Rock Climb Fairfield

Great climbing, really nice instructors. Made us feel very at home, even though it was our first time. My 9 year old daughter loved it. We will be back!

Maybe just got a bad time. First time here. Forced into a waiver before anything was explained. Paid for a harness when we only wanted to boulder, no questions were ever asked and just alot of assumptions. On top of that our nephew wasn't allowed on the normal boulder wall with us. Which we found out after. Now he's been climbing with us before at other gyms. So basically we went to climb with our nephew. Couldn't. And paid for extra stuff and day passes which I'm sure we will get a refund on. At least no questions on the refund.

The lady that ran this place years ago is potentially a huge scam artist. I bought a harness here which they had me try on first then I tried to return it never having used it. She caused a hige commotion and acted like I was doing something wrong and said it was used bc there was a chalk mark or something. It was from when they had me try it on OR THEY SOLD me a USED harness! Also lost my chalk bag here then saw they had ONE on their shelf for sale of the same kind days later when they'd been out of that one prior ..scam artists. The girl is a huge jerk. How dare she. Also can be an UNSaFE environment- I had someone fall ON TOP of me while I was walking by bc they were bouldering where you should ONlY be belaying. Management paid nO attention.

Best of the best!! 🤩Love the staff, the community, and what the gym has to offer. Super inclusive, not intimidating, and very friendly! There’s so many route/climbing options (bouldering, top rope, lead), plenty of auto-belays (great if you come alone), aerial silks, and a gym and yoga studio as well. They also host different community events.I have been on several outdoor climbs with staff which have always been amazing!! I learned lead climbing with Matt and felt very safe and supported the whole time. He’s super knowledgable!Also met some friends for life through RCF. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. Thank you Matt and RCF staff!! 🤍🤍🤍 love y’all

My favorite rock climbing place! Also, I recently started to go for aerial silks there.

my kids happily spend hours here for a great workout and social life

Fun bouldering wall and lots of top rope routes. Could use more water fountains -- the only one in the facility was behind construction when I went. I enjoyed that you can actually top-out on the bouldering wall here.

Awesome place. Tons of bouldering problems, and plenty of top rope and lead climbing routes! Nice gym areas as well. Staff is excellent. Very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable.

Okay. Time for an honest review from someone who is not a parent and/or first time climber…This is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to leave a Google review.Really want to love this place. Have lived in many areas and belonged to many climbing gyms, but I’ve never experienced anything like this before.This place is a climbing wonderland if you are under the age of 18/21. Otherwise, if you work a 9-5 job, it is a glorified daycare center run by high school “coaches” who do not care what the kids they’re “watching” do. Super disappointing considering the potential.I understand catering to younger crowds and think it’s great to get them into climbing, but at least have some morning hours (doesn’t open until 10 am) so adults can climb without fear of crushing a child that’s running around unsupervised beneath them…Or ask your “coaches” to, ya know, actually watch and manage the kids rather than sit around bro-ing out with their friends while the kids have domain over the gym. I’ve never experienced such disregard for safety in any climbing gym/youth climbing group. Or just disregard for other climbers. It really feels like you’re unwelcome if you are not new to climbing or a child/family.I’ve lived in the area on and off for about 10 years, and it’s only gotten worse with time. There are a few older staff members who are fantastic, and I hate to give them a bad review. But the majority of the staff just don’t seem to care and parents are nonexistent.Route wise: They reset the boulders often (that’s what the kids climb, mostly). Top-rope much less frequently (saw stuff up from May at end of September). Lead wall is almost never reset—same routes on most areas for years, seemingly.Otherwise, they have a great lil climbing shop, semi-frequent demos from reputable brands, a kilter board, and a nice sized traditional workout area. If you can visit during off hours, you’ve found your gym. If not, be prepared…

I have been climbing here for a few months. I am extremely lucky to have RCF as my local gym. I’ve been to a few others across the east coast, however RCF stays on top for a few reasons.Whilst I cannot offer insight on the routes as I exclusively boulder, all of the problems set are incredible. Each week, the boulders in one out of the five Boulder locations are completely replaced with fresh, new climbs. Each area is unique with cave climbs to slab climbs given equal love by the fantastic setters. Oftentimes at bouldering gyms, I find that a lot of attention is focused on one form of climbing. Thankfully, RCF does not fall in to this trap.Secondly, the community at RCF is very welcoming and inclusive. It is not rare to celebrate after completing a new climb and be offered a fist bump by a complete stranger. Additionally, beta is usually only a question away with everyone at the gym being extremely helpful. This praise is not very exclusive to RCF and can be applied to the climbing community as a whole to be completely honest. But, what is exclusive to RCF is how welcoming it is to all age groups. I have seen people as young as 13 working on the same problems as someone 60+ years of age. It really is a great environment. I guess in this section I should also mention how helpful the staff have been; RCF really checks all the boxes for what makes the climbing community so great.Finally, RCF is a VERY high quality rock climbing gym. From the bathrooms to the walls themselves, the building feels clean. Sometimes, climbing gyms feel musty and dust-covered. This is most certainly not the case at Rock Climb Fairfield! On a separate note, an entire corner of the gym is sectioned off and filled with exercise machines, hang boards, weights, and pull-up bars. Sometimes I end up coming to the gym for the machines alone! Lastly, Rock Climb Fairfield has a Kilter Board. It’s just the cherry on the top for such a phenomenal gym.This is my first review I’ve ever left on google, but I just had to make sure I wrote one for RCF!
