DYNO Detroit Climbing

Been climbing for about 5-6 years now and gotta say this is without a doubt the best gym in Michigan and one of the nicest I’ve been to around the country.Staff are all friendly to new and old climbers.Place is super clean.Consistently new boulders routes set each week.Boulders are set really well at the grade.Routes are hit or miss with being a little soft by gym standards but the setting is still phenomenal.Did I mention they actually set new routes consistently?!?They have so much planned for this gym and it’s a wonderful thing that they’ll become a hub for the current community in Detroit while also nurturing the future climbing community. It’s refreshing how much better this gym already is than the ones that have been around metro Detroit for almost thirty years. A fresh and welcome change to the Michigan climbing scene!!Update 2022: routes are definitely more at the grade and the boulder setting is still great. The gym is still super clean and safe! Staff are on top of their game and super kind while still keeping people in check. Excited to keep ripping here

Best climbing gym I’ve ever visited! The whole staff (but especially the owner, Dino) is so incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful. There is a great variety of wall angles, grades, and setting styles, and it is clear that they are really intentional about serving users of all ability levels and absorbing traffic well. Their facility is also beautiful and incredibly clean. 10/10!!!

If I could give more stars I would. Stef was amazing with my daughter and taught both of us the ropes! Very welcoming for first timers. We loved it, I could barely get my daughter to leave! Thanks again for such a fun time.

Really friendly staff and great top roping section. They seem to have created a generous and kind community, which is not common at all gyms. Hope to be back soon!

Fun gym, good variety of routes. Price was fair, and the mandatory intro was reasonable and clear.

I have been going to climbing gyms for 20 years now in metro Detroit, NYC, and Boston and DYNO is definitely my favorite. The routes are varied, the vibe is very friendly, and the staff is second to none. I even had an issue with payment and Dino, who I believe is the owner, went above and beyond to help me out in my unique situation. I cannot recommend DYNO highly enough to beginners and veterans alike.

Clean gym, great bouldering, and great people! The staff is also very friendly and helpful. After getting a day pass, my husband and I got a membership and will be going back as much as we can!

I tried out Dyno today for the first time,and I had a blast. I was very scared at the beginning because this is my first time rock climbing. However, the staff was super supportive, motivational, and nice. I had a great experience!I highly recommend this place to all. I will definitely come back!!!

The gym itself is very nice and clean, there's a lot of parking (even on busy days at Eastern Market, they have someone out there making sure you're climbing if you want to use their parking lot), the staff are helpful and kind.However, the routes are rated to appear much easier than they should be IMO - I've been climbing at a few gyms in the Seattle area, and the progression from vB -> v0 -> v1 etc. is a lot more gradual than this gym. I can climb v3s/v4s in Seattle, but here I had trouble completing many of the v2s, which I expect would have been rated v3+ if I was in Seattle. The holds are relatively easy at vB-v1, but many of them require significant amounts of strength/technique.

I started out at V1-V2 here and now I’m at V5-V6 because they have awesome resources like yoga, specific level training, and great workout equipment. The bouldering routes will always impress you with how unique each one is designed. The top-roping and lead-climbing here is very advanced as well. There’s many beginner level problems for bouldering and top roping too so you can feel good about your ego after failing all day😂. I’ve recommended everyone to this place. The prices are very affordable for everything, especially the monthly membership being only $79! You won’t be disappointed, the staff are amazing people and the owner is there a lot so he makes sure everything is extremely clean and running at top level 👌🏼 If you would like to see a small dog named Pig you should come to Dyno Detroit, he’ll be following the owner around so you’ll know who the owner is!
