It's good. Never too crowded. Walls changed regularly.

Went there mid-trip and it was a lovely experience. Not crowded at all so if you want to socialize then maybe not the best gym. The climbs were very well set and the movements were really good. The equipment were also really good and the spray wall is nice. The “never ending traverse wall” is really good for warming up as well. Also, showered after the session and the shower was very clean and nice and they had shampoo, conditioner and soap there, there was a loofah too but i didn’t use it. Staff were friendly and helpful, overall a very good gym with nice climbs, good experience guaranteed.

Best gym in Denver. 24hr access avaliable with showers. Way chill staff... dirtbag paradise. If I could give more stars, I would.

DBC is awesome. They frequently set walls, have fair pricing, good equipment, and creative routes. The only requests I have are very minor: 1) Use KAYA so climbers can see new sets and info about routes. 2) Traverse wall reset. Regardless, fantastic gym and worth trying out!

I love this place! I'm pretty new to bouldering but it's so much fun and this is such a welcoming environment. The staff and members are friendly but it's easy to be left alone if that's what you prefer too. The yoga studio is fantastic. There are yoga classes twice a week and I highly recommend them and there's gym equipment and plenty of space and amenities. One of my new favorite places!

An excellent bouldering gym at a competitive price! DBC North is my favorite of the three locations for its upstairs traverse wall and the balance of challenge in its various routes - good for any skill level from novice to master!

This place is super fun, clean, and pretty! The staff were really sweet and helpful. It was nice as a beginner because they didn’t feel intimidating and I felt like I could ask for advice if needed!

Nice gym. Setting density leaves a little to be desired. They seem to avoid setting easier problems (below v4ish) on overhang. The M-/Ms I did try were pretty cool problems, but there were just not a ton of problems set compared to say movement Baker (which I think has a similar amount of wall space?) Especially for easier grades, there were not many problems. The traverse wall was really cool though! Wish I had the endurance to go around in circles.
