Great time here at the Rock Club…read more Purchased a Groupon and decided to visit on a Friday morning. Called ahead and the front desk staff were very quick in getting back to me to confirm that a belayer was available at that time. They also confirmed the Groupon over the phone. I went ahead and completed the required waiver forms online prior to our visit. Adequate parking was available at that time. The Rock Club (downstairs) shares its space with a with a tennis club, so make sure you follow the ramp down toward the Rock Club entrance and NOT the stairs whih leads to the tennis club. We arrived at around 10am and it was fairly empty. The Rock Club staff explained the process and set us up with climbing shoes. We were then introduced to our belayer who was awesome. Over the next hour, we tried climbs ranging in difficulty. The wall heights range from about 35-40 feet and the peg placement and wall angles vary throughout the climbs, making some more difficult than others. We even had some time to try some bouldering. Our belayer was great at explaining techniques and technical terms. She was very patient and very encouraging...though not "pushy" at all. After we finished, the staff was nice enough to show us around to see what else was available at the facility: childrens area, common areas, training rooms and weight rooms. May go without saying...wear comfy clothes. As a regular gym-goer, but someone who has NOT climbed before, this was a welcomed challenge. Certain muscles, particularly the forearms and core, may not be part of the typical gym regimen...but are very important in climbing...that being said, I was definitely feeling it the next day. Overall we had a great experience at the Rock Club. We will deinifitely look into other classes. Kudos to all the staff members there.

Had a really nice time here. Had no idea a place like this existed. We came here for Girl Scouts…read moreand my daughter had a blast. The staff was really helpful at getting all the girls set up. And explaining the rules really well that they were prepared and less scared. The whole facility is larger than I thought it was. So you really can be there with all skill levels. They have a gym upstairs so when I went to use the women's bathroom, I was not surprised that they have a shower. Because they know you can work up rockclimbing or using the gym. So I know that me being there I'm not typical clientele. But I was surprised they didn't have a changing table. I can't possibly be the first parent to be there with an infant who needed a changing table. ‍ oh well. Still had a good time.

( love this) 10 - they change the obstacles from time to time. I really appreciate this. PS: the slide.. Its getting old, the suits yeah those too. Too slow of a line, Put something else there...

If you are a bit of an adventure seeker or just looking to test your Ninja/Spartan/Tough Mudder…read morewarrior skills this spot could be for you. This location is for all ages, pre-teens to adults. Kind of wish when I was a kid they were around to be a birthday party option...talk about the extra cool gift that friend would get simply for offering such a fun, physically and mentally safe place to challenge oneself. Okay so I'm a thrill seeker at times and like to challenge myself, so whether with friends, dates, strangers or self I'm in for fun where I can get it. This location even has auto belay wall areas, so if you didn't think you or your friends were strong enough to keep you right, or you just wanted to challenge yourself as a solo adventurist, you could do so very safely. For those that want slightly more of a challenge and trust their gripping skills, definitely check out their bouldering walls, its totally worth it. From someone whom has climbed elsewhere i will say their wall designs/setups are definitely challenging, so learn to understand the # ratings so you don't get discouraged, just keep working the angles and you'll get it. If not their staff is super top notch and happily will help you along the way if needed. For a newer location I'm loving the openness and cleanliness, even more so here post re-opening in COVID 2020 year. Encourage all to definitely give them a try, you won't regret or forget the experience(s).

The equipment was very easy to use and without a doubt, the guided session was a big help. There are many different rock climbing paths and levels of difficulty, plus bouldering as well. The gym is also very spacious. 10/10 experience, I didn't even want it to end. It's also such an amazing full body workout! I've been looking forward to going rock climbing again ever since!

[Updated Review from 5 stars to 3 stars to 4 stars]…read more Been a customer since its opening, i guess that makes me a 2+ year customer of this place. After spending this much time, I guess my review should be a legit and honest review There has been good and bads, most of the bads have been fixed, i.e. wifi password issues, scheduling, etc. What remains are the good. Tho, there are still some tiny room for improvement like: adding a weight scale in the workout area, add clothing racks into restroom doors to facilitate changing, add couple more rope anchors as they become scarce when its crowded at the corner, etc. These are minor, simple, and inexpensive suggestions to enhance customer experience... I come here for a workout and mostly stick to rope climbing. The length for the climbing are the tallest in the area, 60ft. And some overhang. Which is amazing for endurance workout. Most of the times this place hosts rope competition and perhaps building the next generation competitive youth/young athletes. Kudos contributing back to the community and helping parents help their kids grow and to have a shot at the big stage. A side effect of hosting competitions is that the settings left are compy style and spread out. They do their best to fill the routes afterwards, good work takes time, so lots of patience is needed. Compy routes might not be suitable for the recreational climber, as they are challenging and tailored to people who have been training consistently. Bad luck to you if you make a long trip and find closure and/or compy routes only, I guess should check social media for these kind of updates. For the normal routes, most of the times they put a lot of thought in the route and flow. I like that. Because the gym's size might be limited, they only have about thirty-ish leadable routes, sometimes I wish they could put three climbs in one route to maximize the number of climbs, like how they do it in other places in Europe and in Asia. Just a wishful thinking. In terms of the route style it can somehow be predictable. The recipe is usually reachy holds that requires deadpoint, and compy holds (perhaps next to the greatest holds), which might not work for people using the gym to train for outdoors climb and short people. Well, not everything is perfect and cant be picky in everything. I think it is good as is at the moment In terms of bouldering, I do not boulder often in here because of the limited bouldering space, hence limited offering and grade variability the gym provides. I've come to realization that the style is not suitable for me and can be very predictable. From v0 to v3, its quite straightforward, either too easy or just a staircase. From v4 onwards i feel they want you to cut feet. Most of the routes are either jumps, dyno, coordination, or reachy that you have to deadpoint or can barely reach it statically, with holds spread out without any holds in between. Feels like most are compy style that they aim to build the next generation for and for the big stage. Nothing wrong with the MO of the gym and what they are aiming for. Its actually good that they are aiming for specific customers, and they would know it best because I see other people getting rowdy, cheerful, and excited about all the jumps and dynos... But, this is definitely not for me. I've got too much at stake to get injured and become decomissioned for long time... So, I end up going to other gyms for hardcore bouldering: gp81, vital les, and sometimes even method climbing gym. It is just me tho. This place has a tension board 2 for training. I used to train with it until i realized it conditions me to those holds and makes me useless at rope climbing and bouldering. So i stopped using it. But it can be a great tool for core training and to get stronger. Overall, its a great gym for rope and not so much for bouldering. My two cents. If you never been here, i'd say its definitely worth coming to check it out. : )

There are private and group lessons available as well as event rooms for special occasions or gatherings. Every few months they change up their climbing routes, which is nice. On top of that, they have great deals from Monday to Wednesday. Recently, they've opened a cafe serving coffee and food. There is a workout section if you want to warm up or if you're not in the mood to climb. We happened to visit 8/17/24 with some family and unbeknownst to us, it was their 19th anniversary and they've been open since 1995! As part of the celebration, they hosted raffles, offered great deals, huge discounts on merch, and had food available for everyone! It was definitely an unexpected but nice surprise! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend this place, it's a ton of fun and offers something for everyone!

They have many different packages/options based on what you want to do, and free climbing shoe rental if you choose. They do have lockers and cubbies to put your personal items in. I would suggest bringing a lock if you use a locker and want to secure your personal stuff but not a necessity We climbed for an hour and again we really liked it.

My husband and I got married at Tappan Hill in Oct 2021, rescheduled from Oct 2020. From the very first day we toured the venue, to working with us through COVID to reschedule, to the couple months leading up to and the day of our wedding, Caitlin was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is prompt, responsive, helpful, thoughtful, SO GOOD AT HER JOB, and just amazing, period. Marleny was my bridal attendant the day of the wedding and just took care of not just me and my husband, but our families too. She was always there anticipating our next move and I genuinely don't know how she managed to be in so many places at once. I got so many compliments on not only the food (duh), but even the service that the waiters provided! I can't remember ever going to a wedding and complimenting the waiter and multiple people came up to me and told me how amazing theirs was. Long story short, don't hesitate to hire AK (lucky you if you get Caitlin :)) - they were so understanding during COVID, and they ultimately made our day just perfect through and through. I'm so thankful we chose them to work with!
