Got a good workout but had to wait a long time lots of people running around everywhere seem like there's a lot of clutter.

Great bouldering routes to exhaust on before hitting the autobelay with enough routes to keep you busy. My favorite location to go to for their challenging Boulder routes and autobelays!

Great gym but after they rearranged the problems in this location and the Arlington one, I went from being able to tackle a V4 to barely even managing a V2. I don’t know if whoever has been setting up the problems lately isn’t gaging the difficulty levels properly anymore to thin out the crowd or I’m just getting fat.

The sets are getting a little too hard I notice I'm not able to do a lot of sets that I use to do a few months back I'm getting a little bit discouraged but continue to go

Decent setups to climb. The only problem for me is that there is like no AC in this gym. All they have are giant fans that are blowing hot air around. The gym feels stuffy and gets a little hard to breathe after you are climbing.

This is a pretty good climbing gym! My standards are pretty high because I come from the touchstone climbing gym family. I was a member of Cliffs of ID in Los Angeles, and the amenities there were quite a bit better than average. That being said my standards are really high. But the route setting at hangar east riverside is really good. In comparison to Cliffs the grades are much higher. I'd always been told that they grade soft at Cliffs, and once I came to hangar I understood why. The grades if you ask me are definitely more comparable to outside. This gym has quite a few auto belays which is really nice. Quite a bit of good bouldering, a kilter board, and all of your finger strength/campus tools. The staff is really nice, and helpful, all in all its a really good gym. I thoroughly enjoy coming here.

Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, plenty of lockers, a massive wall for belaying, and a giant rock in the middle for bouldering. The routes are constantly changing and they each have their own difficulty rating. You'll find first time climbers here and also those who should be climbing El Capitan... After conquering your route and reaching the top you'll gain access to the upstairs gym. Giant fans and dock doors keep the place cool to help you climb longer. Single day passes are $18, shoe rentals are $3, and memberships start at $35.

Pretty awesome place! There is a lot of things for everyone to do there is even a gym upstairs. I just wish they wouldn't close so early on the weekends so that I could actually go

"FIVE STARS" Great staff, clean facility, good lighting, no AC, gym equipment is lacking but that isn't why you come, new routes weekly for both big wall and bouldering, music ranges from 90s-pop
