Sender One Climbing & Sender City - Santa Ana

Positive experience: I visited Sender One to boulder while visiting Orange County. It’s an ok gym, I would be reluctant to get a membership here but great for a visit! Pros: — definitely catered to kids/new climbers. The kid area was really cute — Decently sized gym, variety of climbs Here’s some feedback I have: — They were renovating the bathrooms and had two all-gender restrooms open. They were kinda dirty, didn’t feel super clean. There was pools of water on the bathroom floor which felt kinda bad haha — The mats are kinda hard compared to other gyms. They don’t have much bounce and I didn’t feel comfortable climbing to the top of walls and falling from that height. My friend was saying that the actual padding thickness seemed thinner than his gym too. I’m used to sinking into a mat as I walk — def felt more stiff than that! — It’s extremely hot. I wish they had more fans. I’ve never felt hot climbing at other gyms but was legit sweating through my pants!! They had some small fans around the space but they were turned off. — I wish they specified two hand start vs one hand start. — I wish they put their climbs on KAYA so I can track >:)
