This is an awesome place. The staff is always great, the routes are constantly being redone to keep the challenge changing. There are a mix of easy, medium, and hard routes so people of any climbing ability can go together. There is also some nice work out equipment and strength training are.

Super friendly staff and climbers. Great movement and fun routes. You can tell the routes have a lot of thought and effort put into them. Also has a moon board, climbing treadmill a wonderful amount of hang boards. Also has a nice basic set of weights. Yoga studio is a bit small could fit 6-8 people tightly. I will be back!

This is probably one of my favorite climbing gyms in Colorado. They have a wide variety of features and personally I think of the indoor gyms in Colorado they have the best route setting team. The one thing I will say though is that this is probably a pretty hard place to climb if your a new climber their easy routes are a little limited and I also found some of the "easy" ones to be a little tricky. But yeah overall really amazing gym and the most interesting routes by far I'd say.

I started going here right when they opened, I had bad luck one night and kept climbing when I was tired and shouldn't have... I fell wrong and shattered my ankle... that was all on me though. I just recently started being able to climb again and this is definitely one of my favorite gyms in town. No they don't have all the fancy stuff of the big gyms, but for people that do more bouldering than anything, this place is perfect. There are a ton of problems, they reset regularly too. The pads are clean, and thick, the problems have a great variety, they have a great training area, the staff is cool and you have have your dog in there too... definitely, DEFINITELY one of the best gyms in town!

We are visitors to Denver for the week, we got rained out today and were looking for something fun to do indoors and this was something that came up after some searching. We’re so glad we decided to go here, what a great time for just $16.The gentleman at the front was great, gave us a very sincere and warm welcome, felt like he was genuinely excited for us to be there, that’s always enjoyable. This was on 6/22 at around 1pm, kudos to him!It was an overall great experience! So much so that we will be taking this up as a hobby down in south Florida :)

If you’re a brand new beginner climber, I wouldn’t recommend this gym. The routes did not seem intuitive and seemed to be set by male climbers, as many problems seemed to have really long gaps between holds, something that is typically more difficult for women climbers (at least me and my friend). The vibe was also not what I was expecting, very quiet and majority of people sitting on the sidelines. Not a lot of talking, no upbeat music, and harsh lighting. Staff was great and super helpful at check-in and facilities are well maintained. I’d recommend The Spot in Boulder, soon to be open in Denver!

Loved this gym. Routes were creative and consistent with some of the best gyms I've been to. Nice staff and climbers too. Went twice while in town and it's my favorite gym of the 5 or so I've been to in Colorado.

Friendly staff, very relaxed vibe and interesting problems that get reset often. I've been coming here for a couple of years and have seen them make a ton of improvements in that time (added a new wall, added a moonboard, went to a monochromatic route scheme, started offering coffee).Only negative is that it can get crowded weekdays after work. However, its not nearly as bad as places like Earth Treks' bouldering area where opposing walls are 15ft apart and you have to constantly check for people behind you or beneath you on the mats. The layout is great at DBC with plenty of room between walls.

Super interesting sets for all levels that will help each climber get better especially if they’re bouldering outside and an extremely welcoming community. The yoga classes held three times a week are awesome and climber focused and the 24 hour access is dope. My favorite part is how everyone encourages everyone no mater what level and each wall changes every 4 weeks. If you want to meet people and get stronger this is your new home away from home.

I love bouldering here! The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable! The people are kind and down to earth, the staff is very friendly! And big bonus it's dog friendly! They offer yoga classes as well as some lifting equipment! I've never felt judged no matter what level of climbing I'm at while I'm here. They also frequently redo the problems so there is always something new to try! Ample parking and free WiFi included!
