Hangar 18 Indoor Climbing Gym - Rancho Cucamonga

Experiencia fantástica: Great Hangar 18 Climbing location. I really liked this Hangar 18 location. It is very spacious and clean. I also noticed that this one was very well-ventilated and didn't feel stuffy at all inside! The staff here is so friendly and I really enjoyed my experience here. It is good to note that this Hangar 18 is for Bouldering ONLY (i.e. no use of harnesses as you are only 10-12ft. off of the ground). The floor is all crash pads for when you fall. I personally enjoy bouldering a lot so I love that there are so many options. There are plenty of beginner friendly routes here too, so bring everyone!

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I had never climbed before, but the staff was very nice and knowledgeable. We had an awesome time...Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Good music and good vibes

Experiencia positiva: Not beginner friendly! I'm beginner/intermediate and can do most V2 routes, and some V3. I couldn't do a single V2 here (it was pretty discouraging) and I think I saw one V0 and maybe 2-3 V1's. Even the V0 was a bit more complicated than other locations I've been to. I'll be sticking with the Upland location until I am good enough to join the big boys here. There was a climber/employee who was updating a route while joining in with a group of experienced climbers. Makes me think that this gym have unknowingly catered itself to more advanced people. All the rocks were pretty worn in and you can tell because there's so much chalk residue and they're not grippy. Seems like this location takes awhile to change up their routes.

Experiencia fantástica: A good local climbing gym. Sometimes crowded and hot on summer days, it has consistent fresh sets and a welcoming crowd. The rates are very reasonable for a SoCal climbing gym
