Recently, I just gotten into rock climbing and my usual spot is at hangar 18 in orange. This location is mainly bouldering. If you're looking for some rope stuff, they offer those type at some other hangar 18 spots. I believe in Long Beach. The one in orange is a great spot for me and my friends to enjoy climbing. There's many different color themes to test your skills. There's a mini gym to workout as well. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to purchase the monthly pass during a holiday special for around 30 bucks. I believe the monthly is around 50 bucks and you can bring a friend once a month. Parking can get full and busy during certain time and days. Currently, you have to wear a mask to climb. Plenty of cool people to meet and talk about climbing. Everyone is nice and willing to help each other. Shoe rentals are also 3 dollars. I ended up purchasing shoes after going many times haha. Be sure to check them out! Great workout and fun activity. read more

Hangar 18 - Orange - Climbing Near Me - Orange, California

See all

This hangar 18 has gone to sh*t. Not only is there a line out the door most nights, but the amount of CUTTERS in line is unbearable. Every single day i see at least 5 people cut me in line during the 15-20 minutes I'm standing there. I've seen a group of four join a single person in line. I've seen people go out of their way to call their friends in the back to come up and join them in the front because they're "a group" now. It's so disrespectful to all the people waiting there to have to wait an additional 10 minutes in the cold every day because people don't have common decency and the workers don't enforce anything. I actually saw someone cut the entire line during peak hours and waltz right in after saying hi to their worker friends at the front desk. Like HUH?? The easiest solve could be putting up a damn rope and enforcing a first come first serve rule. read more

Josue thank you for your assistance over the phone. This employee was a delight to speak with.

I am new to the area and have only been to the Hangar 18 in Arcadia, so when I stepped into this location I was extremely surprised that it was large, spacious, relatively clean, and had long routes on a variety of walls. This gym can't be beat for the price of membership -- for anyone that is a student, this is the only acceptable place to go for your budget while still having a great experience. I am excited to make use of my membership at Hangar 18 -- Orange for the next few months! read more

Very cool place to try out! I've been here quite a few times and love it every time. Definitely a challenge and a good workout!

Clean place, friendly staffs and there are lots of levels. With $25 for daily pass with rental, it isn't that expensive with unlimited time.

Updating my review as the staff were helpful in finding ways to make the reservation system more flexible and convenient

BOULDERING ONLY. There's no top roping at this gym, but plenty of bouldering routes. Clean, spacious, bright, and staff is friendly. Parking can be a pain, so plan accordingly. read more

Hey everyone stop going to this gym and cancel your membership so I can find legit parking for once.

Parking is abysmal. Staff is cool, sets are cool but the parking is so bad that it tarnishes the other positives.

I started climbing last month, and this facility is amazing. All the people who work here are always incredibly kind and seem to really enjoy what they do. The routes are creative and there are a lot to check out. Parking can be a bit touchy at night, but outside of that this is an amazing place to climb. read more

Literally one of the worst run gyms ever. Shut down the gym for a day for the parking lot to get repaved, sent no form of communication via email to alert members their gym would be closed for the day. Constantly putting up new routes on weekends, the busiest time of the week, so there would be less climbs to go on while there being infinitely more people to have to deal with. The staff have the mental capacity of children with the way they run their gym. Excited to be canceling my membership soon! read more

I got sick and tested positive for COVID-19 last week after climbing at this gym. During session hours, capacity guidelines are followed, but between sessions, there can be well over 30 people inside at a time. Climbing holds are not cleaned between sessions and while temperatures are taken before entering the gym, regular hand sanitizing or handwashing is not enforced. This is a great gym and I love being a member of it. I'm writing this review as someone who wants this gym to continue being a place that I can come to for exercise in these crazy times, but the community needs to know that they are at risk if they continue to climb without stricter regulations. read more

First time being here. The first thing that bothered me was the worker that had checked us in. Her passive-aggressive attitude and tone was not welcoming to the slightest. Being a first experiencer to this place, I was already so disappointed by the first impression from the customer service of this place. Her name was Kasia I believe so. One of the few staff there. Besides that terrible interaction, the people there were so encouraging & kind, I loved the environment there. read more

This gym is purely for bouldering for all you climbers out there . Whenever I don ' t have a climbing buddy , I choose to go to this gym for convenience sake . Even though I go because it is closest to my house , nonetheless it is still a good gym . read more

Love climbing at Hangar 18! It has good variety of routes that changes every now and then. Price is very reasonable compared to other climbing gyms. I love the music they are blasting too! read more

Came here for the first time and was super excited because I love bouldering and this is an all bouldering gym. Reservations were all booked so my friend and I took a gamble on walk ins, unfortunately unsuccessful but we understood. My problem however is with the service provided by the employee at the front desk. His name was "josue" and he was rude and not helpful. We asked if there were spots open he said "no you missed them" and when we asked if people tend to be lucky waiting around for spots to open or not he goes "I don't know do what you want". Any questions asked were short answered and given with attitude. Climbing gyms usually have great energy so I was very disappointed to encounter this. After waiting an hour for any luck and seeing someone leave we hoped this would get us in so we re-entered in which he saw us waiting at the desk and continued walking around the gym making us wait then when we explained we saw someone leave he began asking us what they looked like and when (as if we were lying) and said no the guy that left didn't count. No apologies no decent service. I do not recommend having him deal with members. read more
