Boulder Rock Club

Boulder's premier climbing gym. The Boulder Rock Club is by far my favorite place to train hands down(or up, I suppose). From their many many square feet of climbing, their well rounded fitness room, campus/hang board options, to their recovery room on the 3rd floor, you can get yourself fit in this gym. I've been going to the BRC for almost 6 years now and I must say, like a vintage wine, it just gets better with age. Over the years I've seen many of the same staff members which means people like being there, and it shows. From the route setters, to coaches, and the awesome people at the front desk they all share a love for climbing and sharing their experience on the walls. The community is strong here, people down to belay, making friends, playing, laughter, I really love this gym. Thank you BRC for making this such a fun destination in Boulder, CO.

I had an excellent time! There are many routes to choose from and it is a great place for me to work on and progress my climbing.

Love this place- great routes and enough auto belays to stop by and climb on your own for a bit, but not too many to get in the way when climbing with a partner. The gym is nice and has all the equipment you’d need, and they have a nice schedule of group classes (which I can’t attest to the quality of because I’ve never attended any,) and community events.I can see how some may find there aren’t enough low level routes, but I kind of prefer that.

Could always be better, but this place has autobelays which are great when you need a quick climb without a buddy.

Nice environment, doesn't stink like some, they're always changing up and adding new routes keeping things interesting

Meh. OKish for climbing but absolutely terrible for bouldering. Also pretty small, easily gets crowded.Middle of the road climbing gym, not much to be excited about.

The workout is intense more than I'd ever do on my own. and very effective. The staff is so friendly and welcoming.

Pros: quality route setting, new routes are set several times a week.Cons: Cramped, Less square footage and shorter walls than the competition. Poor ventilation: cold at the bottom and hot at the top.

They managed to lose my waiver, then their iPad crashed trying to fill out a new waiver. They wanted us to wait 20 min to get cleared to belay, but when we checked back after 20 they had forgotten about us and it was going to be another 30min. Three quarters of the way through our free hour we still weren't allowed near a rope. Like the chill atmosphere, but this seems more of a flaff-fest
