Adult Day Passes are currently $28 (was $21 prior to 7/2022) and to rent shoes, it is $5. They also offer annual memberships and have a small shopping section for shoes and equipment. They offer bouldering and top rope. In order to top rope, you must complete their course there first. They also have a small weight room. The staff are friendly as well as other climbers. They have a shared parking lot. Great place for beginners looking to climb or interested in trying. 4/5.

Cool place. Very quiet during the day on a week day as you'd expect. Staff was super friendly and…read moreenthusiastic about their community and programming. They apparently host a lot of events. Day pass was $28, but there are sometimes deals on Mondays or Friday evenings. Equipment is included in the pass, so no separate rentals which is nice. We like bouldering. They correctly informed us that they set their routes on the difficult side. I could even tell during a simple warm up route that they're much more challenging than usual. You can top out, and climb up the top, onto the platform, and down a simple route with extra handles. Good experience, I'll be back!

What an AWESOME experience our second graders and teachers had on our first field trip to…read morePhiladelphia Rock Gym, East Falls location. From the moment the buses pulled up, we were greeted by a friendly staff member and brought through the gym to unload our belongings. The staff was EXTREMELY patient, hands-on and caring to our elementary students. They had a whole itinerary ready to go from the minute we arrived. Team building activities were spread out across the gym, while other groups climbed the walls and ate lunch. Throughout the entire day, the crew at PRG had everything under control and running smoothly! Thank you for an amazing experience and for going above and beyond for our students and this experience!! We truly appreciate all the work you put into making our trip the best one yet! We look forward to booking more trips with our students at Philadelphia Rock Gym!

This is my go-to climbing spot in the city. Can't say enough good things about this place! Honestly…read moreI think my only knock is that there's pretty poor street parking availability, but that's something out of their control. There's a good range of difficulties available, ranging from super beginning to challenges for the most experienced. There's a lot of places to lounge, even couches that I don't even begin to suspect as gross given the amount of people that must use it. They have a sliding scale pricing approach so that you can pay slightly less if you're more financially limited, or be generous if you love their services! I personally am on a flexible cadence as to when I climb, so I prefer the 10 punch pass, which ends up being cheaper than straight day passes without the commitment of a membership. Staff here are also great! They're more than willing to help you out with the beta on any given climb, and recommend good ones to start out with if it's been a minute since you've visited.

The guys were very helpful and encouraging so I wouldn't give up when I was climbing. Also, the place is very inclusive to all types of people, which made me super comfortable and I really appreciated that. I know they can get busy, so we went during the day and it was very laid back and the walls are super tall, so don't do it if you're afraid of heights. Otherwise, it's great place for a date and do actually do something fun and physical. They have different packages that are also very affordable and can correlate with what kind of experience you really want. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place.

They've got more bouldering options than I've seen in one gym which is nice. They have a lot of different routes that focus on different skills. They even have a ninja warrior climbing area. There's also a variety of areas good for kids and a private room for birthday parties. Their facility is spread across to buildings. And the only downside is you have to walk outside to explore them both, but even that didn't have a huge impact on e joying the experience

Reach climbing is a cool climbing gym. As one enters the building, there are 2 things that…read moreimmediately hit you: the size of the place and the overwhelming smell of feet. Wow! The right side must have 50' of top rope climbing running the 200' length of the building. Left side has bathrooms, lounge, exercise area and a yoga studio. Bouldering is the upper floor on the left. Overall, it is well organized by color, and easy to follow. There is not a plethora of tape on the wall . Each climb also has the difficulty level posted with a corresponding color. This gym needs 2 feet things to make it 5 stars: a good cleaning of the thick dust covering everything (walls, mats, floor, items for sale, etc) and deodorizing of the foot smell.

Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

We were scheduled to do a 1/2 day ice hike at Ricketts Glen. I had spoken to the owner Dave and…read morelet him know of my disabilities. He asked a few questions, then determined that it should be OK for me to go on the hike. Shortly before the hike we received an email from Dave saying that because of the warm weather the trip would not have as much ice as it normally does. He offered to reschedule or refund our money if we wanted, but also said we could go if we wanted. We wanted. When I got there Dave and the guides were fantastic. Very personable. They were helpful but without being intrusive. One of them carried one of my forearm canes in his backpack in case I needed it. (This was to have one hand free for the ice axe.) The hike was great. At the end of the hike I asked one of the guides if he thought I could do the repelling they offer... he conferred with the owner and the lead repeller guide, and they agreed that I would be allowed to do that in the Spring. I highly recommend Valley to Summit for a great time. I look forward to a full day ice hike in February.

Not sure why the reviews are so bad. Yeah, the gym is tiny. But it's has everything you'd need. We…read moreactually love how low key it is. They had a new year promo. $99 for 2 months membership + rentals for the whole 2 months + 2 intro classes. A steal if you ask me! All the staffs are friendly & welcoming. Felt like home from the very first visit! I spoke & emailed with a few staffs before our visit because I had lots of questions. They were quick to respond & very helpful. They also have auto belay here which is great if I want to top rope by myself. Street parking! So far, no issue with that. The only con for me is the walls are shorter all around. Both boulder & top rope. I like hella tall walls for top roping. It's okay. I should practice my techniques on bouldering wall anyway. Can't wait to visit their other locations!

She took her time to explain everything and made sure we felt comfortable and if we had any questions she made sure to let us know she was happy to help. The place is super clean and doesnt smell like feet which is great! Rock climbing- so my husband and I loved it but of course were scared to fall. But once we got the hang of it it wasn't too bad. I thought this would be easy but let me tell you it is pretty hard but super fun. Your hands and fingers hurt a little bit but that's because you are trying to keep a good grip. We stayed about 2.5 hrs and but the end of it we were super tired. We purchased the groupon and after our first day we receive a 2 week free membership which is pretty cool because we didn't get to try the other course where you wear the harness. Which is our next friday night day we want to try.
