I only went here for one day to try out their bouldering. The gym is definitely more focused on top rope than bouldering, but the route setting was solid.

While living in Boulder I practically made this place home. The staff was extremely friendly and truly made me feel like I belonged. The renovation is really nice, check this place out.

BRC is a great place for topropes and lead. Chill environment and some strong climbers to learn from. They have high walls and multiple autobelays for the solo day.Pretty small bouldering area but there are some thoughtful routes in there.

I highly recommend this place for people of all skill groups. I am a beginner myself but I saw people clearly able to climb 5.11's or higher on these walls. Good price too! This place had a ton of auto-belays for newbies like myself and my date so don't fret!

Great place. Friendly Staff. Clean facility. Has auto belay and a good bouldering section if you are going solo. Chill setting. Looking to spray more than climb, you might like it better elsewhere

What more do you need in a climbing gym? Amazing route setting, a laid-back, friendly vibe, free A.M. coffee and a great weight room + lifting platform. Easily the best gym in the Front Range. Go to the BRC if your goal is to have fun and climb. Go to Movement if your goal is to take your shirt off and impress people.

The name has changed a time or two over the years. But the club is still spectacular. Updated well kept facility with more routes then you can imagine. Great auto-belay system makes it a place you can climb when you partner has a case of the Friday night flu...

A fantastic indoor gym with a wide variety of lead and top rope walls along with bouldering of all shapes and sizes as well.The classes are also worth attending with experienced coaches like Chris Wall and Brent who will make sure you leave fitter than when you walked in.Excellent community amongst the climbers and great service from the staff.
