The bouldering section is kinda small but they have a huge top-roping and lead-climbing section…read more That section also includes auto-belay in which they made you undergo a belay test with the gri-gri but you aren't allowed to teach yourself right beforehand. Off to the side, they have a 2nd floor for kid/toddler sized bouldering and 3rd floor for working out, campusing, and moon boards. The locker rooms were huge and clean. The parking lot is really small and you might have better luck street parking if it gets busy.

Awesome facility. Nice and clean. Friendly staff, great procedures & amenities…read more A group of co-workers went climbing last night, with ranging skill ability. I've been to a number of climbing gyms, including dedicated bouldering places. Momentum is nice. A few notable things: 1. Safety video on your first visit. Easy and informative. 2. Hand washing station OUTSIDE of the bathrooms. Very very handy, and much more hygienic than people in bathrooms with climbing shoes on. 3. Downclimb holds are abundant with few exceptions. This made me feel safer bouldering since I'm more experienced rope climbing and don't like jumping down. The padding was nice and thick as well, without being pillow-y, if that makes any sense. 4. I would appreciate some grip bars or additional holds at the top of the bouldering section that let you more safely climb over the top. There were a few places where I had to basically throw my body onto the top in order to safely make it over (and then walk over to the downclimb sections). I suppose some of this is a skill challenge but some of it made nervous. The grading seemed pretty fair. I maxed out at V4 which I thought was pretty good. The weight lifting area is nice and I liked that there was a separate room for cardio. No comments on restrooms, classes, or the cardio equipment since I didn't use any of them.

My family and I have had mixed experiences at this gym. As a family, most of the staff is very…read morefriendly and inviting to families with young children. However, we have experienced multiple negative interactions with the Manager, Jeremy Park. We felt that he selectively came out to speak with my family about policies of the gym, (other patrons were doing the same exact thing, but he did not address them about the exact same policies). We are not sure if it is because we are people of color, or just that fact that we have kids with us, but we do not feel comfortable when he is present at the gym. He single handedly makes the entire experience at the gym negative. There are many times, that we select days that he is not working so that we did not have to feel targeted, while being paid patrons at the gym with our family. We do like the other staff (we have never had any issues with any other employee) and the services that they provide. We hope this is not a consistent feeling that other families receive as well. In the future, we will be switching to another gym like bouldering project or vertical world, that is more inclusive to families. We hope this provides some insight for other families to make decisions on where they will take their children for a positive experience, so they get to love climbing as much as we do.

This location is smaller and has less amenities than the original Poplar location…read more It's still wonderful and perks is it's in the central Fremont area where there are tons of places to work to before and after your bouldering session / workout! There is no giant parking lot like their is at the Poplar location. I'd say the punch packs and memberships are on the expensive side but it works at all the locations (there is a new one in U District I haven't been too!). I usually get the 10-punch pass for almost $300 after tax.

I…read morevisited during Seattle workout week and booked my reservation through Gymki app. The check in process took few minutes but rentals were included in the pass. The staff gave quick and helpful briefing. And despite Sunday, it didn't feel so packed and overwhelming. For the beginners and first timers it was a great studio to try. I climbed for ~2 hours and never got bored. It has large bouldering area and multiple walls. The routes were creative and kept me intrigued. The falls are safe on their cushion mat. This place also has a full fledged gym but I didn't try that side. Overall great vibe and great way to get full body workout channeling your core, upper body, overall flexibility and mobility! I'd def come back

The UW Bouldering Rock has alot of history behind it. Around way before we had "climbing gyms"…read more Some of the all-time greats have put their time on 'the rock' and every so often you run into one. It's free. It's right along the lake, so there's a welcome breeze on a nice sunny day. The slab is a great way to practice for all those runout slab climbs in Squamish and Darrington. There's even a 'just a little too high for comfort' pillar that you may want to risk on day's when you're feeling dialed in. But use the anchors too to climb any section. It's a pretty simple rock. It's up to you to think up an infinite number of ways to climb it, traverse it, and tune into your mind/body connection as you climb it. Many parts of it are actually quite challenging. If you are a student or staff member who climbs, this is THE PLACE to spend your lunch breaks. It's a secret gem tucked just out of the way to discourage the crowds. Don't tell anyone.

Bring a jacket for the 5-minute walk. Too many team/comp events. It seems like 1 out of 4 times I go, a large portion of the gym is closed due to competition or team training. Yesterday, half of the bouldering area was closed for comp setting. I wish their calendar posted notices of areas being closed like this.

Having no climbing experience, I thought it was challenging but fun and totally do-able. Besides skydiving, this was my second favorite activity so far in Washington. The session kicks off with a safety overview and a practice climb up 30 feet before moving onto the next tree. Depending on the pace of your group, you could climb up to 3 trees in one session. At no point do you feel any pressure to have to climb all the way to the top. You can stop anytime and just "hang out" or descend to the ground. The guides are very helpful and patient. The equipment is checked multiple times to ensure everyone's safety. Make sure to bring some snacks, water, and a camera. You might get lucky and spot some bald eagles like we did.

There's a reason why I keep coming back to Kaf guides. If you can dream it, they will help you do it! They are willing to work with you on designing the trip you want, they meet you where you are skill and fitness-wise, they are open to feedback, they are kind, patient and fair. I've been lucky to ice climb, crack climb, learn trad and rock rescue, practice avalanche rescue, and dial in my multipitch skills all with the Kaf crew. Even if you're more than just a beginner, you'll benefit from learning from highly skilled and experienced professionals whose passion for what they do is really evident. Their excitement is infectious, and you'll often find yourself in awe of their technical abilities and movement. Watching them in their element is a gift. They make sound decisions to keep you and themselves safe from the many objective dangers in the wild. They'll celebrate the smallest of wins with you, and offer encouragement and support to keep trying. I've heard that you shop for a guide, not a guide service, and this is really true once you get to know this team. Special mention to Woody who has guided me for 90% of it - about 130 hours to date! His problem-solving skills are so impressive and there is no guide I trust or respect more. And Mick who is the heart and soul of Kaf. Mick will have you smiling all through the online courses which are an excellent way to dip your toe into the world of climbing and mountaineering. I'm so excited for more adventures with Kaf in the years to come.
