Hangar 18 Upland is one of the first climbing gyms in Southern California. This is the gym where Hangar 18 began. The gym has seen some upgrades over the years and now has 12,000+ sq. ft. of climbing, including top rope, over 30 lead climbing routes, auto belays, and of course top-notch bouldering.

This is a great activity for climbers of any age or ability level. You can come with a partner and we'll show you all the basics needed to conquer your fears and get to the top of that wall.

Our advanced climbing facilities are perfect for those looking to improve their skills or learn new techniques. With a variety of angles and difficulties, you'll be able to push yourself to new heights.

If you're a climber who likes to fly solo, our auto belays are perfect for you. You can reach new heights without the aid of a belay partner. Just clip in and climb on.

The quickest way to improve your climbing skills is to boulder. Bouldering is climbing without a rope, using only a padding system to protect you from falls. This will help you to push your climbing abilities to new heights.

Hangar 18 is the perfect place to host your next birthday party or corporate event. Our group event packages are designed to take your event to the next level. We offer a variety of options to make sure your event is one that your guests will love.

Fantastic experience: I've only gone rock climbing once so I have nothing to compare this to... but I had an awesome time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try it. My friend and I shared a groupon that was $30 total for both of us, and included a belay lesson and equipment/shoe rental, then you can climb anywhere in the gym to your heart's content. The staff is very nice and helpful, and the climbs are labeled with the level of difficulty. For those who don't want to use ropes and harnesses, there are plenty of walls for bouldering. I know there's mats and all, but it's still kind of scary. Yes, recommended and would definitely go again.

Fantastic experience: From your first time to your 50th, they are great and treat you like you are a regular. It's like being part of a family of happy athletic people.

Heather David 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The husband and I brought my 4 yr old and my 13 yr old niece. Isaac gave my hubby and I lessons on how to belay then turned us loose! Isaac explains slow, repeats often and builds confidence without making you feel dumb. His thorough instruction made us feel safe in our OWN hands! The teenager had a blast, the small child got tuckered out and both me being out of shape and the hubby being in great shape felt challenged and had fun!

Fantastic experience: Friendly people and positive environment.the staff is awesome. Helpful and informative. It's a really cool/fun place to get a work out in!

Anthony Layos 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! I visited from San Diego and it was worth the trip. Awesome boulder, great rope walls and a fun slab room. Definitely recommend for all level of climbers!

Joshua Tootell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great mix of bouldering, top rope, auto belay, and sport. Staff is pretty much the same as the other Hangar's, which isn't a bad thing. Setters do a great job. I couldn't be that creative every week. Attracts a younger, college crowd. As a middle aged introvert, it gets uncomfortable. But, that's me.

Fantastic experience: 11am-2pm wasn't busy so it felt cozy. Nice routes

Belle Gonzales 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Being the original location, I’m not surprised it’s always packed in here! Nevertheless the staff (the very few of them) are so sweet and helpful. We got turned away for one of the classes because we arrived a bit too late but were friendly enough to provide info for the future. Everyone seems patient and good-natured when waiting their turn to climb bc of limited space which is a plus since you’ll be in full display when you get your chance. If you like audiences, definitely go here! Good array of different types of climbs. The bathroom facilities could use a deep clean and updating, same as the cooling systems since the air always seems stuffy (fans were super dusty).

Stephanie Notley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym everyone is very friendly. Set up is a little awkward but there's not easy way around it. There are sometimes traffic jams and you have to be mindful of where you are standing by the tall walls in case someone takes a lead fall. Walls are pretty steep and powerful but they do their best to make some creative problems. Parking has never been an issue.

Minh Anh Bui 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Very wonderful setting (you can see this from their IG). I enjoyed the fact that they rewarded climbers who could send a weekly problem they set up. I came here twice and I didn't lead, I only boulder and top roped, but the "chimney" lead they had was very beautiful and promising. Reasonable price and friendly staff. Has weights as well. I would climb here if I lived nearby. This is probably my favorite gym.

Ryan Rowe 1 year ago

Positive experience: In town for a little and decided to stop by. Good climbing with challenging routes quite different from my home gym but there’s something to be desired. Holds look pretty old and faded which makes it kinda hard to tell routes apart. First rental shoes they gave me had a ripped toe and the second pair was very smooth. Weirdest part was that they don’t rent chalk?

Israel Garcia 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Popular place to do some auto-belay and boldering. All different level paths to attempt to have fun or truly push yourself.

Lisa Kaler 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Hangarland since the late '09 and I can't seem to get away from this place. It's not only allowed me to build my strength physically, but it has also build my confidence as a person from the lifetime friendships. They've got friendly staff who are there to help whenever you're in need along with their friendly smiles!

Finn Grant 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I come here all the time. It is a great facility, nice staff, and they reset routes fairly often. Though the real gem of this place is the community. Everyone here is super friendly and encouraging, regardless of your skill or experience level. I've made many friends here and always try to bring my new friends out climbing. Make sure you respect/learn climbing etiquette if you are new though.

Abe S 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the original Hangar 18 climbing gym. It's really in an old hangar! Good bouldering problems, great top rope and lead climbing routes, and down to earth cool crowd and staff. I think the routes here are probably some of the more difficult ones among several of the climbing gyms in Southern California. Besides the bouldering and rope climbing areas, there aren't too many other extra facilities compared to other climbing gyms (like weights, workout machines, saunas, etc.). The focus is really on the walls. Other than several fans, there's no air conditioning or central heat, so temperatures may be really hot in summer and cold in winter. Still one if my favorite climbing gyms because of the routes and the chill crowd. If you want to lead climb, you need to bring your own rope as they don't lend out ropes anymore. They do offer lead climbing classes/certification.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! It was my last day in the area and my pass had expired the month before and one of the staff members let me use their guest pass for my last day there, very kind!

David Ekstein 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Climbed for 4+ hours yesterday. I'm smoked today.. but this place was so much fun. Felt like a kid climbing trees again! Multiple learning levels and difficulty as well as different types of climbing.

Dan Carbajal 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was residing in Upland temporarily and used the Metrolink Upland Station to commute back and forth to L.A. Union Station , daily. While waiting for my train I always wondered about what is this place across the street that caught my attention because of the groups of people that go in and out always excited along with gear in backpack or gym bags... turns out I have been missing out all along. This place is amazing and so much fun!!! I had never been rock climbing but never had it occurred to me the possibility that it was available indoors. Since then I am hooked! New hobby!! Would not have happened if it weren't for the friendliest of staff at this establishment. Thank you so much.

carlos ramos 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really great welcoming climbing gym. This gym reflects the climbing community in that it's super friendly, helpful, and just super chill. I've never had any issues with anything and the staff at every location has been very helpful and friendly. I'll continue to call hangar 18 my home gym even if I move away.

Kevin Chang 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: So much fun! Our daughter wanted to have her 8th bday party here. So glad we did, all of the kids had a blast and the staff was so helpful and friendly. We will be regular visitors from now on!

Angie Lo 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite H18 gym so far! It's huge, it has a great bouldering area and equally as awesome sport climbing area. I don't make it to Upland often but when I do, I'm sure to swing by this H18 gym!

johnny dangerously 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The people are great here. The staff is polite, and the fellow patrons are happy to cheer you on or give advise on how to solve the climbs. Great place to hang out with friends if you like being active.

Lily Lopez 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend bought the Groupon intro class for 2 people for my birthday. It was my first time rock climbing and loved it! The staff was super friendly and chill. We watched a quick intro video and did an intro class. Lots of important stuff to learn but you get the hang of it quickly. You can also sign up for their monthly membership at a discounted price. So worth it.

Sean Dalton 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Literally the best workout in town, except of course, real outdoor climbing. Couldn't say enough great things about this place.

Dustin Hamabata 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place has put me in the best shape of my life my arms have never been Stronger. They have a crew That regularly change the routes so That each time I show up there's new problems solve. Festive atmosphere, clean, knowledgeable staff, and good people. Also membership gets you into all of hanger 18's locations. The Upland and Arcadia locations are my favorites. This is my gym.

Sean Mcdermott (Bassterd fishin) 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the place I learned to climbed moved away for a couple years when I came back it was a completely different staff but I am glad to say they are just as friendly place hasn't changed to much new spot in the back for bouldering other than that not much has changed the is my climbing gym of choice so many good memories here

Sarah Pena 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great even for beginners! I urge you to go even if you've never done it before. You watch a safety video so you know the code of conduct and the staff is always there to help. Hot tip: If you sign up or go on a Tuesday, you and your friend will get half price on the day pass or membership!

Steven Scott 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is the best, I usually spend 90 minutes here 2-3 times a week. The pricing for the month is the best deal if you go twice in a month you have already payed for the month All the people here are very nice and friendly You can rent most of the gear that you need for climbing and it's at a great price too. The only negative I have is that's it's so popular that you sometimes have a hard time finding parking

Stephanie Gonzalez 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience at Hangar 18! Groupon had a deal online and so I thought I would check it out. The facility is clean and employees educate their guests on the proper use of equipment and safety. Would have spent more time there but my arms were so tired by the 2nd hour of climbing. Great for all ages and will definitely be visiting again with family and friends!

Juan Garcia 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good amount of climbs and holds. I wish the signup process was better managed because it took me an hour once I started before I can start climbing. Good tutorial and hands on demonstration for top-rope and auto-belay as well as bouldering.

Liz P 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went on a school field trip with the international students. It was a great time, the climbing trials were challenging but fun. The staff was really nice and patient, our group was given the upstairs seating area to eat our lunches. I would recommend if you have been looking to do indoor rock climbing.

albert h 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good cheap place to climb. Their Free Climbing level system is very consistent. I can climb up to V03 at Mission Viejo gym, but I can't even do V02 here.

Annalise Groves 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym for bouldering and lead climbing. The upland location doesn't have much top roping, only a small area with maybe four or five belay stations. However, I've grown to like that it's only lead climbing because it keeps the routes less busy, and many of their routes have overhung extensions for a harder grade. The staff are great, and they will lend you a rope for free. Moreover, the bouldering areas are large and offer several climbs in a wide range of difficulties. They also use color coordinating holds instead of tape, which I love.

Rachel Marquez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff members are great and helpful, if you truly admit you knowledge level of climbing and physical ability. Great places for an off-beat party.

Bryan Mortimer 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I came to the game with our 1 and 4 year old daughters about 2 years ago on a Thursday night when they had a family night special. We have now been going about twice a week for the last 2 years and have loved every time we go the staff is amazing and I can only say good things about the environment and endless help that is available. Both of our daughters now climb and it is now our go to family activity! Thank you hanger 18.

Alex Pygin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best climbing gym I’ve been to. They change the climbs constantly and the staff are awesome. Lots of super nice people climb there and there have been regulars that have been climbing there for at least 4+ years. Very likely you’ll see people you know there if you live in the area

Alan Dayley 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great rock gym with lots of different routes and varying degrees of challenge. The staff was extremely helpful and patient. (Brought in 5 kids under 11yrs!) They took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Ethan was great too. If every gym I visited was as friendly or helpful as he was , the rock climbing gym world would benefit greatly. Thanks Hangar 18 for a great time!

Greg Sidberry 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beginner friendly, good staff. Favorite rock climbing gym. Best hangar 18 gym.

Cameron Goodale 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym is great. Good mix of bouldering and top rope (including two auto belays now), with plenty of space for lead climbing, and two crags if you want to practice crag climbing. Very good laid back atmosphere, and a great place for beginners and experienced climbers alike. It is not heated or cooled, so dress appropriately for the season.

Joshua Edwards 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to climb. Staff is friendly and routes change often to keep new problems showing up.

Fantastic experience: Awesome climbing gym! Friendly people, and an awesome environment even for beginners. They change their routes frequently enough to keep challenging everyone

Tim Wagner 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for climbing. Very relaxed too. Begginers are welcome, but it would probably be best to show up with a friend if you want to climb. Good variety​ of routes, and lots of bouldering.

GT Harraka 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you're in it for the rock climbing, this is the place for you. It doesn't offer and kind of weight or cardio equipment so really only for those strictly looking for climbing. Haven't top roped here but the bouldering routes are excellent and changed up fairly frequently. It's well spread out too so there's never wait times to get on problems. Great gym.

Keith Hart 7 years ago
