Love the BRC!!! Setting is so great, vibes are chill, just a really great bunch of people to be around. ALW, hero to all the short girls, is my favorite setter! Thanks to cry in the dojo for the video quarantine classes, they really kept us going.

Knowledgeable staff, lots of routes with new ones each week. Very friendly and supportive atmosphere. It can be too crowded at times, but it’s an amazing place to climb

I have been climbing at BRC for a majority of my life, this has never been my home gym, however, I have always tried to visit as frequently as I can. I have always enjoyed the consistent quality of setting, the friendly employees, and most importantly the constant attempts to keep the gym up with the times. This gym was built a while ago, as far as climbing gyms go this gym is ancient, but the one thing that seems to keep them in business is the constant improvements. Small touches like the addition of a moon board before any other gyms in the Denver metro area had one, making a half decent speed wall on an untextured surface, or most recently the addition of solid bouldering pads to replace the drag mats. This gym deserves all yalls support, especially now during COVID, shower this gym with love.

It's a decent place to climb with a good fitness facilities, although the bouldering area wasn't very big. The bouldering area does not use the standard boulder route rating system, which I was a little disappointed by. Some of the holds seemed to need a little cleaning. I noticed there weren't very many 5.9 routes. I would have liked to see more.

An amazing Rock Gym and staff. Two huge rooms of climbing routes and a bouldering alcove always have great options to help me better my climbing. I love going a little later in the evening to find a more open gym but even when slightly more crowded everyone is respectfully with social distancing and space. Absolutely give this gym a try.

First time for any climbing activity with two kids, ages 7 & 11. Very courteous and friendly staff. Gave a tour, answered our questions and treated us with respect even though we were out of state newbies. Our kids had a fantastic first experience climbing and are ready to go back again. The facility is amazing - climbing for every level. Good service all around but especially impressed with Lori's customer service!
