Fantastic experience: FINALLY! Only days until the doors of Touchstone's West LA location opens to the public, and I shall have my climbing home away from home, closer to home. I love the community at LA Boulders, and I'll continue to make my weekly rounds there; however, it will be SO nice to have another only minutes from my home. Also... FIRST REVIEW!!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is the best. The classes can get crowded at times, but they're still a hella gud workout. If ur really into climbing definitely recommend buying ur own shoes; The rentals are okay, but finding the right shoe will help improve ur climbing.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but love for everybody at Cliffs of Id. The facility is great, the gym space is adequate, the classes are fun, but what separates Cliffs from every other gyms are the outstanding staff members. Every person that works at Cliffs gives it 110% every day. Even if you didn’t send your climb, or you weren’t feeling up to your treadmill workout, the smile and nice words of encouragement at the desk will get you through it. -Nicky

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, great community of people who come, fun variety of classes, and never had a problem here (be warned that there are lots of people who love climbing so weekday nights can get really busy)

Joaquin Estrada 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility. Great climbs, friendly people, and a wonderful time.

Dajawa 1998 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Massive bouldering section, large top rope area with a good handful of solely lead climb routes

Charlie Jesper 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This climbing gym is stellar. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, every route in this massive gym is fun and unique! 16,000 square feet of pure climbing space, not to mention the sauna, and gym, both of which are top of the line. Every time I go I make new friends, and the surplus of incredible problems makes every day exciting and new. The bathrooms and facility are extremely clean and well kept which I really appreciate. If you have not gone, I highly recommend checking out Cliffs of ID, you will not regret it! Thanks for reading!

Fantastic experience: Great space. Prices feel a little steep but such is life in LA.

Alan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Big and nice!! Lots of routes for both bouldering and lead/top ropes. Speaking as a v5/6 climber, the only downside was the overhang/cave area is a little bit too big and majority of ppl ends us climbing on the less steep, and it became super busy. But that’s just me too weak lol.

N 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The routes got more interesting and the grading less soft in the past month or so! Also there are some hot regulars & prolific climbing evangelists at this gym who should earn commission on memberships .

Kel Postel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great facility for bouldering; endless variety and the ratings are fairly accurate. Busy during the weekday evenings and crazy busy on weekends.

Preston Daniel Grant 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Out of the 10+ climbing gyms I've been to, this one is pretty spot on. WiFi, sauna, towels, bouldering, top rope climbing, lead climbing, yoga, weight/cardio room, climbing workout boards, parking, etc. Top-rope is belay only, which is great. No auto ascending machines for non-belayer climbers to clog the area.

Andrew Z 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My favorite climbing gym. Enormous bouldering area with multiple wall types/angles and styles of setting. A different section resets every week. Friendly staff. Well supplied general and climbing-specific workout areas, with really anything a climber would want . Also has a large area for top rope/lead. Yoga and other classes come with a membership. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering area - lots of fun stuff, from v0-v12

Dane Pearson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The nicest staff members and best community you could ask for! I go here as much as I can, and love the expansive rock climbing they provide :))

Chris P 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great to visit another Touchstone gym. Didn't top rope, but bouldering area had a lot of great climbs and variety for all levels

Dustin Bui 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with a great crew working behind the scenes to make it all happen. This place is HUGE. Fun routes for bounding, and top rope as well. Gym is smaller but has everything you need. Weeknights can get crowded though, so come early if you want your own space! I even took my dad :)

Tyler Adkins 2 years ago

Probably my new favorite climbing gym...it was.dogpatch n the bay but I think.cliffs took the crown just 4 the fact that u can top rope and lead climb as well...! Climbing is life...!!!

Iggy Gallard 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favorite climbing gym in Los Angeles! Filled with great climbing, extra amenities and classes. Staff is great! Look for Andrew behind the counter he's the nicest guy and always makes people feel welcome. stay safe and climb hard, friends!!!

Brett Seabloom 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had my first bouldering class here a couple months ago and haven't stopped coming. The staff is friendly and helpful and the facilities are awesome. Edit: 4 years later and countless visits to gyms across the country—this has to be one of the best bouldering gyms in the nation.

Benjamin Parsons 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I LOVE THIS GYM. Route setting is clever and *shocker* consistently graded! The staff is super friendly and fabulous. Just get some new swag people, I’ll rock it round town.

Minoo Lifediary 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved this place other than personnel being supper nice the people that come in are really nice and teach you stuff. If your new to rock climbing you can rent the shoes there for the first time, the locker is free and then there are paths with numbers showing how though they are. For instance in the beginning it’s better to start from v0/v1. There are two sides in there actually, there’s the short climbing part that doesn’t need rope and there’s the other part that needs ropes and it’s longer but for that you have to pass a test.

Josh Keith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly community. I love this workout routine; it's challenging and exciting; it incorporates puzzle solving, something I enjoy doing also. The space also has free weights and benches, a work space for people who just like to be in the space... just a great place to be.

Josh Campbell 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing bouldering gym!!! Not so great for top rope... I used to dislike bouldering and only do top rope, this gym made me like bouldering. Great place, a lot of route to find those that suits and motivate you. I do not like the top rope there but there is a meet up for top rope, so... I still do it once in a while, but I rather boulder there.

Craiger 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place hits the sweet spot between great boulders, good rope climbs, and very good training spaces. With a room dedicated to hangboards, one to campus walls, one to woodies, a gym, and a classroom. Showers, sauna, towel service included. Boulder heavy (what did you expect? It's Touchstone.) but a great all-rounder nevertheless. The parking lot is often full, but there is tons of street parking. I have a membership to two climbing gyms, and been to most/all in this region, and this is now my favorite gym.

Gary Mitsuda 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best indoor climbing gym in the greater los angeles area - and judging by the competition, that says a lot. The bouldering area is huge and has challenging problems for climbers of all levels. With large bay windows and a lounge-like waiting area, you can easily spend an entire day here. It feels almost like a co-working area with climbing built into it. Great stop for some spiderman-like relaxation.

Asad Abbas 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a nice gym. Lots of "quiet" pockets where you can take your time with problems and won't feel rushed. Just the way I like it. Also has not too high walls. PS I only Boulder.

Jessie Danae 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favorite climbing gym in LA! Huge bouldering area, top ropes, plus a ton of regular gym things like a weight room and treadmills. The fitness classes are all wonderful and I've met some great people at this gym!!

Samantha Orlando 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal gym. Huge bouldering and roping areas with well-maintained, fantastic routes. Very friendly, helpful staff. Great day-pass price. I climbed here one day while on vacation, and cannot wait for my next trip to L.A. to hit up Cliffs of Id again!

v R 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: So much bouldering to try! There are lockers, tables & wifi ( great if you work remotely - you can probably spend all day there. Work on computer, take a break and Boulder, work, then take a class). Speaking of classes, besides the gym and shower amenities, they offer wide variety of classes. Acroyoga anyone? I've only ever gone as a guest, but everyone, staff and climbers, seem so friendly.

John Bender 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife, my daughter, and I had an introductory lesson to bouldering and top-roping from Evan who was very thoughtful and clear in his instruction as well as being exceptionally nice. If you're unsure about whether you'd enjoy climbing I recommend you call up Cliffs of Id and try to set up a private lesson (ask for Evan!) you won't regret it.

Travis 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym, met a climber YouTuber here, the people seem friendly, really safe (strict) with belay test, usual price. Route setting was amazing for boulders; they also have some cool unique features like a very very huge boulder overhang, archways, and slab walls. I can't imagine getting bored here; has every style of bouldering to please all with an insane amount of different holds. Grading is little on the soft side, and top rope is ATC. Very spacious and clean. Seriously glad to pick this gym as i only had few days to try two in the area.

Locke Lamora 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Super cool vibe and unique wall configurations. I was there when they had an all women's climbing event and it was really fun and inspiring. Strong community vibe. Great spot to climb in the LA area.

Masha B 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Incredible space, a true bouldering dream. Staff is friendly, and the community it provides is a huge part of what attracted me to membership. The sheer size of this place is awesome, it’s hard to ever get sick of going and it’s been my home gym for over a year. If you don’t feel like climbing, the fitness classes are great, plus there’s a nice area to sit and do work. Seriously my favorite climbing gym I’ve been to, ever.

Michael Brennan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to be. The walls are well balanced, but definitely offer a good challenge. The locker rooms are A+ (extra points for the Sauna). The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. They also have plenty of long benches inside where you can eat or do some work. Only drawback is you might have to wait for a parking spot during peak hours, but maybe you should just come in the morning

zaida blaise 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A Five Star indoor climbing gym with bouldering, top rope, and sport climbing. Plus a strength and conditioning area and fitness classes. Excellent quality walls, mats, etc. and good equipment. Prices are reasonable. Parking is a little tight. The top rope/sport area routes tend to be over-rated in my opinion.

Mark Thielen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The people and community are great. The routes are constantly being updated. Extra tall Ceiling height for ropes climbs is a bonus. The sauna after climbing is wonderful.

Kathryn Savage 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best rock gym in LA for both bouldering and ropes. They also have fun classes, like acro yoga and nice locker rooms with saunas.

Peter Sunden 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A Five Star indoor climbing gym with bouldering, top rope, and sport climbing. Plus a strength and conditioning area and fitness classes. Excellent quality walls, mats, etc. and good equipment. Prices are reasonable. Parking is a little tight. The top rope/sport area routes tend to be over-rated in my opinion. Where I think a Colorado climbing gym would call a 5.8, Cliffs would call it a 5.10 -and a bit over-zealous with the A, B, C ratings as well...but everyone needs an ego bump. Still a great place that I hope to return to!

Fabian Elmers 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic climbing gym, lots of bouldering, and medium size top roping area. Friendly staff, clean space, decent weight room.

Dominik Stemer 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! Tons of boulder problems for all skills levels and a large top roping area. Sauna, gym, and other strength training facilities as well.

Alex Joy 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym. Lots of bouldering, plus top roping and lead. They also offer classes and workshops like yoga, acroyoga, partner stretching, etc. training rooms and gyms upstairs. bonus: Saunas and quality products in the showers.

Chris Morris 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to three climbing gyms: Boulderdash in the San Fernando Valley, LA Boulders (a Touchstone gym like Cliffs of Id), and this gym (Cliffs if Id). Cliffs of Id is by far the best. This climbing gym is massive. There are lots of bouldering and roped routes. I like that the entire gym is padded so you don't have to move pads around. The bathrooms and shower area and locker rooms are really nice. The gym has super high ceilings so there is a very 'open' feeling. The staff are really nice too. There are not enough parking spaces, but you can find parking on the street.

Abe S 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a good balance of lead/top roping and a big bouldering area. Super fun place with nice weights/workout equipment and yoga space. Also separate rooms for finger boards and 45 degree practice wall. Great ventilation. Probably the best of the 3 Touchstone gyms in the LA area in MHO.

Daniel Erat 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym with tons of bouldering and a decent amount of good lead and top-rope routes as well. Friendly staff and clientele, and memberships at other Touchstone gyms are valid here. Lots of seating and good wifi, too. No autobelays and most people just boulder, so you may have trouble if you go here by yourself hoping to do roped climbing.

Morison Woo 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I like this Bouldering Gym a lot! I recently started getting into bouldering. This was one of the better gyms I've been to. Pretty new and plenty of space! There's a lot of challenging ones to conquer! They also have an upstairs area for other workouts. They have treadmills and also a separate room for classes that helps you stretch out your muscles after a long climb. The restrooms are super nice too. They have a sauna in there and places to shower. I haven't seen a restroom this nice at a gym before. Highly recommended!

Re becca 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gosh. this is seriously harder than it looks! Ive rocked climb with a harness plenty of times and I guess this was my first REAL experience at bouldering and it beat me up pretty good! The feeling of a harness obviously makes you feel invincible but the fact that you have no security but a seemingly bouncy floor doesn't make me feel too comfortable climbing all the way up without feeling a bit queasy in the tummy! I actually don't have a fear of heights until that day, the instructor however did their best on introducing different techniques to help us climb better but it was still a work in progress. Def worth a couple more tries that is for sure!

Robert Karl 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Trendiest, cleanest, largest gym I've ever been to. They even have a local coffee shop make a special blend roasted just for their iced coffee they sell in store. The climbing structures are huge, terrain varied, holds clean, routes well spaced. No autobelays. Expensive, as you would expect. Ratings are very soft so you can be pleased with the ratings you climb here. Overall had a great first time visit, would be a member if I lived closer. It's a Touchstone gym so I think membership includes some bay area gyms.

fr0g nutz 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Incredibly nice staff and an amazing gym altogether! The environment is really relaxed and the workouts are intense. The bathrooms are super clean and the showers have hot water instantly. This place is amazing!

Will K 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is without a doubt the best climbing gym. I've been to. Awesome facilities, fun routes, a little busy later in the day/ weekends but where in LA isn't?
