The holds hurt more for some reason and routes here feel harder than what they're graded I'm glad there's a valley gym, but unless you're here earlier in the day when there's less people or to top rope, I'd much prefer other gyms. Good parking. Pro-tip: get the 10 for $195 esp if you go in groups bc it's shareable and it doesn't expire!

Instead they told me these passes are for life and there is no refund. So what do you do when life gives you oranges? You make orange juice! Be sure to come back and bring some friends/families (up to 2 extra at one time) to use up the passes. The gym is open and spacious, multiple walls for bouldering as well as auto belays.

The guy working the counter got us checked in quick, grabbed our shoes and harnesses, and explained how everything worked so we could get her straight to climbing. They have all levels of difficulty here so there's fun for everyone. It's a safe and fun way to exercise. The location is super clean, staff are all very friendly, and there's no judgement on your experience level. I'll definitely be back and suggest you try them out for yourselves.

While my son scrambled up the rocks, my daughter only climbed a few feet before she got stuck and started to get anxious. They expertly got her down and calmed her to try again later. I think bc of their demeanor, about an hour later my daughter tried again. This time the male owner expertly got her up the rock face, while saying all of the right things to encourage her and calm any fears. She was able to climb the whole things and was so proud of herself. Would definitely recommend, especially for a group of mixed experience climbers.

The top rope routes don't seem to be changed out frequently. There's a lot more boulder space than rope climbing. Lots of table space for people to do laptop work.

Relative to 2 other touchstone gyms that I've been to in the area, parking is probably the most…read moredifficult here, as there's some tandem spots. Luckily they have a system here where they'll call the description of the car on the PA to move their car if someone parked inside needs to get out (trusting that people who did park behind log it on the clipboard at the entrance.) Gym feels stuffier and smaller too, and it was pretty crowded on a Thursday evening. Lots of overhang here compared to the Post. The ladder coming down from problems that require going over is intimidating for a beginner climber as there's no railing for a steep decline. Still was able to get in a decent number of climbs though on the other walls. All the other amenities are standard for a touchstone gym. Overall, it's alright compared to other gyms, but if you're a first timer or live nearby, it's nice and well kept. 3.5 stars would probably be more accurate imo, but I'll round up bc this place is better than non touchstone gyms Despite this gym being the closer drive, I prefer Pasadena or Torrance (15-20 min difference).

The staff was able to make the whole experience safe and informative and were so engaging and interactive with the kids.

It was my kids first time climbing inside a climbing gym. Luckily we had a wonderful crew of…read moreparents who made the experience amazing. We were celebrating a birthday with a group of kids. The lady working the gym today was such a buzz kill. I am all about following the rules and being safe especially in a climbing environment. We were told two rules at the beginning. Harness and shoes must be worn in rope areas and the bouldering area is off limits to 5 and under and that was changing soon. Icing on the cake was the pretentious tone she gave my young son and I by stating that he wouldn't enjoy climbing as he is being put in a harness. Way to set him up for success by saying a negative comment before he even gets to try it. Remember boulderdash staff what you say around kids they absorb. Words have a huge impact. You might "teach" children in your classes but not all children are the same. I've never been to a climbing gym that a manager can go climb with friends and family for hours. She wasn't supervising who was coming in and out and what was happening throughout the gym. When said manager did decide to come around she was randomly yelling at our kids or us for not doing things she never told us about in the first place. One star for the power trip employee with a negative attitude. One star for the cleanliness of the facility. It could use a deep cleaning. Sanitizer stations would be good. The lady working chased and almost grabbed my child for accidentally walking in the restroom with her climbing shoes to wash her hands. Again I understand it's the rules and we followed the rules given. That was one moment a child forgot and a parent was standing up to stop the child from going in. The gym had plenty of beginner routes and top ropes. Boulder area could use improvements. The weight station is a joke. A few free weights and kettle bells crammed in a corner. We will stick with climbing outdoors. After all it is Southern California.

They offer both top-rope climbing and bouldering, and both require an orientation--which I appreciated as a first-timer. I was surprised by how many people were bouldering, from novices to very experienced climbers. There's also a small gym with basic equipment. Overall, it was a fun, spontaneous activity for a random free day--kind of like bowling, but more physical and engaging. Definitely requires some strength and problem-solving. Would absolutely come back!

I don't recommend coming with kids and it's definitely not ideal for anyone who doesn't like crowded spaces. This location is bouldering only. That said, LA Boulders did have a lot of interesting routes that were fun to work with. I would like to come back without having my kids to worry about. This location is next to an indoor shooting range, which you can actually kind of hear from the yoga studio, but it's not too bad to be bothersome. The parking lot is limited and challenging, so coming before opening is the best time to secure a spot.
