Boulders Climbing Gym - East

Positive experience: Overall, I love both Boulders locations. The downtown one is a bit more modern, which the east location is quite a bit more dated, despite the recent renovations. There is quite a bit of bouldering, which lots of different wall types and the mats are a medium hard. There is a back room with a more modern setting style and modern walls (soft of a comp set of the week type of thing) as well as training equipment. The top rope is great, and there is also a bit of lead climbing. There are multiple auto-belay systems if that's what you're looking for. Great space for kids and very well laid out overall. My biggest complaint is really just the old walls, and hard mats. Staff is great, and I always love making the trip to the east gym.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time! Staff was super friendly and encouraging. Very safe and welcoming environment

Positive experience: Lots of routes, all graded in a range. Seemed like the grades were fair. A higher number of auto-belays than I would expect from a smaller gym, and they covered a wide range of grades. The tape/color system took a bit of getting used to, and sometimes tape was missing from start or finish holds. It's cool that you can boulder the starts of most of the rope routes. Only real down-sides I could see were the lack of lockers, and the fact that the rope walls are really short. Like, not even twice as tall as the boulders. Fair pricing, thanks for a fun morning!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym. Lots of cool improvements over pandemic like new padding and auto-belays. Proof of vaccination required.
