Decent prices for the area and they have a good variety of climbing choices/routes. The only thing is I don't know why they differentiate between bouldering and the other climbing classes online. The instructors are able to teach whatever you want to do even though they only offer certain times for required classes for newcomers online.

Not so big, but route settings are good. Maybe easier than other gyms in same v.

Update 12/2022: Still great. I do wish the lighting was better by the cave and that there was a greater variety of sets. However, I think they're getting better at creating more challenging sets at the lower levels that require more thought …

Very nice staff. Unfortunately no AC so it became unbearable with this summer heat. Went for a birthday party.

Good place for beginners. Staff is very laid back and willing to help. Can get very busy during the evening weekdays. Bouldering can get crowded but everyone is willing to take turns in spaces. Also great for kids! Saw toddlers climbing walls and kids having fun. Also has a small gym area and yoga classes.

Awesome staff, fun climbs, and great vibes all around make Hangar 18 Long Beach one of the best Hangar 18 gyms by far!I've been bouldering and top roping for years now and I always find myself going to Hangar 18 because they are one of the most affordable climbing gyms in SoCal. Some of the Hangar locations are better than others due to overall maintenance and staff. This location is definitely a lot more well maintained, and is also one of the newest locations. The crash pads are thick and don't look like they are falling apart. There's an even number of top roping and bouldering areas, and the overall layout of the climbing gym is very welcoming. It feels a lot more open and less claustrophobic when there's more people around...My friends and I came to utilize our monthly membership that was ending and I finally convinced them to take a belaying class, since they're the only been doing bouldering. The staff were more than happy to assist us and let us use the rental equipment. They were patient and really helpful in walking us through each step, with adequate time to practice tying the figure 8 knot and appropriate usage of the Grigri top roping device. After top roping for about an hour we did some bouldering and the other members of the gym were so supportive and helpful in helping us through certain routes we were stuck at. Everyone seems to treat each other like family here which is really awesome. If I didn't live so far away I think I'd definitely become a regular here!
