Approach Climbing Gym

It's definitely the best rock climbing gym in Omaha, partially it's the only rock climbing gym in Omaha. The bouldering section is awesome, it's friendly to beginners, but has plenty of challenging problems for more seasoned climbers. The top roping is nice with plenty of auto-belays but can lack the bit of variety you might find in a larger or more top rope/lead focused gym. Just a side note, there weren't very many spots to lead but that won't bother most people. The pricing was fairly competitive for the size of the gym. No gym is perfect but this one hits all the big marks. A definite recommendation...

Brought my kids ages 9, 11, 15, 17. Instruction for orientation was very good and each was able to find plenty of challenges. Will definitely return again. Staff was attentive and place was not too crowded nor too loud.

This place is super neat, alot of fun for kids and adults too! Awesome workout if you don't enjoy traditional workouts. Staff are all super friendly! Very relaxing atmosphere.

Went last night with my son and brother in law. We had a blast! The staff was friendly and took us through orientation quickly and safely. We divided up our time between bouldering (no harness, not as tall walls) and climbing with one of the eight auto-belays (strapped into a harness, taller walls, if you fall off, the belay device stops your fall and slowly lowers you down.) A good mix of people were there, from climbing enthusiasts, families, and couples on dates. Everyone was supportive and respectful of each other's place on the wall, with people cheering others on when they progressed up a difficult route.While I'm a little sore today, I had a great time and will definitely be back.

Every time I go the staff is inviting and instructive. As a newbie with newbie friends getting on the wall can be intimidating, but the staff/owners have always been willing to give pointers or guidance. 5 stars

Members only climbing on holidays is a strange restriction, and makes no sense. I understand punch cards carry over but if you’re on a climbing schedule it’s inconvenient. And I’m sure there’s plenty of space for more climbers.Facility is nice. Overhang is limited since it’s so low to the ground. The set currently is okay. Mix between dynamic and static climbing. Could def use some larger volumes to create more interesting climbs. Amazing and friendly staff. The grading is in sections which feels a little lazy to me. Compared to grading something specifically V7 or V9. Store is nicely decked out. Could sell some cheaper chalk.I’m comparing this to the touchstone branch in CA which is my home gym. Our membership is significantly more expensive so for the price I think it’s definitely worth it. I’m just sad entire days are blocked out and I have to train on monkey bars in the cold.

Great bouldering in Omaha. Friendly people, great setting, and they’re eco-friendly! They have reusable hand towels in the bathroom instead of paper towels! I had a great out-of-town bouldering experience here. They have a top rope wall with a few auto belays - about 25 feet tall.

Love this gym. Obviously, the walls aren't as tall as UNL or Mahoney, but the setting makes up for it. The holds are all really unique, and the setters make really cool routes, even the so-called beginner routes are unique (most gyms set really boring ones).Every singles one of the staff is a sweetheart, happy to talk gear and beta if you ask. I love the pups that come in! Good dogs!I actually really like that the grades are more ambiguous, because I'm more likely to try routes way out of my comfort zone if I'm not looking at the exact grading.

What a great and wonderful gym, everyone here is so kind and friendly including other gym members. The routes are challenging and always changing! Working out her doesn't feel like a drag and is always engaging and fun

Received a gift card for my birthday and was able to try Approach. I couldn't be more happier to try rock climbing. Atmosphere is great and employees are friendly. Ever since I can here I've recommend this place to friends, co-workers, and family.
