G1 Climbing + Fitness

Killer, big, bright, •tall• modern gym in striking distance of many population and climbing centers on the Front Range, with an open floorplan and friendly vibe.For me, the main attraction was the route climbing: This feels like the tallest wall I've been on in a gym, and it has enough angle changes to keep the climbing feeling fresh and not monotonous, helped also by the varied, thoughtful setting. Clearly they have a very experienced setting crew putting up the routes, as the climbs have amazing flow but also integrate shake-out and resting points, much like real rock. (Boy, do I hate power-endurance sprints where you can barely let go to clip or where the clips are the cruxes—there was none of that BS at G1).There looked to be a clean, modern weight room, the bathrooms/locker rooms were clean and spacious, and there's lots of novice terrain too if you're teaching newer climbers.The upstairs area has a Tension Board and Kilter Board (sweet!) as well as a hangboard/campus board tower and a long bouldering wall, and some tables and chairs for hanging out. The bouldering was fun and varied, up notably tall walls (the padded floor was good and stiff and buoyant for long falls) with some interesting slab/parkour setting on the lower-angle terrain, and creative problems. I do think the harder (V7-on-up) problems would benefit from having more consistent movement and more footholds. At 5'6", I occasionally found myself bouted on what felt like morpho or reachy moves where a simple jib or two would have changed a problem from "impossible" to "hard but fun." But then again, I'm old and weak...Great gym, killer experience, highly recommend!

Even if it wasn’t run by a great staff and helmed by CO climbing community stalwart and all-around great guy Jason Haas (Surprise! It is!) it would STILL have the tallest gym walls in America that make other gyms feel like the woody you tried to build in your garage that one Summer. They’ve done a phenomenal job of keeping a safe and fun facility during the pandemic and I applaud the G1 family for navigating unprecedented times with the utmost professionalism and grace. If you are in CO and enjoy world-class indoor climbing with an inclusive community of climbers of all ages and skill sets, come to G1.

Went once but won’t go back. It didn’t feel like a very welcoming community even though I went after work on a weeknight when it was busy. They even have a wristband system to signify you’re looking for a partner to belay and no one seemed interested in approaching me or being approached. There were probably 60% kids, 30% 40+ and 10% 20s/30s however they weren’t very social like I typically expect a gym to be. The bouldering area was pretty small and confined with not much of a chilling area. Would’ve loved to top rope but they don’t have auto belays so that’s a huge negative in my mind.

An amazing climbing gym in an easy to access location. Had a great time climbing at G1. Came down from Fort Collins for the day to check things out. The staff was super friendly and helpful, shout out to Nash. Quick and easy lead test. The sets are solid and there is plenty of variety and climbing between ropes, boulders, and system boards. We were only on the ropes and loved everything we tried. The workout area looks killer, with plenty of equipment to keep #swole. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I've been going to G1 for the past year and I love the place. The facility is great, it's very new and has everything you want in a climbing gym. Great route setting, big lead walls, good variety of bouldering walls, great staff, easy to get to, and right next to a brewery for a cold one after climbing.

Great gym with a local feel. Opened by a Colorado local who’s additions to the climbing community are many more than this gym. This place is clean with wonderfully friendly staff. It’s 5.fun on almost every route you’ll touch. The walls are the tallest you’ll find around. The coaches are knowledgeable and eager to meet your training needs. Not to mention the great yoga that comes with your membership.I approve.

Fantastic climbing gym! Thoughtful routes for every skill level. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good mix of bouldering, climbing, campus boards, work out space, yoga and a dedicated physical therapist.The locker rooms were clean and I appreciated the "no climbing shoes in the bathrooms" policy.The location is great as it's next door to a really good brewery for after climbing beers.If you're lucky enough to run into the owner, Jason Haas, be sure to tell him thanks for all the work he did on the numerous guidebooks published by Fixed Pin. And especially tell him thanks for hanging in there and creating such an amazing climbing gym!

This climbing gym is great for beginners and experts all around. Be prepared though as they do test you on climbing/belay knowledge before you can get on the walls. No auto belay here. The bouldering upstairs is awesome and they also have yoga and a workout room! Staff is very knowledgeable and always helpful. If you're new to the sport I'd recommend taking the intro to climbing class. It's 2 hours and they teach you everything you need to know to safely get started 😊

This place is awesome! The setting is well varied and we were psyched to see that there are female setters. The walls seem taller than the other gyms in the area, and I'm pumped to have it so close. The staff are really busy with the soft opening today, but they got us through quickly and were really nice. ⚡💥🔥 …

Clean. Brand new holds. Upbeat staff. Tons of lesson and training options.
