I had a very disappointing experience at Red Rock Climbing Center. My family and I visited Tuesday night for the first time to celebrate my brother's birthday, and what should have been a fun outing quickly turned uncomfortable. I was at the front desk filling out waivers on my phone in one hand and holding my 1-year-old daughter in the other. A staff member approached us in a very rude and condescending manner about my 7-year-old "running under people," saying he made someone feel "infuriated." While I understand safety is important, this was his first visit and he was simply excited and once he saw the bouncy floors he automatically assumed it was like a trampoline park. Keep in mind we had to stay put for shoe fittings and harness's for my three boys while having my hands full. The issue wasn't being informed--it was how it was handled. The same staff member then told my mother, "this is not a daycare where you can just drop your kids off," which was completely unnecessary and inappropriate. At the time, I had briefly stepped out to my car to change my baby, and my children ages (7, 10, 15) were being supervised by their grandmother and aunt. Because of this interaction, I felt so uncomfortable that I stayed in my car for the remainder of the visit. We paid $75 for an experience we didn't even get to fully enjoy. We will not be returning and we do not recommend this place. Going by other negative reviews I am not the only one who had a bad experience with the same individual. read more

Pretty sweet home grown climbing gym that's definitely continuing to expand. Rope section is primarily lead and auto belay, so definitely keep this in mind if you are planning to top rope. They do have some top ropes set up, but they were pretty far from the wall so you are probably just better off doing auto belay. The rope section is darker than the bouldering sections. I am colorblind and had a difficult time differentiating the color holds on the wall. Bouldering sections were a bit easier to tell apart. Overall, happy with my climbing experience here and may check it out next time I'm in the area. read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - Main floor - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Came to red rock climbing with a friend. I've been very into bouldering. The facility is quite small and I would say probably half is rock climbing and the other half bouldering. I would say conditions are not optimal. For bouldering, the different routes are intertwined and so sometimes kind of confusing to see the path and also where it ends. I think they set it up this way so that the route can be complete half way for non advance climbers but also offer advance climbers the option to climb higher. The bottom footing holds where you start can be very spotty, feels like some have just fell off. Otherwise I felt that the v0-2 were more beginner and shortie friendly than at the refuge because I am 5'2 beginner and I couldn't really climb anything at the refuge whereas I could at red rock. The rock climbing was auto belays and it was a bit scary since it goes pretty quick down. read more

I love coming to this climbing gym! It's a great "one size fits all" since they offer both bouldering and trad/sport routes. The first floor offers both options (bouldering and trad) mixed in, so you don't have to abandon your friends if they want to do the opposite of you. The second and third floors are strictly bouldering--they also have a cool cave area and traverse set up! The fourth floor is mystery to me because I hate doing stairs...just kidding! There's a moon board and also equipment to warm up. Every Monday/Tuesday an older section is swapped up and updated as well. This keeps things fresh and interesting--you won't run out of routes or ways to challenge yourself! They offer rentals for cheap--or there's a gear store next door basically if you're ready to commit to your own shoes, harness, etc. They also offer a variety of lessons--ask the front desk to see a description of the classes if you're interested (or check out their website)! Monthly cost of my membership is super cheap and reasonable in my opinion--$55 or $60 (I forget) on auto-draft. A day pass is $17 and I come in 2-6 times a week, so it is definitely worth it!!! They also offer punch cards (10 visits I think) and some specials--Mondays are 1/2 off for ladies, and Fridays are free for members to bring a friend who has never been before. Lastly, the smaller floor area can be off putting for some folks. I think it's one of the best things about R2C2 though. The closer proximity to folks means you're having more interactions and meeting some great people! Definitely a great spot to blow off some steam, challenge yourself, get a workout on, or socialize with some cool folks! read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - Beats a regular gym - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Suck a fun indoor rock climbing center with both bouldering and rock climbing areas. Staff was extremely helpful. Even with booking a drop in ticket the girl at the desk gave us a mint tutorial on how to use the equipment, levels of difficulty by colors, and explained bouldering sections. It was nice to get that walk through. I would come back in the future! It's also a fun way to push yourself if you have a fear of heights. read more

I went to Vegas to explore some new rock climbing gyms. Red Rock Climbing Center was a planned stop. Price was reasonable, signing the waiver was expected, but I ended up parking on the street due to the limited spaces in the parking lot. Once inside there were numerous lead climbing routes and several bouldering areas. Unfortunately several of the bouldering areas had lead climbing routes above them. There were a couple of groups that included young kids that were constantly playing directly under people trying to climb the various routes. Shame on the parents for not watching and being aware of their kids. I would have liked to see the staff take a more proactive approach and at least reminded the parents of their responsibility to supervise their kids and keep them out from under other climbers. It's a climbing gym, not a playground. The 2nd floor was all bouldering and I spent more time up there. While relatively small there were several routes there that I could manage. Having multiple routes using the same holds identified by pieces of tape was a little confusing for me. I'm used to all of the holds being the same color as the start holds making visual identification easier, especially for foot holds looking down from above. The flip side is that RRCC has many more routes available in the same space due to the cross utilization of holds for multiple routes. Maybe I just caught the RRCC on a bad day with the kids running around, it was a Saturday and I generally try to climb on week days to avoid the crowds. I would come back the next time I am in Vegas. read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - Street sign - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

First timer at this gym and it did not disappoint! I have my own shoes, so I only rented a harness, which was $5, and a day pass was $17. If you want to rent shoes, they are $5, or you can get a harness and shoes for $8. They have a huge main room with a large bouldering wall, I believe 6 auto belays, and a few regular belay ropes. I did a couple of the auto belays and they are varying difficulty levels. There is an upstairs area with varying levels of difficulty bouldering walls, and a training room that I wasn't able to get to while I was here this time. The gentleman who talked over everything with us was very helpful and very nice, and the equipment was all well maintained. The place was pretty busy, but it was 6:30 on a weekday so that's understandable. The vibe was super fun and everyone was super friendly and fun. read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - Main room - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

First time trying out a climbing gym in Vegas and it was a lot cheaper than compared to those in LA, as expected. The belay area looks pretty spacious and a lot taller than I was used to. The bouldering areas are mostly on the second and third floors with a bit on the first floor. The second and third floors are quite cramped so everyone kinda has to space out a bit between the floors for there to be room. The part I disliked the most was the way they identify the holds. They don't really use the color of the holds but rather tape next to them and one hold can be for multiple routes. I think I'm just not used to it and had to spend a lot of time on the wall trying to figure out which one I can use which wasted time and my limited finger/forearm strength :') I understand they are able to have more routes this way but it gets kinda frustrating sometimes. A solid climbing gym and would probably return when I'm back in the area but if there are bigger ones out there, I would prefer that. read more

Decent climbing at this gym. I come from climbing in Colorado and I think the grades here were a bit soft. Routes were good though and the walls were stuffed, no issues there. Lots of space, floors, variety, super friendly staff. Pretty good community here it seems too. For anyone who starts climbing here, don't be discouraged when you go to a gym out of state, don't invest your skill level into the grade you climb, just do your best! read more

I visited this place over the weekend and I was underwhelmed. The staff was distant at best still rocking a mask. The facility is confusing and has a unsafe feeling to it. The routes are not accurate. Their system is completely off. It's one of those places where a new climber with upper body strength can hit V3-V4s. Maybe this gym has a cool community, but it didn't seem like it. Everyone kept to themselves like if you're into dying hair and liberalism. This might be your place to each their own. read more

Did I have fun at Red Rock Climbing Center? Short answer is yes. Here comes the long answer. My brother became a passionate climber by taking lessons and simply climbing with people who love to monkey up indoors and outdoors and he kind of influenced four of us to try indoor climbing at Red Rock Climbing Center. When you check in, you sign the waiver on the tab and pay $25 to rent out climbing shoes and gears to buckle you up. There are many climbing options depending how good you think you are at climbing with or without harness. I am quite physical but I prefer with harness for the reason of safety being a beginner at climbing. Before you even start thinking of climbing, they will lessen you with basic techniques and safety percussion. And there are many experienced climbers who are there to assist you. It's truly full body workout. So let's get ready and up! read more

Cooper was very helpful and friendly! Took the time to assist my first time. Easy check in process, friendly environment

As an avid rock climber, I'm always looking for new spots to climb especially when Red Rock gets rained on! The gym is in super close proximity to red Rock and includes showers in it's facilities. I'm glad I finally got to try this place out for the first time today. Michael helped me out and was great in representing the gym! As I've come to expect from the climbing community the vibe in the gym is super friendly and full of stoke! Plus the insane lead cave is the first room you walk into which sorta just adds to the stoke. The climbing: I didn't go on any ropes or autobelays today; strictly stuck to bouldering. As far as grading goes for boulders they seem to be fairly consistent with each other (atleast V1-V8) which is great to see. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but it's worth commenting that the routes are taped and the holds don't match color. Just food for thought! But I quickly got used to the change so no big deal. Also gonna comment that it may have some bad circulation in some places so it can get kinda musky. Not a big deal since climbers inhale chalk all day anyways. Anyways, The three floors of climbing behind the lead wall are pretty cool and at the top they actually have a moonboard next to the training area. Pretty sick! Overall I had a fun time climbing solo today, definitely will be back soon with a belay partner so I can work the roof! read more

Great setting but I wish the holds were mono colored! Im sure they could set colored routes with less overall quantity but I'm a believer of quality over quantity. If they were colored routes I'd say hands down best gym in the city but as it stands I'd say this gym is good for roped climbing and Refuge is good for bouldering (and they have colored holds). I'll continue to get punch passes for both and split my time unless they decide to go mono colored. Still a great vibe and am happy to give them my punch pass business. read more

Really great place both for beginners and experienced climbers. If you're into bouldering this is definitely your place. 3 floors of it. I hadn't rock climbed in years but took my guy for an early Valentine's Day activity and it was great. $25 per person for the whole day. You can even leave and come back if needed. There are currently 4 ropes out of 5 available. Came on a Saturday midday and it wasn't extremely crowded perfect enough to try all of the 4 ropes and checked out the second and third floor of bouldering. Very friendly and would come here again for sure. Perfect for kids. read more

i was extremely excited to come to this gym, bought memberships and the staff, specifically the manager were EXTREMELY rude, bitched at us for where our stuff was place despite having no safe area to sit or hold bags to the side and then refused to give us all our money back. still took $30 from us since we "used the gym" we were there for less than 20 minutes and it was so busy that we just sat on the floor in the corner until we decided to leave. i have however tried Nevada Climbing Center and they were amazing. they also give you rentals free the whole month for an extra $10 on your membership. read more

A decent climbing gym that met my needs while I was visiting Las Vegas from LA. Like others who reviewed, I am pretty spoiled about the colored holds, so it took a lot of adjusting to get used to the labeling system. The holds are not colored, but rather marked by tape to indicate difficulty, and because of that it took a lot of mental energy and physical energy to send a wall. The routes themselves were good once I figured it out, but I found myself downgrading my routes because I was anticipating the wait time. That said, there are some really cool small bouldering sections/rooms that really captured my attention. The walls did not scratch, and the staff was friendly. And if I could lead, the routes looked really fun. In terms of facilities, there was a shop/fridge with standard drinks and snacks, a clean bathroom, no lockers/cubbies, no water station to my knowledge, a moon board on the top level, and some weights. read more

Nice place, unique Boulder features and lead wall is very tall. Ahhooohhhaaahhhhhoooh

A great place to hang out in. ;) The staff is very attentive helping us get everything together and making sure we understood how to work the equipment The music is good and it's clean here. read more

Went to check out this place while I was staying in Vegas because I heard from a friend it was the place to go climb. When I showed up the staff was very friendly, but the place itself was very overwhelming and unorganized. There is 4 floors, although as you go up in floors they get significantly smaller so I wouldn't consider it 4 floors. The first floor is primarily top rope and lead climbing, however, they said you could boulder on the first floor. I didn't like the bouldering on the first floor because you are in the way of the lead climbers. On the second floor it's a tiny room that's all bouldering but the routes are set all over the place. The routes are hard to navigate through while climbing because there is just way to many routes and way to many pieces of tape. The way they set routes here is using a tape system where the color of the rocks/holds don't mean anything. You have to follow the route that the color of tape is. Each rock has 1 or multiple pieces of tap next to it to show you what route it's a part of. This method was very chaotic since I am used to climbing routes that all the rock/holds are the same color. Having to look all over for the pieces of tape made it very challenging to navigate what way the route finished. On the third floor there was also bouldering (not a lot) and top rope for the little kids. While climbing there we actually got kicked out since there was a little kid class apparently and they had the area reserved so we were told to leave and could come back in 30 min. On the 4th floor which I wouldn't even consider this a floor was a "gym". Very limited equipment (only a couple practice holds/hangs and weights), very limited space, and 1 bench. Also this room is extremely hard to find since the door they cover with routes so you can't see it. Also someone can open the door on you while you're climbing and they'd have no idea. The place had no drinking fountain from what I could find and the restrooms took me awhile to locate. read more

Four floors of fun ! We came and they were in the middle of re-doing the second floor but we got to climb on the other 3 floors. The first floor is for the traditional climbing with a bouldering section in the corner. There are 5 auto belays and 3 other ropes where you need someone to belay you. The other floors were mainly for bouldering. They use tape to distinguish the difficulties. They were pretty challenging but provided a much needed arm workout and place to destress ! read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - First floor bouldering corner - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Visited this gym when I was at Red Rock to boulder outside but it rained. Pretty small gym but it makes good use of the limited space it has. It does get crowded though, so you have to be pretty careful where you step. Grading is pretty soft in my opinion. read more

Very friendly staff, dirty gym. Facility felt caked in dust, and the bouldering areas are very tight and narrow - feels like you're climbing in someone's garage. For bouldering specifically - the floor padding is very firm, and doesn't cushion your landing well - it's also very slippery with climbing shoes on. I felt like I was choking on dust every time I got off the wall. While the route setting was okay, the walls are splattered with holds and tape - which makes for difficulty in identifying routes. Too many routes/holds for such a small space. read more

This is a great place for all experience levels. If your that good, you're able to free climb. The staff is very helpful and there for any issues you may be having during your climb. A day is $15 (with the option to leave and come back) $5.00 for shoes rental, and $5.00 for harness rental. Very reasonable to experience something new. This location isn't too far from the strip but it's just far enough to not be full of tourists. The day we went there were about 8 climbers and there was plenty of space to stay out of everyone's way. read more

They also gave some tips and advice that helped for someone who is just learning. The facility has several floors and a small workout area on the top floor. Paid about $25 for a one day pass with rented harness and shoes. Pretty good deal because we stayed a few hours, resting in between climbs. Overall great experience and would go again. read more

I've climbed at a dozed other gyms in Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, and this was my least favorite. I know every gym has different safety standards, but this gym didn't appear to have any standards at all. They did not make me take a belays skills test (had my own harness, shoes), had no posted rules or regulations, and when I asked if there were any rules I should know about, they said no. They have two little bouldering rooms in addition to the main floor, but I was scared to boulder more than 10-12 feet off of the ground because of the flooring. In most areas, there's a gap between the wall and the permanent floor padding. In some areas it's a few inches, in others, it's a foot but it means that there's a little trench 6-8 inches deep around the main padding. This seems like a really good way to encourage climbers to break and ankle when they fall. Also, much of the flooring in the main room is set at an angle sloping down towards the walls and has really uneven spots which also seems dangerous to fall on. Would it have been so hard to make the entire flooring one level and abut the wall? The routes weren't anything to get excited about, the holds were a bit old and polished black, and the foot jibs don't look like they've moved in years. Much of the tape, especially marking the footholds was coming off the walls, making the routes hard to follow. The lighting was terrible! No overhead lights, but instead had these bright lights set into the walls (kind of like the lights you see set into a swimming pool) that shine directly into your face when you're trying to find the taped routes. See the photos I posted for a better idea. Given all of the flaws and lack of safety protocols, even though they had autobelay devices, I didn't not trust them or the ropes enough to attempt to top rope. Much of the gym is set up for lead climbing, so if you bring your own rope and like to lead, maybe this is the gym for you. Also, they had no lockers or cubbies, so all of the climbing gear, shoes, backpacks, and coats was scattered around the main floor. I was sad to have spent $15 to climb at a gym that does not seem to prioritize safety for their climbers. I do not recommend climbing here. read more

The past two weeks I visited this place with my boyfriend and friends. The guy in front has always been nice and helpful.

I left the Matador 21 show last fall to check this place out for an hour between bands. Some decent problems but not that well kept up. The holds were grungy and the changing room is very basic. Other than the main room which is primarily rope, there are a couple rooms upstairs for bouldering, which is my speed. Kind of pricey for what you get but still happy to find a place to be able to sneak in a bit of climbing. read more

I love this place! Unfortunately, I can understand some of the things stated in the bad reviews. But the people that recommend NCC over R2C2 must be nuts. I have been to R2C2 in the summer when the A/C has been out and yea, it didn't smell so good. A/C was fixed quickly though. Over the past couple of years I have seen some employee turnover, and they have had some employees better than others. I have seen the employees with their face buried in their phones. But those ones usually don't last long. For the most part the employees are friendly and helpful. PROS Best variety of climbing. Tons of bouldering, 5 auto belays, 6 or 7 top ropes and dozens of sport climbs. Walls with multiple varying degrees of pitch from vertical to overhanging, concave and convex arcs, reverse stair-step, and the only roof / ceiling in town. Upstairs has a 35° and 45° walls for bouldeting. Each gym in town is unique and has its own vibe. The vibe here is amazing! The class of climbers (regulars) this gym attracts is top notch. From beginners to advanced, pretty much everyone is pleasant, friendly and considerate. Owners, manager, and majority of staff is friendly and helpful. Yea, a few people have come and gone that maybe were not as friendly or helpful as others, but it is what it is I guess. When it comes to hiring employees, I guess you can't hit a home run every time. 3 floors of climbing and a 4th floor dedicated to work out and yoga. CONS Lighting stinks. Not sure there is a fix for that. But it seems the recessed lights are aimed with great care and percession to be directly in your eyes while belaying. Gym gets crowded on UNLV nights. I'm OK with a full gyms, it's only 2 nights a week when school is in session. But it does mess up the mojo a bit. The students are not as considerate as the regulars. Overall though, great gym, great place for (supervised) kids / family time, great place to train. read more

Red Rock Climbing Center - Ginger playing on the ceiling feature. - Rock Climbing Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a really nice location if you want to rock climb in a safe way or just want to practice. They have three floors available, I believe the higher the floor the most challenging it is. If you are a beginner and do not have any experience, not a problem. They offer a day pass and gear rental for only $25 dollars. Every wall has different color tape, you can challenge yourself by only using one color tape at a time. So the same wall can feel different every time. The same goes for the color tape, the higher the number the more challenging it gets. This is definitely a fun way to work out your muscles. read more

Newly renovated! I haven't been here since 2011 but the multiple Cirque du Solei crews comes often to get some fun workout done. I decided to join them finally, putting my harness I received as a gift to use. They now have more than 2 auto belay, so while the rest of the Cirque crew did their own things, the girlfriends/fiancees/wives we hooked ourselves up to the auto belay and competed with each other...lol! Needless to say, I was the first to climb my skinny little butt to the top...hahaha! They also renovated the second floor and it is more extensive and more challenges presented. Baby steps, baby steps. If your work schedule permets you to be flexible, I would advise that you go during the weekdays in mid-morning or early afternoon where it's less crowded and you pretty much have the place to yourself, minus the Cirque crews that are often there during their dark days. A day pass is $15.0o/ $5.00 for shoes rental/ $5.00 for harness rental. read more

Sad that this gym is so dysfunctional. All they care about is money. The infrastructure itself is actually very beautiful and fun but employees don't know how to run the gym. I tried on at least 3 separate accounts to freeze my membership and even filled out the paperwork!

Called the owner and he had a very bad attitude about the situation which makes sense because thats the overall vibe in the gym. Bad attitudes and horrible vibe. Climbing is a community sport and I would go elsewhere. His condescending/greedy attitude was unsettling, bring your business elsewhere! read more
