Diablo Rock Gym

Fantastic experience: We love all the Touchstone gyms!!! I agree they are one of the best set gyms!!!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it is a home away from home for me. The staff & community at Diablo is very helpful & supportive!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with constantly changing routes. 10/10 would climb again.

Fantastic experience: My favorite of all the Touchstone gyms in the Bay Area. Never too crowded, lots of climbs, and a great outdoor workout area for classes or general lifting. Indoor bike parking as well.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and gym! It would be even better if the routes are updated more regularly.

Fantastic experience: Always a great time!

Fantastic experience: I love this place rocking jumps for my Kids they love to came ! Recommend

Fantastic experience: Nice gym with super friendly staff and patrons. There is a good mix of routes, both top rope and lead, that are updated regularly.

Fantastic experience: It's a great place to train.

Positive experience: Change the routes more often. There aren't even weekly resets. Pac pipe and other touchstone gyms have much fresher climbing.

Fantastic experience: I love this rock climbing gym. I think it's a right size for a beginner like me. When I first tried rock climbing, I was nervous and scared. My cousins were encouraging and I managed to get over my fear of falling to my death. LOL. My advice for first timers is give yourself time to learn and have fun doing it. Don't pressure yourself to be this expert climber in a short period of time. I'm still a beginner myself. Take your time to learn how to tie a figure eight and the safety steps in setting up as a climber and belayer. I love that I end up getting my belay card from DRG because it was my first rock climbing gym. Shout out to Tyler for being patient with me during my first belay test at DRG. He said my belaying technique would wear me out fast, so he gave me a few tips to improve. Credit to Dom for also teaching me about the maximum fist length. For some, this may go over your head LOL. Overall, this is a clean gym with good size boulder section, top roping and lead climbing. Also, it has decent size of gym equipment and weights. They also have fitness class. Y'all have to check out their website for more info.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best rock gyms there is. It has challenging courses but also fun and easy ones as well. The courses even change every so often so you have new adventures every time you go.

Fantastic experience: The best medium sized rock gym. Cool vibe and plenty to do.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym, great community.

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff!

Fantastic experience: Great place to start climbing! There's no shame for size, just come climb!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve had the pleasure of belonging to! Staff and regulars alike are super friendly and supportive, and there’s a great community feel. Even though it’s a little smaller than some other gyms, you won’t get bored as they set new problems frequently, rotating out sections of the wall.

Fantastic experience: Had a great Intro to Climbing class. My instructor, Emerson, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and was really supportive throughout the class.

Fantastic experience: Always clean and courteous!

Fantastic experience: Great place for climbing.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Friendly and exciting with great classes and events!

Fantastic experience: We love this place! It is family oriented and offers more than just rock climbing and bouldering. Spinning, weight lifting, yoga and more. It is fun to book climbing parties for kids and adults. They have a room for pizza/cake parties, that you must book. The facility is kept clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. It is a good workout with a lot of fun. They have easy climbing routes and much more challenging ones. It is easy to loose track of time while having some physical fun!

Fantastic experience: Some great rock walls and a bouldering area. They also have a small gym. This place is awesome. I bring my 7yo son all the time and all the people are kind and welcoming. It's a good place to learn. They don't have any automatic belay so you'll need a buddy if you wanna climb the walls.

Fantastic experience: Love this place since i found it, excellent place for yoga and get your mind off of things..friendly helpful staff, saftey first..whn it comes to gear knowladgeable, climbing to new heights..gym is great too for lifting weights, massage therapy and trainers availible for climbing needs, lots of classes to take yoga, helpful climbing partners if needed. Excellent place to get your climb on all levels including kids..:)

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility with constantly rotating routes for new challenges. Staff are all super friendly and helpful and everything is kept cleaned and organized. I recently joined a few weeks ago and everyone there has made jumping into climbing an easy and fun experience. They also have CrossFit classes at a discount for members so I might be trying that in the future. They do have drop-in rates and month passes, but do yourself a favor and just get a membership and it pays for itself within a few visits!

Fantastic experience: Nice routes and great workers. Plenty of things to do and you meet great people.

Fantastic experience: Just thinking about how much I miss DRG. A really fine gym indeed.

Fantastic experience: Rock solid! Not perfect, as nothing ever is. But the staff and management were super helpful for my son’s birthday party! It was like summer camp for 2 hours. He and his friends had an incredible time. There was room for constructive criticism and Hans and his team listened and took full responsibility. We can’t wait to come back and rock on...

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I went for a yoga class with a friend and everyone was very friendly. Kate, the yoga instructor, is exceptional. She creates a very personalized feeling in thew class. It was my first yoga class ever, and I didn't feel awkward at all!

Fantastic experience: Best kept secret in the touchstone gym network! Friendly, well maintained climbing gym with tons of interesting routes while not being as crowded as some of the other gyms. I really appreciate how clean the locker rooms are.

Fantastic experience: Friendly friendly and helpful people, great challenges for a mid level and a beginner climber

Fantastic experience: The staff is wonderful, the gym is clean and well maintained, the climbs are touchstone quality

Fantastic experience: Relaxed environment, friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Gracias

Fantastic experience: Super steep lead area. Cool crack to work out on. Encouraging staff and community. Try their challenge list.

Fantastic experience: Great Rock gym! Bouldered here one day while in town. Not a huge bouldering area, but they had some really good v2-v4 problems

Fantastic experience: Only been here a few times with friends who are members... Very dope place. On top of the rock walls and bouldering area there's weight equipment, locker rooms equipped with showers steam room & sauna, yoga classes offered, I think cross fit too? Not sure what the deal is with these guys and Diablo cross fit but I'd assume if you're a member of either you probably get some sort of deal if you want to use the other? Clean place, cool people, friendly employees. It is a little steep for a student like myself I think a monthly membership runs something around $67 but considering all the stuff you can use that's not bad at all.

Fantastic experience: I came here with a friend a few months back just for something to do and immediately fell in love with climbing. Great gym, people are nice and staff is great. It's on the smaller end but it's usually not as busy for that reason. Lots of good too rope routes and a smaller bouldering area that gets more interesting the better you get at climbing. Love it so much I bought gear and a membership after my second visit. A great place for beginners and there were many harder routes for experienced climbers.

Fantastic experience: Lead, top rope, bouldering, weights, slackline, crossfit. Diablo gives you lots of options for training.

Fantastic experience: fun place. generous staff. offers many different classes and things to keep you busy all day. worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: They have daily and monthly passes.... go try them out. I love all the touchstone gyms. My whole family loves going here.... wife, 2 teens, and 2 children. My dogs would probably love it there if they could go. Just saying...

Fantastic experience: I have a bunch of friends that go rock climbing in the city but since I work out of walnit Creek I didn't have the time to go. A co-worker said that there was a gym in walnut Creek so I decided to try it out. At first I thought it was small because I only bouldered, but as I started to get into top roping and getting into harder routes it was a very friendly and warm place. At this location they hold a bunch of free events for members and everyone that I talk to that goes here loves it.

Fantastic experience: I haven't been to many climbing gyms in the past, so i thought that the reason i was so impressed with this place was due to my inexperience, but when i caught the bug, got back home to Florida, and tried to find something similar i soon realized how special Diablo rock gym really is. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the facility is incredible. Best of all, the atmosphere and people there was infectious. Everyone is extremely encouraging, and wants to see you succeed, and will help you get there. The fully equipped weight training facility inside was a great bonus! What an awesome place to get fit and have a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym super nice people here
