Denver Bouldering Club Central

It’s a great spot for bouldering! Nice staff and a really dialed in set up. Has everything you really need to train too.

I joined after only bouldering a few times before and it has been an awesome place to get into it. Great overall vibes, good variety of routes, and they rotate things regularly to keep it interesting. The 24/7 membership is great for being able to drop in anytime. I canceled my membership only because I'll be traveling and they were very responsive and helpful. I fully plan to be back in the future.

The staff were absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful. The routes were designed well, with difficulty levels for all levels of climbers. Would recommend you go!

DBC is such a welcoming, kind, and inclusive community. I have had a wonderful experience climbing here. The staff is always supportive, accommodating, and helpful. #ClimbLocal

Great gym. Good challenges and nice folks in the community. Would recommend.

The start here is great and super friendly. The problems get updated regularly, and there's a good diversity to them.

DBC is my favorite gym! I was a member for almost 7 years. I recently left the gym as we moved out of state. I always appreciated that the gym is locally owned and has an amazing community feel. The staff and the route setting are fantastic! I always appreciate that they support small business in CO and local community outreach programs. They put on a charity event every year called Heart and Soul which is so much fun to participate in! The best part is any proceeds raised go to support cancer research!!! Thank you DBC for all the memories!!! I'll for sure be back to climb in your gyms anytime I'm in Denver!!!

Community was good but the front desk guy yelled at one of those community members tonight and made her cry. Not sure what was going on but there’s no situation where that’s cool on his part.

I moved from Boulder to Denver recently and I wanted to find a top rope gym with enough autobelays that I could practice climbing on my own ala the Boulder Rock Club, but there aren't any in Denver like that, really. (Movement will charge you more money to provide less equipment, though.) So the next best option was instead coming here and learning to boulder properly, and I'm glad I did.There are three locations to the DBC that each have their own unique flavor, and all of them are great. Each gym has a number of color-coded walls, and one wall gets rotated per week per gym - meaning that you get fresh problems at a very consistent rate while still getting to practice problems on each particular wall for a month or so. I try to climb at each location once per week and there's always something fresh every visit even at that frequency. I can't comment too much on the harder settings, but from the perspective of someone fairly new to climbing mostly attempting Easy+/Medium- routes, the setting is usually really good, a great balance of challenge (even at lower levels!) and variety of types of routes that will always push you to keep up.If you don't like dogs, this gym is probably not great because people are allowed to bring theirs, but if you do (I do), I can't really think of any downsides. It doesn't have the soulless corporate feel of a megagym, quite the opposite in fact. Sometimes they hold events (like for the Lunar New Year, which was AWESOME and had an amazing Korean food truck outside) or amateur climbing competitions, and even at those the vibes are low-key and local. They've got the standard gym suite of treadmills, weights, and yoga classes (free with membership!) plus a bunch of climbing specific training aids like hangboards, moonboards, and a traverse wall at DBC North. 24/7 access here is considerably cheaper than any other climbing gym I'm aware of in the area and the business hours membership is even cheaper than that. So you get a better overall experience at a much more affordable price.

Dog friendly! The environment is chill and respectful. No top rope climbing, plenty of Easy, medium and hard climbs in various walls with different inclines.
