Monster Mountain is a rock climbing gym located at 9063 Bond St, Overland Park, KS. The gym is well-loved for its top-notch route setting, friendly community, and brilliant staff. Despite its smaller size, the gym offers a variety of challenging routes, particularly for top rope climbing. It's an ideal spot for climbers at any skill level, and Monday nights are half price for non-members, making it a budget-friendly option.
The gym's primary drawback is its limited and unconventional operating hours, with open times only on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 PM. Additionally, it shares space with a gymnastics facility, which can result in crowding during peak times. However, the welcoming environment and quality climbing experience make Monster Mountain a hidden gem worth visiting.

Smaller than anticipated, ladies behind the desk didn't know the rules. Kids had a pretty good time tho.

Employees were EXTREMELY patient with my daughter and I while instructing us how to use their equipment. The climbing walls are the best I've been to in KC. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been to a solid number of climbing gyms at this point, and Monster Mountain has my favorite top rope walls BY FAR. I haven't seen nearly as many interesting features outside of lead climbs. The route setting itself is also top notch - all of my personal "top 5" routes have been here. Finally, the staff is superbly friendly and helpful, and the pricing is among the best you'll find. The only real downside is how near some of the walls are to the gymnastics area, which can get a bit crowded at times. But that one shortcoming is more than made up for by everything else.

I use to climb here all the time with my friend Chris. It's a lot of fun. Definitely something cook to do on a rainy day. The play area for the kids is one of the best in town.Only problem is the hours are a bit odd and limited.

I have really enjoyed climbing here. It's the only place that is literally so friendly that everyone can show up without a climbing partner and have one within 5 minutes even if you don't know a soul. It's a beautiful thing. The facility is smaller than some, but more than makes up for that with its BRILLIANT route setting. So creative, so fun, and so challenging - it's really the best I've ever seen.

A lot of routes with top ropes provided. All you need is someone to belay you. Monday nights are half price for non members! It's fun. All the bouldering is pretty challenging, but a wide variety of top rope routes. Does the trick for a once a week climber

This place has a great community. I climbed here often on student night. The people are very helpful for people new to climbing. This is a hidden gem for sure. It is located at the back of Emerald City and it is just a few blocks North of Oak Park Mall. They have recently expanded their hours and that is awesome!

For climbers, great staff and well designed routes. It does share space with a gymnastics facility so it is often crowded.
