was sore until Friday morning. It was a very good class that worked out pretty much every muscle in my body. The only thing I'd say about that is that it would help if he slowed down just a tad bit, other than that it was a solid class! I recommend giving this place a go, they are all around pretty fucking awesome! Depending on the time you go, parking can be a pain. If you're lucky, you'll find a spot in their immediate parking lot in front of them, if not they have parking out back or you can always find street parking! read more

Very very fun. This gym has such a good variety of things for all types of people. It isn't necessarily THE BEST for hardcore climbers. The ratings are pretty soft and pretty broad, which can be very good for some people. My personal opinion is that anyone can climb here, pretty much off the couch, while other gyms can be more of a challenge. Never the less I have lots of fun climbing here. read more

Great climbing routes, great gym and work out facility, staff is so kind and helpful. I have left my stuff on accident a couple of times and each time they had it in their lost and found. Seriously best place to work out in the Austin Area. read more

How about not removing my review this time. Seems like you just delete the bad shit for companies. Sad. This is supposed to be where you can leave you opinion on the business for others to judge, not you. Let me start out by saying this place is a great climbing gym but if I could give this place no stars I would, so one star it is. Here is why I don't plan to visit this facility again: This is the second weekend in a row where the staff there has been perfectly fine with their fellow employees and customers tying their dogs up outside while they work or climb. This is also the second weekend in a row I've called animal control on these people and place of business. I get that this is normally perfectly fine because it's a dog friendly business, they even provide water dishes, but being a dog friendly environment you shouldn't allow people(not even employees) to tie a dog up in near freezing temperatures. When I left there today my car said 36 degrees and that doesn't calculate wind chill. This smart person thought their dog today would be warm because they were nice enough to drape a bath Towel over the dog, You're pathetic. The staff sat there and watched this happen and then continued to watch the dog while it shivers doing noting about it. Both this time and last weekend I went in to complain about the Animals to the front desk and both times I was met by uncaring individuals that just stood there, smiled and shrugged their shoulders like they didn't care what was going on right in front of them. Shitty customer service. The first weekend it was an employees dog and when confronted he said the dog had been outside of longer and in colder weather, that's what I wanted to hear you idiot. And of course other staff comes to back him up ha. Not a place I'd suggest going if you are an animal lover since they seem to not give two shits. A fix to your problem. Put a sign up saying in extreme weather no dogs are allowed to be tired up. Simple as that but you'd need staff with a Common sense to enforce it. oh and also it's illegal to tether a dog in Austin. Shouldn't be too hard. read more

We had my sons 6th birthday party there yesterday & are so thankful we did! The party was so smooth & flowed really well. The kids had a blast & the other parents were just as impressed as we were!! Our instructors Mike & Lorenzo were incredible! Thank you so much ABP for making my little guys day so awesome :) read more

For the past several years, during the summer, I have taken my two grandkids now ages 12 and 13 to climbing camps at two other Austin gyms. This was the first year for ABP. The kids couldn't have been more excited at the end of each day when I picked them up and were sad when Friday afternoon came around to end the week of camp. The coaches, every one of them, were fantastic and the kids couldn't pick a favorite - they enjoyed each of them. Great atmosphere - lively - extremely friendly and helpful staff - love the facility itself. Wish I were younger, lived closer - membership wouldn't even be a question - it's a win/win at ABP. Now if they would just add a location on the "west" side of town! read more

fantastic place to tone up! super friendly to beginners and experts alike. love the upper deck that lets you do some work should you want to take a break. read more

Fun for kids and adults! Biggest boulder climbing facility I've seen. Newly constructed and clean. Signed my little girl up for an hour long instruction and she said she wants to do this every day! Instructor was Min Ho and we highly recommend him. He teaches an after school program. Very encouraging. read more

What a terrific place to have in our community. The staff could not be friendlier and more helpful. My wife and I are retired, yet they treat us like one of the gang. We appreciate going to to a venue where many of the staff call us by our first name. That is a thing of the past in most settings. We had absolutely no experience in bouldering/climbing gyms yet after only a month of going approximately every other day we are gaining a small degree of competency which makes us feel great. If you want to get Great exercise, with no pressure to go beyond your skill level, in a fascinating atmosphere, surrounded by a lot of healthy people, and friendly staff, this is the place to be. It is great for the entire family. Not only do my wife and I can go regularly, but my adult children have gone and had good experiences and are now joining also. We have taken the grandchildren and you can't believe the joy that you see as they run around the children's room ( not allowed in the adult section - thank goodness) climbing and Learning new skills. They talk about it all of the time with their family and friends. Finally, don't forget the workout room. You don't even have to be a climber to appreciate the fact that the workout room has what you need to get in shape. This facility has been constructed with incredible thought put into it. If it is maintained well, as it currently is, and they keep hiring professional, friendly staff such as Kate, Tyler, Joe, Mark, Liv and others that they currently have- they will be a long standing facility in our community. I almost forgot the rooster. How many establishments in town have a rooster serenading you and watching you while you are exercising. read more

I've been addicted since my first visit! Compared to other bouldering and climbing gyms in other cities you really can't beat the price for the value and it's way more beginner friendly than any other gym I've been to read more

love it here. great climbing routes, great gym, great people.
