My kids love the camps they offer. My daughter also did a private lesson here that was wonderful.

Come for the slabs, stay for the community. If Movement is the La Fitness in downtown LA, BRC is the greasy neighborhood plate gym where all pros sling iron around all day.

Gets pretty busy but everyone who works there is really nice and helpful. A good amount of auto belays for those solo climbers out there.

Looked really fun I went to pick up my daughter and went in and watched a while. Would definitely bring doing my workouts there if I lived there.

The setting is solid and I like that the gym is pretty chill overall. Almost all the bros even had their shirts on, even the ones who did 5.13a routes on lead!

Major issue with billing everyone should be aware. They just switched systems and I was overbilled by a month. I noticed it and called in and apparently IF YOU notice it and call in they will simply offer to mail you a check for the difference. I asked if that was all they were willing to do, Alissa the manager said yes. I said that seems like a poor effort and that I'd probably cancel and she said ok. Don't cry for me Argentina but that seems a bit lackadaisical customer service. Just be aware of the billing issue because they won't call you.

On my way through Colorado I decided to stop by one of the OG clubs in the US. It did not dissapoint! Stellar and creative route setting and super warm and friendly staff. Some gyms feel like a hookup scene but, thankfully, this is the opposite of that vibe. This is my Boulder gym from now on.

Love this gym...all good. Great routes and auto-belay considerations. Would even be better if they sent out emails to members when groups of young people or route setting or other activities in the gym might impact patrons.

I love this gym because most everyone is friendly and it still has a home-grown vibe. Routesetting is good but not amazing. Subjective, I know. Decent weight gym with all of my favorite climbing related exercise equipment. I'm a fan of the Moon board and campus board. If they ever expand then I would love to see an angle adjustable system wall. The Moonboard is tough for most people in my opinion. I enjoy creating problems on a general system board where I can focus on crimps or pinches etc.
