Summit Everett

I've been coming to this gym since it's inception 6 years ago. Formerly 2 other climbing gyms before it's time dating to the '90s, the building itself is old but has lots of character and love.An intimate climbing gym with plenty of rope routes, although with walls on the shorter side around 25ft, and 3 bouldering sections including 15-45° and slab, with corner features and even a short lead roof.The climbing is generally "old school" try hard but the new age setting crew brings fantastic inspiration and modern setting techniques. You'll definitely pull hard here.Arguably the best aspect of this gym is the community and family-type feel of the environment. I've met all of my current best friends here, and I see these relationships lasting lifetimes. Everyone is friendly, pushing each other but not without having loads of fun. I will always love this gym.

I stopped by here for a quick climb while returning to Seattle from vacation. The staff was super friendly and signing up, completely the waver, and taking the belay test for rope took less than 15 minutes. The routes were fun and it was nice to climb away from my home gym.

My Mother was judging a youth competition here one weekend. She asked me to judge in the afternoon as they were short judges. I agreed. Told her Lukus (my service animal) and I could come down and help out. She let the staff know that I have a service animal and that's not a problem. I get the all clear (even though technically, I don't need it).I show up that afternoon to be welcomed by a guy that felt it necessary to lecture me in front of a lobby packed with families. Telling me loudly for all to hear that if my dog behaves in any manner other than a service dog is expected to behave that he'll kick me out so fast etc... Three times. He repeated the same thing becoming more aggressive and increasingly authoritive each time. Meanwhile my dog is in the heel position directly at my side not bothering anybody as he was trained to do as a service animal.It was so embarrassing and belittling I just left. I did not feel welcome there nor did I want to be there. I doubt anyone else started their visit with a stern lecture on their behavior and what will happen if they don't adhere to how they're expected to act. Whatever that means.In closure the answer is definitely no. I do not recommend this place. At no point did my dog or I exhibit any behavior that would warrant being lectured in such an aggressive manner.Zero stars if I could.

Love coming here! The employees are knowledgeable and helpful. You can rent gear and get day passes. Auto belay systems in place as well as bouldering.

Maybe not the tallest gym around, but Summit definitely has the homiest vibe in the area. I like the move towards ratings being a range rather than a strict number. The route setting is always fun and varied

I stopped coming here two years ago because of a series of bad experiences involving incredibly rigid rules (far more than any climbing gym I've been to) and rude and unfriendly staff …

I took the intro to climbing class and loved it! The instructor was so nice and patient and very clear with all of us. Enjoyed the two weeks of climbing after and definitely will be coming back. The whole vibe is so good there and everyone seems so happy to be there. So many kids climbing too and it just felt like everyone was playing. I had such a good time and haven't been this happy in a while💞

Awesome staff and great routes. The check-in is so easy and perfect temp to work out. It's a gem!Constantly creating new routes/challenges!

I drove down from Bellingham to check out this climbing gym. I will never go back! The girl that did our belay test was so rude that my friends and I almost left before we even started climbing. We felt incredibly unwelcome. …

Summit is a place for beginners and veterans alike, The staff are great and knowledgeable. As a person of short height fear I was able to overcome it with their guidance. The Belay Class is informative and taught me all the skills to be …
