Groupon brought me here because the deal was too good to pass up. You get two all-day access passes, intro class to auto/manual belay, and bouldering for about $30. Pros: -Cheap AF...a yearly membership is something like $300 via Groupon -Friendly staff -Beginner friendly gym Cons: -Small gym -Gets packed with people and gets can really hot -Older facility -No locker room, shower room, or steam room -Not enough staff working at one time so if you have a question you'll need to wait your turn Overall, I think this gym is 5-star deserving, namely due to the price. This is a really barebones climbing gym that just has the essentials. read more

Super easy to book an intro class on Groupon. It was me and my friend's first time bouldering but we were able to get a class on a Friday night the same day. There was quite a bit of paper work, but once we started climbing it was super fun. Staff was helpful and had some spare chalk for me and my friend, and everyone there was really nice. Great exercise! read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

First of all: kristen is awesome ! She was super chill, funny and made it fun to learn and enjoy this experience for the first time. Tried this place out with a groupon. Came with a mini lesson , shoe rental, and all day climb pass. I learned that Tuesdays come out to like 12$ per person. So I def want to come back and do it. I'm afraid of heights but went all the way up to the top anyway. It's not that high so it's good for kids and beginners like me ! It took a lot of energy- a good workout! So I enjoyed it a lot! read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Made it to the top of the easy climbs hahaha - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

Groupon convinced me to get the 2 first class passes for $30. Aaaand then the staff at Hangar 18 convinced my boyfriend and I to get a membership. They're good. Staff is so friendly here! We were greeted by Gaston, who unfortunately doesn't work there anymore, and I'm sad about. But he made our first experience fun and safe, which made us want to continue. We ended up going 3 times within the first week, which is not recommended. Couldn't quite hold my phone or move my arms for the following week. With the membership, you can also bring a guest per month! Weekends are usually packed with people, and lots of children with parents from what I've seen so far so it's best to go during weekdays! There's also a sort of smell when entering... I'm guessing from the sweat and chalk and just natural ventilation from the wind, but it's not terrible that I have to plug my nose. I compare it to the odor of a gym, but with chalk mixed in. Okay, I'm making it sounds worse than it is, but it's that bad! I like that they switch up the routes every few weeks/month, it makes it less monotonous, especially for people who go quite often! Also the people who go are super friendly, and supportive in giving tips on how to master the route. It's great, love it, go try it, you won't regret it. read more

This is a fun place. It was my first time doing indoor rock climbing and not knowing what to expect. You can climb up by using all color rocks but if you like challenges, keep it to one color. It actually require some thoughts if you do only one color. This place doesn't seem to be for entry level though. They have two small areas with three walls/sides that have the the auto belay, many ropes belay. The larger area is all bouldering. Despite the level you're in, I believe if you enjoy rock indoor, you will like this place regardless. read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

My first climbing gym! Went with a couple friends to get a day pass, which we thought was $22 for some reason, but since some of us were first timers it actually was $35 for an initial day pass. ($22 for non first timers). Watched a safety video and signed some forms and rented shoes and we were on our way. The front desk worker was super nice and accommodating even though she was so busy (one girl was in charge of all the goings on in the gym). Place was bustling but they do have a limit to occupancy so even though we were walk-in we had space and didn't really have to wait to climb any routes. I don't know how level-headed my review can be since this is my first climbing gym but I do have to say I had a really great time! We all liked it enough to upgrade to monthly passes (which is honestly also worth it because it's only plus $9 to upgrade from the day pass and the contract is only to finish this month and then the next one). Parking is plenty, great area to grab food afterward, good service and nice people. Will be back! read more

I don't think I have ever left a bad review out of all my reviews on Yelp. Don't go here and don't spend your money here, Made a mistake on our class time for our belaying and the people there refused to do anything to help us out. They were open for another 3 hours and still would not help us , don't spend your money here. I don't know if all the locations are the same , I'm hoping this company is not this bad because they have a lot of locations read more

The staffs were super friendly and professional. It was my child's first time trying indoor climbing. We signed up for an intro class and the coach was super patient and encouraging. My child kept on trying new routes after the coaching, and didn't want to leave. It is such a great experience and fun for younger kids. read more

- intro to auto belay class the intro class is one of their staff going through some fundamental auto belay setup and letting you try a 5.7 route supervised. the staff were super nice and encouraging, and they were pretty patient as well. after the class, you're able to spend some time climbing independently and it was pretty fun. one note is that there are fans but no ac system so it gets a bit hot. - overall i ordered a $23 groupon deal for an intro to auto belay class. definitely worth! read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Pricing (6/12/21) - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

Overall, a decent place to boulder, not for beginners, old facility, but challenging climbs! Pros: +Price is reasonable ~ $18 + $3 shoe rentals and they do have Tuesday/Student/Monthly/Holiday/Groupon specials. +Hangar 18 has multiple locations. If you want a membership, this process gives you access similar to that of a gym. + Staff is really friendly, people are really nice, check-in process was easy to rent shoes & sign waivers on an iPad if you didn't sign previously online. +Cubicles located next to the gym & in the middle, so you can watch your items... no guarantees. +V0-V3 are pretty difficult, but smaller and shorter climbs. Therefore, it evens out! +Plan your route beforehand or else there might be another climber that might cross-over and they are fast AF! Cons: +Not so much for beginners, since it gets really crowded between 5-8pm on weekdays. After work hours, which makes sense. Maybe I'll come back during morning-afternoon afters if I'm in the area. +There is absolutely no A/C (a few fans above & on the exterior). + You have to be a bit aggressive to climb multiple times, but people gather and wait. Maybe have an actual conversation. +2 small bathrooms, no shower/steam room, small gym, and old. +I read that this location was under new management and I can see why. Definitely, should consider an upgrade and I would be happier to pay for a membership, but will come again! read more

Today was my first time climbing (ok, since back in 2001??). The staff is really nice and happy to answer questions. If you say it's your first time, there will be a quick lesson on bouldering to prevent injuries. I did not get to top rope today. This gym is clean and bright. The only other Hangar 18's I have only seen is Upland and Hawthorne Hangar 18's. This one is a little smaller than Upland, but it is bigger than Hawthorne. The thing that scared me about Hawthorne was it reeked of stinky shoes and made me want to puke when I worked in El Segundo. I thought all climbing gyms smell bad...a pleasant surprise, it was clean and I didn't smell any shoes at all in Arcadia. It was busy on Sunday afternoon, but not as bad as I thought. The people who come here are friendly and encouraging. (1 month update...the people help alot with great tips and rooting for you) I didn't expect much from myself since I do not regularly work out, except for hiking. I attempted 4 different V0 routes. I was able to do 3 of them to the top. It is somewhat of a mental challenge to figure out how to attempt a route. I fell off alot from lack of strength. I figured this is a sport that takes time to develop skill and strength. The thing I am most proud of today is I got to the top of some routes, and made some jump grabs, which I didn't know I could do. It is fun to surprise yourself. You can do it! :) 1 month update (i come once or twice a week), hands are much stronger, I was able to do V1 and V2s. So fun!! read more

My favorite climbing gym! Staffs are friendly Amazing! Always excited to go there for some new climbs read more

Was expecting to have a fun date night activity and it ended up not being what I thought it was. The rock climbing itself was very fun but the workers are not helpful. If you ask questions they brush you off or just straight up ignore you. I think it's definitely fun if you don't care about customer service than come here read more

Came here with a bunch of co-workers. It was a lot of fun! It's much more of a workout than I thought it would be. There is plenty of street parking and plenty of members coming in and out to climb. I even saw a little 4 year old put me to shame. The climbing is really fun and it uses a lot of upper building strength. There is no air conditioning just fans. The restrooms are clean, you just can't go in with your climbing shoes (the rentals they own). read more

I've climbed at Gyms all over Los Angeles County and Orange County. My wife and I also climb outside, weather permitting. It's important to find a convenient home gym in order to keep in shape and push your self to the next level. We moved from Long Beach to the San Gabriel Valley, and there wasn't anything out here until now. We had tried Stronghold, LA Boulders, and Hangar Upland. The first two are incredibly overpriced. It's like they think they have Sender One level gyms, and they simply don't. Hangar Upland was fine, but the drive didn't make sense for us. This gym just opened, so they're still getting things in line. They took over the old "Arc Climbing gym", and made it their own. It's right across the street from REI, so if you forget something, then you won't have to walk far ;) I'm sure they plan to make improvements along the way. It is mostly a bouldering gym. There are some top ropes at the entry to the gym, but the walls are only about 15-16' tall. There are 3 auto belay devices (it allows you to climb on rope without a partner). There is no lead climbing, and they don't plan to add it in the immediate future. All the holds are brand new, and the routes have a pretty good range (v0 - v7). For those in the LA area who are new to Hangar Gyms, they tend to be smaller than the "big name" gyms, but the level of climbing is usually great and so is the community. They have seasonal specials (and currently a grand opening special), but the regular monthly rate is only $36 a month and there is no initiation fee. We had fun, and will be back soon. I will update my review as time passes. Update: They've made improvements! The new industrial ceiling fan is great!! All walls are now full of holds, and they're re-setting on a regular basis. The range of climbing is now v0 - v10. I think they could use at least one or two VB climbs for the beginners. The new signage on the outside looks great! Overall, I am very happy with the improvements and I hope they keep it up! read more

This location is in a sort of warehouse-area across the street from the REI. I don't know if there's a dedicated parking lot but when the gf and I went on a Sunday afternoon, there was plentiful street parking. The gf had bought both of us Groupons which included climbing, rentals, and a belaying lesson. When we arrived, she showed the Groupon which clearly indicated what we would need and had been advertised/promoted quite heavily. I only say that because of the incompetence of the employee who helped us. We arrived at about 2:50 p.m., because when we had called ahead we had learned that the belaying lessons are every hour on the hour, starting at 11 a.m. and on Sunday ending at 5 or 6 p.m., and so we made it a point to arrive in time for the 3:00 p.m. belaying lesson, with a bit of extra time to get our rental gear. We asked for shoes, and I asked for a size 7 and as she handed me my shoes she indicated that I should also sign in for the liability waiver or something (I had already registered via the little iPad devices at the counter.) I turned to start entering my information when she took my shoes and started to walk them over to the shoe return area, all the while talking to another employee. I waved and said "excuse me excuse me!" several times trying to get her attention as she had just taken away my shoes without my wearing them, but she was too distracted with her conversation and proceeded to put my shoes on the other side of the counter. Eventually she heard/saw me and I said, "Oh, those were my shoes and I haven't put them on yet! May I have them? You just put them on the other side," and oddly, instead of just apologizing and grabbing them from the other side of the counter she just shrugged and asked me my size. I said I'm a Size 7 and she picked up another pair and said, "here's a 7.5." and I said, "but I'm a 7 and my shoes are just, just right over there!" and she shrugged and turned to speak to her colleague again. I was pretty confused at the interaction and wore the 7.5's at her insistence. Next we stood and waited again to ask for our harness. She was talking to the same colleague with her back toward us and the colleague she was turned to could see us but they just talked and talked and we kept waving and saying, "Excuse me" but they both ignored us to talk while the two of us just stood there in our shoes with no harnesses. Finally, after repeated calling out to her, she turned around and we said, "Can we have harnesses?" and she was like, "oh, you need those? okay" and handed them to us, and my girlfriend tried to explain again that we were there with the Groupon for the rentals and lesson. Once we got her attention again we asked about the lesson, and she seemed exasperated and was like, well, this guy can help you (the one she was talking to, a young man with glasses, who sort of shook his head), or ... that guy is giving a lesson right now. I guess you can jump into that if you'd like." The gf and I were pretty surprised at how dismissive and rude she was, given how much effort we had made to be there on time and to get the lesson right on the hour, and how we were almost literally chasing her around and begging for her to accommodate our seemingly simple and routine request. The gf was practically fuming, but the instructor/employee whose session we "jumped in" on was so nice and helpful that she calmed down. This guy was very young, blond, with the top of his hair pulled back in a man-ponytail and looked a bit like Legolas from the Lord of the Rings movies and is pretty much the ONLY REDEEMING CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE to prevent this from being a 0-1 star review. He was helpful, articulate, and knowledgeable, and gave the impression of caring about our well-being. 4/5 stars for the value of the Groupon and the Groupon $5 month special offered afterward 3/5 stars for the gym itself, as it's about 2/3 bouldering and only 1/3 climbing 1/5 stars for the young woman who "helped" us, young with dark thick hair, possibly wearing a college sweatshirt 5/5 stars for the young Legolas instructor who showed us the ropes read more

Stopped by yesterday on the first day of their reopening to start up a monthly membership. Gym was very clean which was appreciated given the current ongoing pandemic. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, especially the manager Kellin (hope I spelled that right). Would definitely recommend this location, and this chain of climbing gyms, to anyone looking for a good bouldering or top rope session. read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

First time it was cool. I just need to learn the colors and stuff. Didn't understand how to climb.

Will give no star if it allows me. Wasting people's time by not explaining fully about their rules. Requesting people to wear masks when employees were not wearing it. Horrible experience! read more

Damn! Just nailed some V1 I have been struggling with and can't say how much fun I had in this gym. The manager Kellen is awesome. He will help you with everything. The stuff here are super nice. Luke is sooooo awesome he will show you and teach you very patiently and he matches his socks and shirts really well! Haha. Christian and Jeremy are all so friendly and helpful. People here have good vibes and I learned so much here! Especially from pros like CJ and Luke. The gym is small but hey you are going to have a lot of fun and share happy experiences with nice people. I recommend 100%. read more

Ok, so rock climbing, or bouldering, or whatever the heck this is, seems to be gaining momentum in recent years, and I know at least one person in my life that is CRAZY about this dangerous sports. (Yes, they mentioned several times in their orientation process that, indeed, there're real perils in participating. So do play safe!) So today, I am seeing what the fuss is all about. The venue choice was made by someone else who's been dipping her foot into the water of this activity for maybe, 2-3 times, though this was her first time using this particular facility as well. (I believe Hangar 18 has more than 1 location, it seems?) For myself, however, I'm a completely new virgin. I didn't know what to expect, and at certain points, became scared of all the safety warnings they threw at me. But it turned out pretty fun!! First of all, they offer a great gateway package: You can buy a Groupon for $30 that grants admission for you, AND 1 of your friends, for the entire day. This even includes shoes and harness rental, and a simple lesson (no more than 10 minutes long, really, just a glorified demo) before you're sent off on your own. For anyone who's interested, and dunno what to expect, $15 is an awesome price point--very little money to commit, and try it out for a whole day! Again, great bargain. Also, since I was completely new to this, I could only speak on courses that are marked super easy and super beginners friendly (the ones I did, in short); and since I only chose the auto-belaying courses, my review is somewhat limited to those experience as well. And they were just fine! Quite fun, and there's definitely a sense of accomplishment after climbing all the way to the top. And oh! Auto belaying describes a device that would essentially automatically prevent you from falling down from high places, and it was easy to learn its operation. I'm very glad they provided these amenities. (Must be an industry's standards? I suppose?) Of the activities I participated in, they were challenging enough that I didn't feel bored at all in the 1.5 to 2 hours I was there for the day. (Though all-day admission was purchased, my forearms gave out long before the day was over, lol. This was an intensive sports, despite how seasoned players seem to make it look like. There's even a 6-yo girl that did way better, and was way more fearless, than I was.) However, I do want to mention that, this gym isn't great in size, and majority of the area was occupied by more advanced courses, so the selection was only modest, if you're not looking to "graduate" to more difficult activities any time soon. My friend who's been to other rock climbing options before also mentioned that she did not find this particular branch's courses to be especially enjoyable. (She'd actually recommend other branches, if this means anything to fellow Yelpers and climbers.) An added bonus was of all the fellow patrons that I saw visiting, many of the (male) customers had exceptional physique, and it was very motivational for me to aspire to become the same in the near (or, realistically, distant) future. It just felt very different from visiting a traditional gym (the likes of 24 Hour Fitness), where it just isn't as fun to witness all other people lifting weights, and subsequently hearing their weight plates falling loudly to the ground. Here, I watch people basically becoming Spider-man and gaining muscles in the process. I wanna be the same! Well, one day! Some random, but useful notes: this gym doesn't offer lockers, only cubbies where you can just leave your stuff around. It's an honors system, and you're not guaranteed that your belongings won't be lost or stolen... so, do keep that in mind. Also, the tiny-butt parking lot nearby just wasn't cutting it. I'd recommend searching for street parking instead. (We did use the tiny parking lot for this visit, but it was a relaxing Saturday morning, so foot traffic to surrounding businesses wasn't picking up yet. I can only imagine the horror of coming here during rush hours, though.) I'd give it 4 stars for my own visit, though I have a feeling that I'm being somewhat generous due to my lack of prior experience, and the unbeatable price. read more

Came here for the first time and oof it was challenging. I only got up two of the EASIEST climbs that kids were doing HAHHA but yes it is extremely hard and your arms and fingers get soooo tired. I only did bouldering which is the climb without the rope. It can be scary to jump down if you get to the top but most of the time you(me) fall when you're barely 3 feet up hahahahahahahha I can tell that a lot of people come here regularly and are pros so if you are a newbie like me I recommend coming earlier like 2-4 to not have a crowd watching you as you fail. every. time. hahahahah. 4 instead of 5 stars because I think the labeling on some are wrong. Many of them were listed as v0 or v1 but doooood they were not v0/v1 HAHAHAHA Staff was friendly and helpful but another downside is that there is no AC but many fans around. It can get hot but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'm writing this review the next day in bed holding up my phone and my arms are sooooo sore I can barely hold it up read more

Johnathan and Ari went above and beyond. Ari: I am an avid climber, but I mostly boulder, so when I needed a brief refresher on how to belay, Ari explained it in a very nice way and also encouraged the kid I was belaying. She's genuinely helpful. Johnathan: He was very helpful and even did something to help me that most people wouldn't do (search the trash for my credit card ‍‍‍) There was also another dude who gave us Band-Aids but I didn't get his name. Overall, the staff was great :) read more

Small, but it packs a good climbing punch. Yes, there are some ropes, but we came for the boulders. Route setting here was creative with some fun dynos and challenging climbs. It's quaint and full of charm. We were surprised how quickly it filled up at opening, it clearly has a dedicated local base. read more

Over my winter break, I wanted to try my hand at rock climbing. I decided to stop by on a Tuesday for their 2 for 1 deal ($36 total, 18 per person) which is a great value compared to any other bouldering gyms in the area. The membership includes access to any of their other Hangar 18 locations and 1 guest pass every month. I've been to the Mission Viejo location, Long Beach location, and Upland location and while this location may not be the biggest, I would say it's more beginner friendly and great for bouldering. They change up the routes every Wednesday which keeps things interesting. However, if you're looking for top-roping and auto-belays, you may be better off at the upland or long beach location. My only issue with this place is it gets ridiculously hot in the summer which quickly becomes a sauna due to the lack of ventilation going on aside from a fan in the back. The nice thing about hangar 18 is they offer free top rope lessons/certification every hour and have some of the most friendly staff. Arie (sorry if I spelled the name wrong) the manager is super cool and friendly. She is more than happy to help any new climbers get started. read more

OMG I can't believe what I endured. The atmosphere amazing! Staff amazing! Music amazing! Kind, funny, and fun inviting front staff (two young men)So encouraging. Love climbing here. read more

PROS: - friendly staff - check online for their weekly/holiday day-pass/membership specials! - autobelays (on a few top-roping problems) - really technical routes that make you focus a lot on your foundational climbing skills - a decent range of routes for both beginner and advanced climbers - Hanger membership is VERY affordable, especially compared to places like Sender One, Touchstone and Stronghold - right next to REI so if you forget anything you can just go buy something haha Cons: - can be very hot during warm days, because no A/C. - climbing walls are a bit old - sometimes difficult to down-climb, wish there were down-climbing holds because the floor is a bit hard. - top-roping walls not very tall or exciting for experienced climbers, more suited for kids and first-timers - gym is a bit small and dingy read more

Couple things that this place need improvements. I was excited to visit & do a class for the first time. But from the phone call and when I got there, front desk employee was rude (black dude with nose piercing). It held me back from doing my experience here. Parking -- good luck, the lot is tiny. Imagine peak hours, you'd have to park somewhere else. Lastly, it's crowded because the facility itself is a remodeled tiny warehouse. I recommend going somewhere else if you can. read more

I am glad that the "arc, " now known as Hanger 18, is back. The staff is very nice and friendly and willing to help you if you have any questions you may have. I like the problems that they set. They set a new wall every Wednesday. The people who go there are usually very friendly and helpful. I am shorter than most people so it's nice having someone help you with a possible beta. The gym is also a lot cleaner than it was before and I am so glad you no longer have to drag a mat over every time you climb. If you're interested in climbing and you don't like it crowded go before 5:30 on a Tuesday or a Thursday. Monday and Wednesday are usually busier than Tuesday and Thursday. read more

This used to be the Arcadia Rock Climbing (ARC). Some of the staff here are still from ARC. If you look up ARC on yelp, it was rated 4 stars. Hangar 18 comes in and improves the whole place, puts a mat under all the walls to make it safer, lowers the prices drastically (from $70 to $36 a month), extends the hours it is opened, and then give you membership to all the Hangar 18's. That is the reason I rated it a 5 star because Hangar 18 did everything to improve this place. However, if you are a Hangar 18 customer and you visited the many other Hangar 18, then you will find this one disappointing. It's just that the other Hangar 18 are so much nicer. This one is has the best location since its near all the action in Arcadia, but it is smaller than the other ones. However, I'm NOT disappointed because the rent in Arcadia must be crazy high so I understand. I'm still totally thrilled that they put this Hangar 18 in this area. My biggest concern is if they can make this place profitable for such a low membership price. read more

Brought my 12 year old and friends for a birthday party and it was off the chart! Great options for the girls to climb for all levels. The employees were interactive and very helpful. We can't wait to go back! read more

Hangar 18 - Arcadia - Rock Climbing Near Me - Arcadia, California

Bought the membership for the summer and have to say I'm not that satisfied. Biggest complaint: where is the water fountain? It really sucks not having accessible water without having to pay every time. there is also no gym or weights which makes it difficult and inconvenient for many people who also want to lift/run/work out + climbing. Today, I had brought a friend in with a guest pass and as he was climbing and holding onto a volume, IT COMPLETELY FELL OFF THE WALL. Is that his fault? No. I would blame the gym for not screwing in the volume tightly. But I understand that mistakes happen. But I was more upset about how the staff handled the situation. They asked once or twice if he was alright, but none of them ever said sorry for it happening. Felt like it was more of a burden for them to take care of the accident. There was also no sense of compensating him for the incident. Pretty sure my friend asked if they had water after his fall from about 6ft from a loose enough volume and they still wanted to charge him for the water. Like just give it to him! No sense of wanting to repay for what happened but maybe that's just me. Definitely not the biggest fan of this gym but the walls get the job done because of ease of location for me so they get 2 stars. read more

this place LOOOOVES its sideways and upside-down jugs lol the grading is a bit harder than other hangar18s in the area, esp for v1s for some reason. not terrible, just a bit confusing or frustrating at times. overall its a small but cozy space and the staff is really friendly too :) read more

I tried indoor rock climbing in May and June this year up North with my son. Since I enjoyed both times so much, I decided to join a rock climbing gym. I like this place a lot because it's close to my house, clean, and staffs are so helpful. My only complain is that they have too few beginner's walls to solve and they have the TARGETS way too high for newbies - same height for all levels. Since they had that Father's Day Special, a lot of people of all ages signed up. My humble suggestion is that they should set up more VBs and VOs to keep their new members motivated to renew their membership. A lot of people are easy to give up and not to have that gruesome 48 hours delay soreness (PAIN for some if you don't ever work out). If I am not a stubborn person and enjoyed my accomplishments when I climbed twice successfully, I will not renew my membership once my one month is over. I know it was totally my fault. I felt down 5 times at a V1 when I was close to the top and can't climb myself down and felt hard. Thank God I practice martial arts and know how to fall. I do have to take 8 days off from climbing because I twisted my ankle but I am going tonight. Never give up. read more

Tyler and Jordan could not have been more supportive and encouraging to my eight-year-old twins during their bouldering class! Wonderful atmosphere and welcoming to young climbers! read more

Friendly staff. Great for climbers new to the sport. We tried the upland location because it was closer to home. Big mistake - the person checking in was checked out. There were only two auto belays but the difficulty was 5.11. The Arcadia has more auto belays with less difficult level. read more

I really love this gym it's clean, nice environment, and always switching up to keep things fresh. I felt compelled to write a review after reading a ridiculous review below and feel as a person in the service industry we should have hard working businesses' backs. Please do not be like the gal Melissa down below and feel you are entitled to order staff around after you failed to note your time. Idk what it is rn but any industry requiring service is going through a surplus of entitled customers. So if any of you were dissuaded by homegirl's inability to get her way let me clarify. This gym is a GREAT PLACE. If you come into an establishment and act entitled no one feels compelled to help you. Please take the chance to visit this gym the belay classes are amazing. read more

Here's The Video I Took That Day: [Roping Tips] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnCIWfBsbtg Came here for the $10.00 deal, but I didn't like the idea of signing up for a membership with my cc. I ended up canceling the membership afterward, otherwise, my cc will automatic be charged for each month. I'm worry that I was going to get a runaround trying to cancel my membership. Good thing that I'm able to cancel my membership no problem. I figured I won't be coming here every month, so signing up for one month is good enough for me. The staffs here are very helpful as you could see in the video. I asked, if I could bring a guest to hang around and not climb. They said yes. My guest just need to sign a waiver. If you decided to bring a guest, it is always better to ask first. The reason for one star off has nothing to do with the staff. It would be nice to have more flexible options to admit in. In my case, I would like to just pay for one month and try it out for a month. I would like to have a short term membership without having to bind my cc with it. Sadly, I took the $10 for one month deal, but because I canceled early, I don't get to climb for a month. Another reason for one star off; the climb is not as high as their other location. First time here, the gears for climbing is free. You can bring your own gears. I don't know if this offer is still good, should ask anyway. Parking is ok. It could get full or plenty of space. Seem like they have their own parking lot. Enjoy! read more

It's a bit small compared to the other Hangar 18's I've been to, but that's pretty much the only minor complaint I have. This is a new gym location, and it's very clean in comparison to the one in Upland and Rancho (those are the ones I regularly go to). The location is great too (although I'm a bit far from Arcadia, I still make the drive to this place on the weekends just because I enjoy it. The other two places I've mentioned are kind of hidden). read more

Great gym for the price of $36 a month. I attended this gym from June 2018 to December 2018 and the routes are always challenging! I've had a lot of growth during this period thanks to that. I also was climbing frequently with another friend which definitely helped with my growth in my technique. There is the slightly overhung wall that has small holes, which I find is one of the most challenging walls. I've had a lot of fun here. Looking forward to coming again! read more
