Beta Bouldering Gym

Fantastic experience: Awesome clean and big bouldering gym. I visited Flagstaff briefly for a conference and tried out both the Flagstaff Climbing Center downtown and Beta Bouldering. Beta is way better, yet somehow cheaper. In fact, in this case, Beta is Alpha (sorry, couldn't resist). The holds are either new or cleaned regularly, there aren't 10 pieces of tape on each hold, the mats are plush and continuous (no crevices to twist an ankle in), and there is a wide range of problems. They seem to set long and often reachy problems compared to my home gym, but that could be a good or bad thing depending on who you are (and may not be the way they set always). Also, they have a foosball table!

Fantastic experience: Great staff great facility

Fantastic experience: It was such a blast to come here and get some climbing in! The day pass was only $18 and well worth it

Fantastic experience: I like rocks

Fantastic experience: The bouldering gym that got me started with climbing! Great staff, fun problems, and a nice community.

Fantastic experience: Super fun big boulding gym. All routes are set monochromatically. The routes were well set and for all ability levels. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering gym

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a few years now. Great and friendly staff. Best gym experience in northern Arizona.

Positive experience: Nice gym with a lot of bouldering routes. There were climbs for all levels of climbers. The lighting wasn't great in places and some of the holds are kind of old, but overall it was a nice place to climb.

Fantastic experience: Beta is easily the best bouldering gym in flagstaff and with the new expansion they just put in the opportunity to do yoga and have a full set of gym equipments has only elevated it.

Fantastic experience: My son had a blast! Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic experience: Pretty good place to wrestle some pebbles.

Fantastic experience: Good setting. Nice mats for landing. Fairly new holds. Workout area has beastmaker 2000 hang board and other stuff. Tension board is great. If possible can we get a decline bench haha. Pretty clean also.

Fantastic experience: Cool routes and nice people. Staff was very active cleaning the mats and tightening holds. Looks like a great kids program, too.

Fantastic experience: Awesome for bouldering and good precautions for Covid.

Fantastic experience: Decent spot. Love the bouldering. Hope it grows. People are nice and friendly. I am considering volunteering which sounds fun also.

Positive experience: The staff are super friendly, and the space has a cool set up but it is pretty dirty. The holds are greasy and coated in chalk, making even some of the easiest routes a real challenge. Definitely felt like climbing at an outdoor bouldering hotspot with the glassy holds. A pretty cool space, just needs a deep cleaning on the holds to make it more enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Beta Bouldering Gym has been out for a long time. I love this place all the kids I have ever coached really enjoyed the atmosphere as well. This gym has high quality routes and is highly knowledgeable within its field of work!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, clean facilities, very supportive climbing community, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Top notch place. I'm relatively new to climbing, only been at it for about 8 months, but I've been to quite a few gyms and Beta really stands out. Friendly and welcoming environment, regularly changing routes (they always make sure to accommodate beginning and less-talented climbers like myself with routes that are very manageable) and a STELLAR STAFF. Always really nice, helpful, and accommodating. I've sheepishly asked for advice on a route several times and they are always eager and happy to come give you tips, even demonstrating moves if it helps. More than that, they're all nuts about climbing themselves, so half the time you're there you'll end up climbing next to a staff member who is off-duty, and everything just feels like a nice little community instead of a business. Passes, especially the group ones, are absurdly affordable. Bathrooms, water, a regular gym area, and a gear section that almost certainly has what you might need rounds out this gem of a gym. The only (and I mean only; I wracked my brain trying to think of complaints) thing I would say they could work on is that some of the holds are showing their age and are quite worn down, making finding your footing difficult at times. But I imagine it's expensive to replace holds all the time, so I'm not 'holding' it against them. 10/10, would and will climb again. Overall, a great place and you should absolutely come climbing with

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Great for hangs and sends! Rad employees and I felt right at home doing something that was completly new to me! I purchased the winter pass last season which lasted 5 months and I used it frequently! I really miss going as I write this. Check them out! You will be happy you did!

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym, constantly rotating problems, and decently priced.

Fantastic experience: Really really cool place for kids or adults to burn off some energy. Small safe walls for the little ones and more challenging routes for beginner to expert climbers. Friendly employees too!

Fantastic experience: Great local indoor climbing/bouldering gym for Flagstaff! Would love to see a larger climbing facility in Flagstaff but there is limited commercial space and building to allow for this. For a gym this size, they try to maximize the building space and offer routes for beginners on up to advanced climbers, training areas and equipment for all levels, and they offer free classes for members such as yoga. Thank you Beta Bouldering for the kind staff too!

Fantastic experience: Nice setup for kids to

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym. Ask for Zack, He is the best coach.

Fantastic experience: Great sized gym with lots of problems to do that they reset fairly often! I like the way they grade the problems too. And the membership is the best part. When you sharing a membership with 3 other people, it's only $29 a month which compared to every other kind of membership out there, is a STEAL!

Fantastic experience: This is the rock gym you're looking for. It has been my home climbing gym for the past 5+ years and if you're going to pull on plastic, this is the place. Their staff actually genuinely care about both new and experienced climbers. They take customer comments to heart and frequently change up the routes/problems enough to keep things exciting. The workout areas, free yoga classes for members, and gear options are a great bonus.

Fantastic experience: We had an extra day after backpacking in the Grand Canyon and decided to spend some time bouldering in Flagstaff. Staff was super helpful getting us some gear and getting us out there. It made for a fantastic day.

Fantastic experience: Visited Beta for my first time bouldering. The staff were friendly, but busy for their competition to raise school supplies. But their members were very friendly and helpful. I will be buying a membership.

Fantastic experience: Good boulders, friendly people. If you are a boulderer this is the indoor place to go in Flagstaff.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great staff and great setting.

Fantastic experience: Great place to climb! The prices were very reasonable and I was greeted with a huge smile when I walked in. It was my first time and I wasn't sure what size shoe to put on, and the staff was so accommodating that I will only return to this gym to continue my bouldering journey.

Fantastic experience: Climbing primarily at focus climbing gym in phx, beta bouldering gym was a great experience. The monochromatic setup they use is extremely convenient and makes it a lot easier to see. Wish we were closer to flagstaff so we could climb here more often. Will definitely be back in the near future!

Fantastic experience: Really cool spot.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of route variety! We will be coming here again!

Fantastic experience: Needed a place to stop in for an hour or two while on vacation, and this was perfect. My upper limit is V3/V4 depending on the style of the problem, and there was more than enough to keep me busy (and tons of harder stuff that I had fun watching others tackle). Friendly staff, very clean, highly recommended. Wish it was in Michigan so I could visit more often!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Not intimidating for a first timer, very helpful staff and cool atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Awesome bouldering gym. Great total body workout. Clean environment. Friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great place for just bouldering! As a heavier, short out of shape guy who hadn't climbed in years, I really found the easy problems...well easy, which I needed. I'll be going back and hopefully making progress!
