Love this place, really bummed that all the gyms are closed. Affordable membership, friendly staff, and auto belays are all pluses.

The route setting here is really varied and very well done. No guest passes for members is a huge bummer.

Such a fun place to go rock climbing or have a group event .Also has a decent weight lifting gym .I just wish they had a few more beginner stuff , but most of the people seemed fairly advanced so it fit their needs

I've held a membership at all of the gyms in Boulder over the years, and BRC is by far the best gym in terms of quality staff, great routes, and awesome amenities, especially for the price you pay.

Staff is cool, routes are fun even if you just boulder, tons of belay and autobelay options, weight room filled to the brim with equipment, showers, free coffee until 11?? I will save money by coming here to get my morning cup(s), and I'll get a workout in too! Already being cheaper than anything back home in NC with better amenities and perks makes it hard to beat, AND THEN they hit you with the fact that there's no sign up fee.

The BRC, in my opinion, is the best rock gym in Boulder. I've been coming here for 9 years now and I don't ever see myself switching climbing gyms. The staff is wonderful, the route setters are awesome and the vibe is awesome too.
