What a fun way to spend some time on a rainy day! This place was perfect for fun, a bit of…read moreexercise, and the opportunity to learn a new skill. My friends and I had almost private session: sessions consist of five people for about 45 minutes. At first I thought this was two little time but after going up the wall several times I learned that 45 minutes was plenty. We worked with the shop to provide us a quick lesson and the belayer. He was awesome and totally supportive for us first timers! We appreciated his chill approach and support. We had so much fun, we will definitely be back for more fun and experiences!

I've been a Boulderdash member for over six years, but I have to say I'm pretty dissatisfied with…read morethem lately. They reset walls very infrequently - today there were climbs up from early October! Three months of the same climbs is crazy, and on top of that their rope upkeep is lacking. There are so many climbs where the belayer has to physically force the rope through the belay device because it's gotten so fat over time, both when the climber goes up and when letting them down. The monthly member rate keeps going up, but I'm not seeing where that money's going because of the poor upkeep. It's unfortunate there's no other climbing gyms in the area.

Great gym. Bouldering are is smaller compared to other climbing gyms around LA but the problem…read moreclimbs are quality. Highly recommend. Rope section looks great, haven't tried it yet but planning to later. I like that they have a long traverse wall section too for warm up or full burn out.

I used 2 before I had to move to the city. When I called recently, they still had my info and told me my passes were NOT expired!?!?! I'm so grateful I held onto the barcode they gave me back then. Anyways, this location is very accessible. Lots of parking available. They have a small joint locker room available if you want to put some stuff away, but most people here just leave their stuff in the lobby or carry it with them. This is not like a Touchstone gym where guys and girls have their own locker and shower, but they have the basic necessities for a climbing gym. This specific location is more for belaying than it is for bouldering. I was hoping to coach some friends through a few easy routes, but there were maybe 3 v0's and 2 v1's. I had to throw my friends right into the deep end with some v2's and v3's. The routes felt a bit short too. They seem to make up for that here by making the starting points very low. There are definitely way more routes for belaying and the routes there go very high. I'd probably get certified just to belay here. It's just a shame that they spent so much effort for belaying, but couldn't make the routes a bit higher for bouldering.

You buy their passes, expect life time of uses!! When I was moving out of state I asked for a…read morerefund because I didn't get a chance to use it all. Instead they told me these passes are for life and there is no refund. So what do you do when life gives you oranges? You make orange juice! Be sure to come back and bring some friends/families (up to 2 extra at one time) to use up the passes. The gym is open and spacious, multiple walls for bouldering as well as auto belays.

The location is super clean, staff are all very friendly, and there's no judgement on your experience level. I'll definitely be back and suggest you try them out for yourselves.

It was my kids first time climbing inside a climbing gym. Luckily we had a wonderful crew of…read moreparents who made the experience amazing. We were celebrating a birthday with a group of kids. The lady working the gym today was such a buzz kill. I am all about following the rules and being safe especially in a climbing environment. We were told two rules at the beginning. Harness and shoes must be worn in rope areas and the bouldering area is off limits to 5 and under and that was changing soon. Icing on the cake was the pretentious tone she gave my young son and I by stating that he wouldn't enjoy climbing as he is being put in a harness. Way to set him up for success by saying a negative comment before he even gets to try it. Remember boulderdash staff what you say around kids they absorb. Words have a huge impact. You might "teach" children in your classes but not all children are the same. I've never been to a climbing gym that a manager can go climb with friends and family for hours. She wasn't supervising who was coming in and out and what was happening throughout the gym. When said manager did decide to come around she was randomly yelling at our kids or us for not doing things she never told us about in the first place. One star for the power trip employee with a negative attitude. One star for the cleanliness of the facility. It could use a deep cleaning. Sanitizer stations would be good. The lady working chased and almost grabbed my child for accidentally walking in the restroom with her climbing shoes to wash her hands. Again I understand it's the rules and we followed the rules given. That was one moment a child forgot and a parent was standing up to stop the child from going in. The gym had plenty of beginner routes and top ropes. Boulder area could use improvements. The weight station is a joke. A few free weights and kettle bells crammed in a corner. We will stick with climbing outdoors. After all it is Southern California.

They offer both top-rope climbing and bouldering, and both require an orientation--which I appreciated as a first-timer. I was surprised by how many people were bouldering, from novices to very experienced climbers. There's also a small gym with basic equipment. Overall, it was a fun, spontaneous activity for a random free day--kind of like bowling, but more physical and engaging. Definitely requires some strength and problem-solving. Would absolutely come back!

Our friend bought a few $25 Groupons for a 30 min the beginner's bouldering class and had invited…read moreus to try this place. My daughter and 2 of her friends wanted to try this place out. Well, the 30 min class turned out to be only a 5 min introduction to the rules of the rock climbing place and the only technique taught was how to fall. The instructor hastily dismissed the kids and said "Have fun". That was basically it. i thought the class would cover more bouldering techniques. I have just pulled up the class description (see pic). Had I seen this while we were there, I would've spoken to a manager about this. This is not right at all. The instructor only spent 5 min with our kids. There was only so much the girls could do on their own with that inadequate 5 minute "lesson". It could have been a fun playdate if they were given more instructions so they could've done more than climbing up 3-4 steps on just the 2 easy routes. 1 star and not likely to return. You did not deliver what was promised and wasted our time and 25 bucks each. Poor business practice. Thumbs down.

Went around 2PM on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. This gym is HUGE with lots of different bouldering and rock climbing routes. Some of them appear harder than they seem, but it was still fun. Everything was well maintained and very clean. Lots of space everywhere. Bathroom was very clean (no rock climbing shoes allowed in here). They also have washing /showering areas in and outside the bathrooms. Lots of different shoe sizes to choose from for rental during their regular months. (Free in October.) They are cleaned after each use. There is a bin for placing them after session is over. They also have treadmills and weight rooms which is a nice variety to have for the gym goers. Highly recommend and would go back if I'm in the area.

My kids were on the rec team here for over a year about two years ago, and after taking a break we…read morerecently joined again. Coming back made me realize how well this place is run. Routes are rotated regularly -- boulder routes change on Tuesdays and new rope routes go up on Thursdays and Fridays, so it always feels fresh and well maintained. They also host events and community gatherings from time to time, which gives the gym a really lively vibe. It doesn't feel like just another climbing gym -- it really feels like a community. Their yoga classes are also a little different from typical studios. Many of the instructors are climbers themselves, so the classes complement climbing and strength training really well. The yoga classes and fitness area are upstairs, and that section is for ages 14 and up. One of my favorite moments is after a shower, sitting in the dry sauna while the kids enjoy it too. Hearing them humming or chatting happily just makes me feel so happy -- moments like that remind me I'm really glad we come here. As a mom, I've visited other climbing gyms, but this place just has a different kind of energy. If you're looking for a climbing gym with a great community and well-maintained routes, I definitely recommend this place. Even though it's a bit farther for us, it's worth the drive.
