I am in love with this climbing gym. Has an awesome central area to climb with top-outs and a killer cave section. The training area upstairs is what does it for me, as I love to get a full dynamic warm-up in before pulling on holds, and this gym certainly delivers on the space to get that workout in.On top of superb climbing, this gym also offers instructed yoga sessions practically every weeknight, as well as sports massages every Saturday for members.CLIMB HERE! You won't regret it

I visited Denver for the weekend and stopped in for a short session. Strictly a bouldering gym with friendly staff. Very clean and new facility that was easy to social distance. The wall height (~12’) was good with lots of top outs (with stair walk down). There is a huge and very steep cave with long problems more like sport climbs. Excellent for endurance training if that’s what you want. The majority of the walls were vertical with little overhang (except for the cave). The grading is “circuit” with Easy, Hard, & Medium tags. There are lots of easy and medium problems but a limited number of hard ones (which I would have preferred). Overall a good but pretty basic bouldering gym.

Great to have another DBC location as an option in the Denver area. Staff were friendly and helpful, restrooms and all the common areas were clean and organized, and I had no issues with parking on a weekday after 5pm.Having spent plenty of time at their main location, as well as other bouldering gyms in the area, I was a bit disappointed by the route setting here. There's a great cave area with lots of potential, but none of the routes utilized the space properly. It seemed like half the routes started or ended in the middle of the wall, with some routes only having 2-3 total moves. Most of the routes didn't even utilize the top out option on the main wall. I felt like many of the problems I tried just lacked good flow, and/or interesting movements and challenges.They are dog friendly which is a plus, but overall a bit of a disappointment with the route setting and current range of problems at the gym.

I've been a part of DBC for a few months now and they are consistently fantastic. This new gym is no exception! Beautiful space with tons of options for climbers of different skill levels/goals. Also the new traverse wall is FANTASTIC for getting back into it after an injury.

Having been to every DBC location, I think the new North location is one of the best for climbers right now if you struggle to get down to Denver and the Central or South gyms. It's super new and clean with a ton of cool stuff that neither Central nor South have. Top out boulders and traverse walls are just a few to name. Definitely get up there before it gets crazy busy!

My wife and I have been DBC members for over a year now. The climbing community and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. All three facilities offer many bouldering problems for all levels of climbing. This is their newest location and has many unique features compared to the other two.You enter on the second level that looks down into the main bouldering area. There is a continuous loop traverse wall, mixed hold training 45 degree? wall, and hang boards. There are also rooms in the back for weight training and yoga.The main bouldering room has sections with top outs on 16ft walls, a massive cave with long routes, and many windows with natural light coming down from the second story.The new location is (of course) clean, bright, and spacious. If you are looking for a more relaxed bouldering gym with great route setters and ever changing bouldering problems look no further.Another plus: they offer 24 hour pass membership for climbers who need a facility in off hours! A DBC membership also grants access to all three locations.
