The Spot Bouldering Gym

Training area upstairs with equipment and many hang boards. Routes go by dot system. Helpful staff and clean facility. Went later at night when it was not so busy, not too sure about other hours of the day.

An extremely friendly environment for climbing. I've been coming for over 2 years and it's my favorite spot in Boulder for bouldering. Kid friendly too.

Exciting place to be on Friday nights. With the house music, it is like 'the club' for climbers. There is even a bar in house. I don't consider myself a boulderer, but I still love this place.

Personally I feel as if they have the best route setters in boulder. I mainly climb outside and the only reason i go to the gym is to get stronger, the spot is definitely the spot to do so!

Problems here were very accesible, everything felt fairly graded that my brother and I got into. This really is just a bouldering gym though, very small and limited top roping section. They have Avery beer on tap!

The current 4.8 rating seems inflated. It's a small gym lacking variety: only overhangs and a few vertical routes. No positive routes, no volumes, no balance routes.The campus and fitness section is outright poor, even basics like a decent pull-up bar are missing.Non-standard grading system and tape-coded routes instead of colour-coded holds.Front desk was staffed with three people, all of them ignoring us for minutes.

Caution to those with respiratory issues! This is not the gym for you. When I checked out this gym a few nights ago, I could actually see the haze of dust in the air, and by next morning I was sucking on my inhaler. Aside from the chalk, the place is unfortunately just grimy.Apart from cleanliness and air quality issues, it is fine. There are a ton of problems, some better marked than others. Like many bouldering gyms, more of their space is dedicated to overhang and problems V4 and higher. There are fewer options for V1-V3 or for vertical or slab problems, though there's still enough to keep one busy. Setting in the V1-V3 range wasn't particularly imaginative, but I did find a few interesting challenges. A lot of the V4 and up problems looked really fun.

If you're into bouldering, this is the place to be. Great gym with fun events and a good atmosphere. Their base walls are constructed in a natural featured rock style that I much prefer to the flat polygons you see on so many modern walls.

One of my favorite places in Boulder. I joined this gym a few years ago not knowing how to climb at all and am still going regularly. They have gained pads up to your knees that can absorb any fall and new routes each week.

The Spot is a great gym. The staff are friendly and they change the routes often enough to keep things interesting. It is mainly a bouldering gym but there is a wall with some auto-belay systems, although I've never seen anyone use them. They have a gym upstairs with a few machines, some free weights, and a squat rack. They also have classes and exercises that are free for members.
