I've been to the U District location and came here a few days ago for a lunchtime climb and enjoyed…read moreit! During the weekday, not that many people and that's how I normally enjoy my climbs. Check in was easy and I bought a day pass as I still have a lot of credit left on my BP account. Thanks to Tempe location refusing to refund my annual membership. When life gives you lemons, go climb all the BP locations across the country! The routes here are easier than what I am used to as I am usually about a V2 or V3 level climber but I was clearing some V4s and V5s, it gave me a nice confidence boost! I loved the climbs here. They have a lower level too with more climbing but I ran out of time so will check it out when I am in Seattle again. Parking is tight around here but you can find it, just have to look a bit. I'd definitely come back to this location again!

This location is smaller and has less amenities than the original Poplar location…read more It's still wonderful and perks is it's in the central Fremont area where there are tons of places to work to before and after your bouldering session / workout! There is no giant parking lot like their is at the Poplar location. I'd say the punch packs and memberships are on the expensive side but it works at all the locations (there is a new one in U District I haven't been too!). I usually get the 10-punch pass for almost $300 after tax.

Camp Long is the biggest park in West Seattle most people don't know about. It's not on the water -…read morebut that's not a bad thing. Within the boundaries of the park are miles of trails that most people drive hours out of town to walk on. Not to mention owl spottings, blackberries, bathrooms, cabins to camp in, a natural rock climbing wall and a cool events space. I had dear friends get married here and it felt like they had rented a overnight camp to celebrate - but it was a ten minute walk home. Weeds are a bit overgrown with COVID having Parks only doing essential maintenance but not too bad. Spend an hour or an afternoon here - it's worth it!

I can remember going with the group to camp at the park and fell in love with the beauty of the park and all the fun we had playing games and camping. This was in the mid 70's and I haven't been back since but I should revisit the park to remember the great times I had there that helped me stay out of trouble and be productive in life as I got older. Great place to take the family to back then.

Lets just say I have a lot of credit to burn through with BP but now thinking about it, its not a…read morebad thing honestly as BP has many locations across the country. I was up in Seattle for work and came in one evening to climb while in town. I was doing a bunch of other things and didnt get in to climb until about 10 before 9pm. That gave me only 1 hour 10 min to climb. I wish they stayed open to 11pm as there were still a bunch of people here climbing close to the end! One of my gripes with BP is that they make you complete a liability waiver at each BP location you go to so that gets pretty annoying. Ive been to the BP in Brooklyn (not my favorite), Tempe, DC (pretty good), SLC (huge space and great to climb) and now here at this location and each time, had to complete the waiver. This purely bouldering gym is great. I like that the entire gym is for bouldering and no need to share with climbers on rope. Nothing against them, just like a bouldering only gym. So much stuff to climb here as there are two floors for bouldering. The routes are a bit easier than other BPs but still very fun. They also have sauna and cold plunge here but didnt get to try it. I will be back next time to check this out! There is street parking here, so while not the best parking, its not too bad. Day passes are $30 so not cheap but pretty worth it. Next time I plan to stay here for awhile. Great climbing experience here and an hour was not enough, I need like 2 or 3 hours honestly. Ill be back again when Im in town!

Pretty decent courts, played there during the week and it wasnt busy at all. We were the only ones there at this 3 court set up. Nets are pretty good, no major cracks on the court. There is also a practice hitting board you can hit on too. Played soccer for the meetup.com thing at the soccer field and the field was in good shape. Nice upkeep of the field. There used to be a tennis court next to that but no more. Anyways, pretty nice park, a lot of people walking their dogs, kids running around etc. Nice environment and good place to bring your family. See ya at the park.....Ill be the one wearing TapOut gear! haha! Happy park'n!

This place reminds me of premodern climbing gyms before the craze and the streamlined decision…read moremaking of big climbing gyms like SBP. And I love it! From the street it does not look like a retail area. And the parking lot is very steep with even loose gravel at some points. But there are a solid amount of parking and during the afternoon when I arrived there was no problem parking. The gym has a lazertag like feel with very large open areas but obstructed views from the many corners, tunnels, caves, and different wall features. The walls go on quite a bit so there is never a lack of wall shapes and inclines. And of course, who could forget the Rotisserie. A giant rolling log that spins as you climb. The start holds are weighted so they are always on the bottom for you to reach, and the moment you grab on, it starts to turn. As you climb more the momentum starts to build up and it starts to feel like a log rolling competition. It adds a whole new layer of strategy and planning to the climb and it was an absolute pleasure. However I will say, I can climb V5's pretty easy and we had a few climbers in our group who were newish and they couldn't even enjoy a single route on that log. The route quality I would rate as medium since some felt like it was heavily catered to niche body types. But you can tell that the whole gym was made by climbing enthusiasts. There are hidden murals, Exit sign holds, dyno walls, traverse problems, etc. The worst thing about the whole gym is the down climbing rocks. 1, they are some form of sharp plastic and don't feel the least bit safe. 2, they fail to provide adequate foot holds to them so some of them are seriously a joke haha. Downstairs there is a whole separate world of locker rooms, sauna, and cold plunge. They also recently reduced the day pass price so I can't even complain about that! Looking forward to my next visit.

i saw the spinning rotisserie wall climbing gym just opened and i had to see it for myself. the gym…read moreis still very new and in the early stages, still working out some kinks. staff was very friendly, helping us check in for the first time and were very receptive to feedback. the lay out is nice, there's quite a few walls, mostly vertical and overhangs. when we went, routes were pretty tough, even the v0s, and staff were aware and actively working to grade routes differently. also, routes were only color coded by tapes usually under the holds, which can be difficult mid-climb, trying to figure out what holds to use, im not sure if this is how it will be or if they were trialing it. there were also no down climbs, which made coming down the walls a little difficult, but we were told they were adding them soon. the rotisserie wall was a highlight and so fun, and definitely something that makes this place so unique. it was fun to get creative with the spin/gravity + momentum as part of the climb. the gym also has quite a few amenities-- work space, pool tables, locker room, gym, cold plunge, and sauna, which was gorgeous and very relaxing. you do have to bring your own towel to use the sauna, or you can buy at the front desk.

It is behind, in the back of the property, and has lots of playground equipment, but it's a bit secluded and harder to access by walking to it.
