Bouldering Project

Best place to boulder in the city. Amazing staff, great routes, the sauna is awesome, and everyone is super friendly

Fun place for bouldering and working out, would recommend!

UPDATE:Jo, with all due respect, that’s a non-answer. The local ordinance removes the requirement of masks indoors but gives businesses the space to make their own policies. BKB has chosen risk over customers safety. Your message is condescending “I know this is emotive”. I’m not emotive. I’m tired of corporations making internal policy decisions that threaten my life. Your engagement on this has been truly abysmal. Maybe you all should go back to Brooklyn & start over.After speaking with a few staff members here, who pushed the leadership team to keep in place a mask requirement, it’s clear the leaders of BKB have decided not to listen to their staff or their members.I’m really frustrated with Brooklyn boulders. I reached out about their recent policy change to not require masks in the gym, and was given the run around & a series of excuses. The ultimate message I received from their community response team was “well you can wear a mask if you want to” and that was it. I was asked to do a 3 month pause on my membership in lieu of cancelling, which is a sad solution for a policy issue on BKB’s part.We are still in a pandemic. New variants are popping up, and DC community transmission is close to our previous high points. the leadership at BKB are putting people at risk and trying to maintain their bottom line. Please note this as you consider which gym to join. The high price tag here isn’t the only shocking thing about BKB.

As someone new to the sport this place was excellent! Great introduction to the all of the options of where to climb and very comfortable overall environment.

Great experience for trying to out for the day. I was very happy to be so invited and felt right at home with the great staff. Unfortunately I was not treated very well by Terrance the maintenance worker who was very short and rude when asked where the restroom facilities were. I hope that is not a reflection of the employee culture/behavior.

As has been mentioned here already, the amount of bouldering space makes the fitness area extremely limited. Additionally, the amount of people who walk around shoeless and put their feet all over the equipment is odd and kind of gross despite posted signs asking them to wear shoes.

Awesome new gym, great amenities, Jake and Carlo went above and beyond to welcome and show a new arrival the ropes. One of the best gyms I've ever been to.

Really nice facility, awesome sport climbing training section. The bouldering routes were lacking though and felt very cramped / too many traverses running into other problems. I wasn’t allowed to use my friend’s guest pass and had to pay $30 because he wasn’t around. At no other location is this the policy. I also had to wait 20 minutes before I could start bouldering to “learn how to fall” despite bouldering weekly for months and having been to other locations. I signed the waiver so let me climb!

I am a member since it was just a project, I was not very happy with the transition from BKB to Bouldering Project but things are settled now. The staff is just amazing. I climb with my 6y and my 10y, they always enjoy themselves and have done the camps. In terms of the problems I think the setters do an amazing job at keeping everyone in mind, from skill to body composition. They also keep thinking of very creative ways to engage. I personally love doing traverse circuits to build my endurance. Absolutely worth my money!

Incredible facility with top notch route setting, however serious issues with air quality and ventilation in the bouldering area really hamper this gym. While most of the workout area, co-working space, and entrance appears to be well ventilated and has great A/C, for whatever reason the main bouldering area is sweltering hot, and seems to have almost no ventilation, despite massive HVAC units and piping just overhead. Would be a 5-star review otherwise.Aside from this, the amenities available like co-working, sauna, yoga, and towel service, they really hit it out of the park.The staff, location, and especially setting have all been standouts for me. Boulder problems have been fresh, and creative with interesting low starts, good movement, and excellent space to climb and socialize in the main area.
