Great atmosphere for indoor rock climbing! The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Everyone was very supportive, making it a fun and enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

For a beginner, I think this gym is pretty solid with their VB to V2s. Parking can get pretty tough tho, but there's decent turnover so if you wait a few minutes, there should be people coming out. At 7-8ish pm even on a weekday it can get packed. Friendly staff and a well kept gym. read more

Always a fun time here when I tag along with my climber boyfriend. I can only speak for top rope climbing for now as I'm still learning but the routes are always super fun and challenging. They also have they also have full amenities here there are yoga rooms, weights/cardio area, showers, towels, lockers, sauna and they're always fully stocked on toiletries. The staff is always available for questions and they keep it pretty clean as far as gyms go. They also have tables with charging outlets which is nice! read more

The Post Climbing - Rope comp day! - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

While this place has a pretty decently sized rope area, the bouldering area feels so bland to me. The wall anatomy just feels so.... plain. If comparison to say LAB, that has so many interesting aspects to their walls. I do like that the parking is decently sized, I've rarely seen it completely full, though I've only been here a handful of times. My main gym is Hangar18 Arcadia, so most gym locations feel quite sizable to me and I love that they have shower and sauna here. I'm old and broken so anytime I have access to a sauna I'll take it! Settings feels pretty soft here as with most Touchstone gyms. Staff seems nicer here vs what I've come across at LAB. read more

The Post, my Batcave, my sanctuary, my "I'm skipping therapy and climbing instead" solution. I've been coming here for years. Brought my daughter, my Meetup crew (sometimes 20+ people), and even a few dates. If they ever start charging me rent, I'm gonna need a corner with a mini fridge. I host Meetups here pretty often. If you see a guy in a hat with a climber's logo on it wrangling a bunch of climbers and giving tips between burns, that's probably me. I've also been bringing my daughter here once a week--it's our thing. She lives full-time with her mom, so this is our time to hang, connect, and do something real together. No screens, no distractions. Just the two of us, climbing, laughing, challenging ourselves. Honestly, it's been one of the best ways to keep that father-daughter bond strong. Watching her progress on the wall is way better than any parenting book I've ever read. Oh and... Big shoutout to Govan (hope I'm spelling that right) for teaching my daughter how to belay. Calm, knowledgeable, and the kind of person you want holding the other end of the rope. Literally and metaphorically! Vibes? Very cool, very chill. The music's usually upbeat. Some indie, some pop, some "ok wait, who added this banger to the playlist?" moments. Never feels dead or sterile like some of those big-box climbing gyms. Everyone here's either projecting, belaying, or just vibing with their shoes half on, half off, staring into space like they just saw god on a crux move. Routes stay fresh, and for my fellow nerds out there... They post new sets on Kaya. If you're the type who likes to obsess over when new boulders/routes drop, track your sends, or just get that little dopamine hit when Kaya notifies you about a new route... they got you. I don't check it every day, but I know plenty of climbers who do. It's a solid way to stay motivated and keep things feeling new. Place is clean. Like, consistently clean. The holds get rotated regularly, the mats aren't sketchy, and the bathrooms? Yo, I don't go in the women's room, obviously, but I've heard more than one woman say, "The bathrooms here are actually NICE." If you know gym life, you know that's high praise. Parking? Bit of a game sometimes. Lot fills up, especially evenings. I usually just park on the street and haven't had any issues. Some friends wait it out in the lot and eventually score a spot. Oh, and yeah, I've seen some reviewers mention unsupervised kids running around. I haven't experienced that myself, but hey, your mileage may vary. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Whether you're climbing solo, wrangling a Meetup group, bonding with your kid, or trying to impress someone on a date... The Post delivers! It's welcoming, well-run, and feels like home (if home had 40-foot walls and smelled like chalk and effort). read more

Being from Orange County, I used to always talk up The Post as a fun gym to check out. Friendly staff, halfway-decent parking, gym is kept cold even on hot summer days, and sick routes with a good variety between bouldering and top roping -- it really was one of my faves to visit! ...So you can imagine my disappointment at the recent experience we had. With the start of summer vacation, naturally, we saw a lot of families. What wasn't cool was seeing parents so caught up yapping with each other that they weren't keeping a close eye on their kids, including keeping them safe while other climbers were on the wall either above them or on intersecting routes. When sharing that frustration with one of the staffers, they affirmed that everyone should be aware of their surroundings and share the wall, but there was no effort to remind others or enforce that safety. This was a complete difference in how I've observed Pacific Pipe (another Touchstone gym) handle a similar situation. While we did have an amazing and friendly staffer that assisted us with our day passes, it still sucked to see that the gym was not really aligned in keeping the gym a safe and inclusive space for everyone. I fail to see the value in spending $30 for a day pass when you either: 1) have to supervise other people's kids so you don't hurt them, or 2) just skip out on a portion of the gym where other customers' kids are running around unsupervised. read more

Great gym, clean and nice variety - and both bouldering as well as top rope climbing.

We love coming here! Lots of top roping for all levels. My husband and I usually come here on days we are both available and the kids are at school, just to get a change of scenery for a few hours :) This location was originally a post office hub, converted into a climbing gym. As with many other Touchstone locations, another great use of unused space! Member only hours 9-10am on weekends! So far this is the only gym I have seen with speed climbing equipment. I haven't seen anyone use it though! Not sure if they have speed climbing clinics but they absolutely consider it if they don't. I have seen staff walking around checking our belay cards. It's not clear that they are staff though, so I think that's where the confusion is with the place seeming like it's understaffed. They always have people staffed at the front desk and they have been helpful. All in all, this is a great place to come with plenty of parking on site and along Fair Oaks Ave and near the park. We can't have enough of this place. read more

I enjoyed the top roping here and thought the routes were pretty chill for casual climbers. That being said, I did have a somewhat unpleasant experience with one of the staff members at this Touchstone location. When I asked to borrow a harness, the person behind the front counter (young Asian man with slicked back hair) was particularly rude. I was the only one at the desk and was politely trying to get his attention, he absolutely knew I was there, but continued to ignore me and stare at either his phone or the computer screen. After waiting a couple of minutes without being acknowledge, I said "excuse me, could I please borrow a harness?" He looked up, didn't say a word, mean mugged me for a second, then handed me a harness, and immediately went back to whatever he was doing before. The entire interaction left a bad taste in my mouth and felt uncalled for. I can understand someone potentially having a bad day or whatever, but you're in a customer service role, so the least you can do is be polite and courteous and make your customers feel welcome. Some people seriously need an attitude check or need to go back to elementary school to learn basic manners. If you can't handle the bare minimum, then you shouldn't be working here. One other point I'd like to make is that there are a lot of little kids running around this gym, and some of who were dangerously interfering with other climbers on the wall. I think the staff could do a better job enforcing stricter rules for parents supervising their kids or actively make sure kids under a certain age stay out of areas that could be dangerous for them or the people climbing. Overall, the rest of the interactions I had with the staff here were pleasant enough, but I think this place could be a bit more selective with their hiring process and perhaps provide their staff with some additional training on how to treat their customers as well as enforce safety protocols for young children. read more

Great experience guys. Aside from a great gym and a good vibe, Love the staff! Thanks Jeff Daniel & Jabari! read more

The Post Climbing - Boulderin! - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

Visited this gym for the first time today, and it has some interesting layout choices. It had space for both boulderin and rope; the walltopia walls were great. The only thing is that on a warm day: 91F, the rope area gets very warm and humid, and air circulation is not great at this place. Otherwise, the sets were nice, and staff service was okay. read more

The Post Climbing - Rope wall on the bottom floor - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great gym, lots of climbers and very clean plus modern. Bouldering, top roping, lead, and a gym to work out. OOther commenters were right in that the setting was on the softer side. A 5.10A top roping would maybe feel like a 5.7 or 5.8 at a different gym. Overall, great gym. read more

The Post Climbing - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

I come to The Post with friends whenever I'm in town, and I prefer the problems here compared to those at my Bouldering Project gym. The BP gym I go to has even softer grading than here, so this place does feel like the routes are more challenging. All areas of the gym (including the restrooms!) are very clean and well-kept, free from the smell of sweat that is common in a lot of other gyms. The Post has walls for both rope climbing and bouldering, and a few tables for working. The staff are always friendly too! On the downside, the price for a day pass is pretty steep ($30 at time of writing), not even including rental shoes or chalk if you need them. I always come with a member to get $10 off the day pass, but even the discounted rate here is the same as full-price in other gyms. The mats are also pretty hard, so you have to be careful if you take a fall. Also, the last few times I've been here the A/C wasn't on, so the entire gym felt stuffy. At peak hours in the afternoon/evening, the bouldering areas can be crowded as well, so sometimes it's difficult to get time with a particular problem. I've been climbing for about a year so most of these issues (besides the price) aren't too significant; however these factors may be less pleasant to someone new to climbing. Parking is decent, if you come before peak hours you can definitely get a spot! If not, there's always street parking a block down. read more

The Post Climbing - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

Touchstone climbing (which is the company that owns The Post and other climbing locations) is the perfect example of the corportization of the climbing gym. Some of the smaller independent gyms are less polished, less focused on amenities, and have more of a community feel than the touchstone gyms I've been to. The trademarks of the touchstone gym are bright white lighting and highlighter color accented walls with neon holds. All very clean with a heavy emphasis on amenities such as electronic locks for lockers, tons of yoga and hit classes, and high prices. Parking is always terrible, either no dedicated parking or lots laughably too small for the number of people in the gym. For example, I have a very hard time finding parking in the lot at The Post, even when I go at 8:30pm. On top of that, the gym is just always busy. Again, even at 8:30 there's just tons and tons of people so finding a spot to sit in the bouldering are can be difficult some times. Prices at all the touchstone gyms are usually very high, include an initiation, and the guest pass policy is minimal. Despite all the negatives, touchstone is at least super consistent across gyms. It's going to be clean, it's going to be big, there's going to be lockers, but just get ready for bad parking, super packed gyms, and high prices. Put another way, the floor at touchstone is going to be much higher compared to the other gyms, but so is the ceiling. read more

Honestly, the gym was fine, it just wasn't my vibe. I usually climb for fun and the routes weren't that fun/creative. I'm used to climbing at the bouldering projects in austin and momentum in houston and this gym def ranks last out of the three. It seems like the holds just get smaller when the grades increase. The routes are very vertical, rather than utilizing wall space left and right. The downs are spaced too far from some routes in my opinion. I really like volumes and this gym had none. I get they're expensive though. I'm not from LA, so I would definitely try a different gym before I returned back to this one. Though I didn't like this gym, they had lots of training boards and the facilities were nice and clean. Good amount of cubby storage for belongings. read more

The Post Climbing - Rock Climbing Near Me - Pasadena, California

The Post Climbing is a great spot! The workers at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit.

Second time at this touchstone location, and I'm still impressed with the facility. They have a gym upstairs, bouldering on the main floor, and top rope a level down. I was super stoked to see a partner climb bouldering route! And their top rope section is fire! The routes go super high, so it's a great stamina workout. They also have lead options if that's more your jam. My friends and I needed to get our belay cards, and the process was fast and efficient (you don't need to take the class if you're already experienced - you can just opt to test). In terms of size, less bouldering options than LA Boulders, but comparable size overall because of the added top rope. They use KAYA if you're on that climbing platform. Parking was easy in the lot, and it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded. The staff here is super nice and helpful. I will probably be back soon~ read more

The gym is very bright, clean, and a decent size but the staff here is completely rude and unfriendly. They act as though they don't need your business to keep the doors open. The vibe at this gym is very non-inclusive it's definitely a place where elite climbers go to be around strictly other elite climbers. It's not a place where someone inexperienced would feel welcomed or comfortable practicing or learning the craft. I took my child here once because he wanted to get into climbing, nobody could give me any information and one of the climbers at the gym actually grabbed my child and yelled at them because they were climbing in the "wrong way" - nobody was around us and he wasn't interfering with anyone else's course. My kid is now having a great time at Stronghhold downtown where the staff is absolutely incredible, welcoming, and inclusive. read more

TL/DR version: I think The Post knows exactly what crowd (more casual gym-goers) they are catering to, which is absolutely fine. It's also fair to point out that the grades are soft, a good amount of the harder boulder problems cater to comp styles, the lead routes are a bit, shall we say, simple (ladder-ish was an adjective an experienced trad climbing friend used), and adequate staffing seems like an afterthought. So much potential at this gym, so let's start with the positives... - tons of space and equipment, and even during peak hours, haven't had to really wait inordinate amounts of time for a route/boulder problem/gym equipment - amenities (lockers/showers/sauna) are well-kept - holds are clean, placement is solid (IE no spinners) - good variety in terms of wall angles and features - 3 boulder training boards (moon board, and tension/kilter style), and I've never seen anyone else using these, or the fingerboards (demographic related? A distinct possibility) But there are drawbacks. - understaffed (literally have seen only two people working at peak hours, meaning...a 50/1 customer to staff ratio? 60 to 1?) Not only does it mean you have to book a lead test in advance, there are some potential safety issues. This is not my guesswork, this is what employees at the front desk have said. I've belonged to multiple gyms, most recently in Portland, and the need to book ahead for a lead test is both highly inconvenient, and shows a lack of concern for member experience. Just staff adequately, guys. - route setting is a little vanilla. Not a ton of variety in hold textures or types, until you get into the 12 range on lead/TR. - the full embrace of vanity grading may be great for beginners, but does little to approximate an outdoor experience. - auto-belays are only for the speed wall? There's nowhere for a solo climber to come in and get in some laps before or after work? read more

I absolutely love this place! It is so much closer to home for me then the other climbing gyms and in my opinion it is better. The staff is super friendly, there are so many different bouldering areas with a nice variety of climbs. I do mostly v1 and v0 and I love that there are so many different routes for me to take. The rope climbing looks awesome, I haven't tried it out yet. Totally recommend, it is also fun for the whole family. I also love the sauna read more

As a novice climber... I love this place. Big space, clean, lots of climbs, bathrooms are awesome and the front staff is welcoming and friendly. It's reasonably priced and any climber whether novice or advanced can climb here. There's a nice gym upstairs as well. The parking is easy and not too crowded yet. But once people find out ... who knows. I climb V0-3. My son climbs V6-10. He loves it. So take a chance. This place is fun's fun friendly. read more

Amazing facility!! So far we love the amenities too like dry sauna, showers etc! It was very clean the couple times we visited. Can't wait to try out the other classes! I do wish the staff had given us a proper tour, explaining all the membership options for when we were done with ICC! We got there so early and was hoping for a tour. We didn't know alot of things until our 2nd visit. Honestly the staff has to be retrained with how to upsell memberships especially to new climbers! We already love the gym so why did anyone not pitch us for a membership sale?? We even had to ask about other classes, upcoming schedule, membership cost etc! I had a quick call earlier this week to ask about their group classes and the person who answered was pretty uninterested in even helping me out. I just asked about how booking/attending to classes work, ideal time to show up accdg to their average class size for the yoga/strength classes as well as usage of amenities. I was just curious and want to be there on time but he wasn't very helpful and sounded annoyed. So much potential to this gym and would love for this to keep growing. Please focus on expanding the clientele by flagging new climbers when they arrive/before they leave. read more

The Post Climbing gym has so much potential. I've visited this place a couple of times during the open house viewing days, and bouldered here once (have yet to hit the ropes here.) TL;DR - I don't LOVE The Post Climbing because of a lack of variety, but I really do think that they have potential to become a great gym! In my opinion, there are some pros for this gym! 1) The rope area looks larger and higher than Cliffs of Id (or have my eyes deceived me?) 2) The workout area looks pretty spacious (at least this is what it looks like when we're near the top of some climbs. 3) I also love that they have some unique holds that I've either rarely, or have never seen at LA Boulders, or Hollywood Boulders (my main gyms.) 4) Another thing I really liked about this gym was that there's no top-out area. I'm one of those who cannot stand topping out during a warm-up, but don't mind it AS much during projects. And if I NEVER have to top-out, that's the best. 5) Another cool thing about this gym is that they have moon boards! Will I ever be strong enough to use it? Probably not. But for all my other climbing friends, there are 2 boards here just for you! 6) Of course, I can't forget that there are still a lot of climbs for people of all ages and climbing experience levels! 7) And finally the parking. If you've ever been to Hollywood Boulders or LA Boulders, you KNOW the struggle of finding parking. There is a really large lot, and PLENTY of street parking, so you'll never have to worry about parking here. That all being said there are also quite a few cons in my opinion. 1) The boulder space is kind of small compared to LA Boulders, Hollywood Boulders, and Cliffs of Id. I haven't been to Verdigo Boulders for a while, but from what I remember, size is comparable to Verdigo. 2) I've been very spoiled by the premium grippy walls at LAB, HoBo, and Cliffs, so the slippery walls (which is probably what MOST climbing gyms around the world are like) causes a little anxiety for your girl. 3) Probably because it's so new, the current routes feel like they're not being reset (which I guess is great if you're projecting something for months.) We went in early October 2022, and found routs from 2021? Probably from first open house days. I know that they recently reset one of the large walls, so thank you, setters! 4) I think there are maybe 2 unique, protruding, angled walls, while the rest of the gym seem almost slab like. No, it's not slab all around the gym, but the walls are all very similar, with very little variety. So if you're all about the UFO, the 45, or the Pyramid (these are walls at LAB or HoBo), then you have maybe 2-3 small areas to climb at. The rest are great for Slab lovers (like yours truly). read more

One of my favorite climbing gyms in the area! Everyone is also so friendly over here! Love the climbing community

I love this place. The walls change every couple of weeks so it always keeps you on your toes, motivating you to come back. The facilities are great with indoor gym equipment and weights. This place is huge and includes bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing. The bathrooms are very clean with a lot lockers and shower stalls. They have a sauna as well. read more

Came here for the first time with a friend who has membership. I enjoyed my experience, and the front desk person was super helpful. I didn't have climbing shoes, but they have rentals so you can easily rent a pair. There's plenty of wall space and levels for each person to try out. They also have top roping which I enjoyed the most. Upstairs, there's a gym/warm up/cool down area with yoga mats. I'm a novice climber so I stayed with the V1 and V2 walls and they were super fun to climb haha. There's limited parking space, so come early. The facility is clean, including the bathrooms. I'd definitely come back again with friends. read more

Better than hangar 18 for sure. Way more routes and options and they just installed a brand new gym with all new equipment. Hangar is like Walmart and this is like Target. A little more expensive but could be worth depending on your location and goals. Rental shoes suck though. read more

Honestly my favorite climbing gym Ive been to in the LA area. As a reference I have been to Cliffs of Id and Verdigo Boulders as well. I appreciate that there are plenty of beginner bouldering routes - so many places Im stuck to only 4-5 routes since I am a V1 and V0 climber. Everyone Ive met here is friendly and helpful, both staff and other climbers. I have not done top rope here but it looks like a decent enough space. Overall, I like it because the people are the most approachable and there is a good variety of routes at all levels. read more

Great staff and facility. My daughter had a blast and we will definitely be back soon.

The Post is now my home gym and it's been fun watching its transformation. They opened with only bouldering but now you can top rope (after passing the test). Upstairs you'll find a large open area with new workout equipment and a closed room for yoga classes. At any hour you'll find climbing enthusiasts, some of whom will be your cheerleaders if you're braving a new challenge. They recently changed many of the problems so I'm excited to send the next one. read more

1 star because some of the walls and soft route setting aren't half bad...and there's no 0 option. The touchstone gym scene as a whole in Los Angeles sucks. It's ultra-corporate and betrays anything remotely considered to be authentic climbing culture even for an indoor scene. The gym seems to be run by an ideological safetyism/gender cult that pastes their propaganda with such coverage a blind person couldn't miss it. I assume this is in the name of inclusivity, which isn't necessary in the climbing scene (which has embodied these values for decades) or coastal California for that matter. It's akin to hypothetical signs in rural Texas reading "cowboys welcome here". Absolutely unnecessary and somewhat off-putting for those of us that are there to simply climb and don't fit the anointed profiles. The staff members tend to be stiff, awkward and often unavailable, with a sizable percentage focused on flexing their authority no matter the circumstance. I was told once that I may very well be banned for asking if they had a rope cutter! Just a simple question prompted a threat of banishment to a paying customer. Needless to say, the culture there could benefit from a major overhaul. I feel sorry for people new to climbing whose first experiences are at a Touchstone gym. In addition, the prices increase annually if not more often while they offer no actual improvements to the gyms or options for tiered membership (eg, a single gym membership or ability to opt out of the classes offered). $99/month at the time of this review. The cross-training facilities are scant at best. Broken equipment will remain broken. The hours are criminally limited in an effort to keep the entitled staff they have. 6pm closure on weekends and 10pm during the week in a city where most 9-5 folks have incredibly time consuming commutes. So as the prices climb, the hours often dwindle. In comparison, my regular gym membership price hasn't moved in 15 years and includes personal training, 24 hour access, equipment upgrades, and new locations open regularly. The only reason this place continues to exist is because they don't have any real competition. That said, there is the Stronghold. I've cancelled my Touchstone membership and moved over. Still have to deal with some cult propaganda, but the employees are chill and the vibe is much closer to authentic. Bye Touchstone... read more

This is such a great gym! I loved the climbing courses here and I wish I could do the top roping here! Unfortunately, didn't have the money to spend more. The workers and community is great here and I would love to visit here again. read more

Went to do some bouldering. Without a membership it is 30 dollars for a day pass, and a few extra to rent shoes. But, the climbing was great, and the facility is pretty impressive. I'm not a climber, so I don't k ow how it rates for people who do it regularly, but it looked like it had options for all skill levels. I definitely had a great time. read more

The route setting was pretty solid in the bouldering section. Pretty in line with what I have encountered at other Touchstone gyms. Unfortunately, I cannot attest to the route setting in the top rope section. I usually climb with my friends at Cliffs, but had some other friends coming into town and decided to try someplace new. We got to the gym at opening to try to beat the crowd, and the gym was fairly empty. When my two out of town friends asked if they could take a belay test so we could all top rope, they were told that the gym was too busy at the moment and they could not. The gym only continued to get busier and by the time they got their names onto the testing queue, we had already been bouldering for several hours. The staff was generally rude and unfriendly, and seemed annoyed that we had asked to take the belay test, and seemed really bothered that we asked if our friends (who have a Mesa Ridge belay card) could climb but not belay while they waited for the opportunity to test (which again, took hours). 2 stars for pretty good bouldering, but otherwise this was a pretty bad experience. Understaffed, rude, not offering an ability for those from other gyms to access roped climbing. I'll stick to Cliffs where the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Good place, clean gym, cool people. I go here like once a week and they do a good job letting everyone feel welcome and updating the routes.

Just like the other Touchstone Gyms, The Post is clean, and has a variety of bouldering routes. The bouldering section is smaller than LA Boulders and Cliffs of Id, but definitely better than the other options in the 626 area (Hangar 18 Arcadia). It also has a kilter board so you can set your own routes. It was pretty busy when we got there on a Sunday morning. Some people brought their young kids, but it did not feel like the kids were out of control and people were all very respectful of each others' space. We also brought our toddler and were happy to know they offer a wide variety of rental shoes, even some that fit really young kids (kids size 11). There is also a top rope area which was pretty empty, so we might check it out next time. read more

The staff seemed utterly uninterested in getting people to become members. My husband and I came in to inquire about memberships and class schedule. Front desk person kept on saying, everything is online. When I asked again, he said "do you have a phone?" And "save trees". Wow. I've never been to a gym with such lack of interest in potential members. read more

I have a Touchstone membership and Post is my home gym. I decided to use my guest pass and bring my friend who has never been before. After my friend filled out her waiver, we both walked over to one of the employees so she could rent some shoes. He charged $4 for rentals. I then brought up to him that I had come a couple weeks prior where my other friend used her guest pass for me because I wanted to check out the gym before buying my membership. I was not charged for renting shoes that day. I asked him why I wasn't charged then, but yet she's being charged now. He says and I quote "we have the liberty to choose." He then goes on to tell us that the employees there basically get to choose if they want to charge for rental shoes or not. Isn't that somewhat discriminatory? Picking and choosing who they want to charge and not charge? My friend didn't mind paying $4, but it was a very unwelcoming experience for her. The employee's demeanor in which he was speaking to us was very unwelcoming and belittling. It seemed as though he was talking down to us as if we were ignorant. I'm not mad about the $4, but the fact that he said they have the liberty to choose if they want to charge the customer or not was extremely rude. I probably won't be returning to Post for a while because I'd rather go to the other locations where the staff seems much more welcoming and kind. read more

My first experience at a touchstone. I have been to dozens of climbing gyms across the country and never had such an unpleasant experience. The staff were so unresponsive and seemed like they hated their jobs. When I finished filling out my waiver I looked up and both staff were gone. Took minutes to come back, they failed to mention that half the gym was under construction which conveniently started minutes after I started my session. The day fee was $30 which seemed steep for a standard climbing gym, let alone one that was half available. There is no AC and was so hot and sweaty. The setting was okay but very straightforward and one dimensional. Only hard climbs were in the cave, and nothing over a v3 on their only slab wall. The gym has a lot of potential but definitely wait until it is finished. read more
