Each 2-1/2 hour slot is preceded by a brief how-to/safety orientation - everything is very intuitive once you get going. We finished all 10 courses in two hours, even completing a couple of them twice. We enjoyed the range of difficulty and there were plenty of friendly staff available for help of all sorts - otherwise, it's a fully self-guided/paced experience. Loved it.

People are very athletic here and that's encouraging. Yes sometimes the men's locker room is stinky during rush hour and its okay cuz i'll go first thing in the morning and i notice they have a nightly cleaner. Overall, the ambiance is great with appropriate background music. The only issues ever have been the dauna that broke down a couple months ago but that usually is common in high volume gyms, especially when the heater is abused. This is a tourist/transient town so im sure it's not the regulars that mistreat it. The sauna was really hot yesterday especially for its large size. I love the fact that there's a water bucket and ladle to keep the experience prime. Last Sunday sucked though because apparently they closed an hour earlier than their posted schedule. It's understandable as i do know they are looking for a new manager, says the ad they posted. I believe they'll get a solid manager soon maybe one that can help with both locations as i frequent the one in Incline way more. Thats a great location as well. Hardly ever any issues. The owners do great with both and i'm excited to see who the new manger is.

It takes about an hour of gearing up, waiting, driving, and a short walk--the rest is spent climbing. You are attached to a cable about 95% of the time and there are a ton of hand and foot holds, so it is very safe. It isn't rock climbing and not much strategy or skill is involved, but the scenery is glorious and the entire thing is super fun. We went up to a little over 7,000 feet. Our guide, Sam, was great, too.

It turned out to be quite a workout and definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone, but I'm so glad I did it! Our guide, Andrew, was amazing. He was encouraging, patient, and made me feel comfortable and safe the entire time. I was definitely scared at certain points, but I always felt like I was in good hands. He also took so many incredible photos, so we didn't have too. I almost didn't sign up because I saw the high wire in the photos on the website and thought there was no way I could do that! Fortunately, on the 2-hour tour, the wire we crossed was low to the ground. It was definitely wobbly, but I felt safe because you're clipped in the entire time. It is more physically demanding than I expected, so I highly recommend eating a good meal beforehand, bringing water, and making sure you're well hydrated. The 2-hour climb was just right for me and felt like a real accomplishment. My 19-year-old son, on the other hand, loved it and wished he had signed up for the 3-hour climb. Overall, it was a really memorable experience and something I'd recommend to anyone looking for a fun challenge and a little adventure in Tahoe--even if you're somewhat afraid of heights!

There is a limit for free sign-ups (day pass) after the limit, it's a discounted price. Stop by on a free climb night check and see if rockclibing is a sport you want to pursue!

She has also done a day camp prior and that was a great experience from a parent perspective. She overall had fun but was nervous since it was a new sport. I have used the exercise equipment as well, which is good but it can be busy because the focus are the climbing walls with the supplement. They offer group classes as well. I have not done them yet, but my plan is to do some of the Yoga. I like that they are community inclusive. There are different nights at the gym and there have been events where there are local vendors showcasing their products.

A day session is $25 but they have a cheaper rate for certain drop in hrs so ask if you have flexibility. There is also a sauna which is lovely. The only downside is that it is very small. I went for bouldering only and it's one large room and that's it. It was fine for 1-2 sessions but if I'm a regular, I'd really want a bigger gym with more routes. That said, any rock climbing gym in the community is always a big big plus for me!

Nightlife in Tahoe? Climbing gym :)…read more I love checking out climbing gyms wherever I go, and I thought Blue Granite was pretty good! Disclaimer: this is only based on my one time experience here. The gym is located a bit of outskirts of town but since I stayed a bit out, it was only 5 mins drive. Super cute building sitting in a forest, small parking lot but I didn't have trouble finding parking. Workers are required to give you a tour of the gym and mine was very friendly and thorough. The gym has little touches here and there to make it special. There is a partner board where people leave their information and names, how cute is that? Also, I enjoyed browsing through the climbing artworks they displayed in the hallway. Lastly, I loved how they up-cycled ropes for bathroom curtains. The route settings are fun! Since the wall space is precious, the settings can be compact. Lots of different colors of holds to identify and read. I'd say the grading is somewhat on the same level of Movement gyms in the bay, so slightly harder than the touchstones. The vibe is chill and friendly, not super packed, kids aren't running around, I personally got tired of the music towards the end though, but that was it. I didn't get to try their yoga/Lyra/Dance classes, but it's so cool they offer those especially Lyra or Aerial classes which you may have to pay $40-$50 for in the Bay Area. Will definitely be back!

There's a nice variety of dumbbells, barbells with three weightlifting stations, and two full rooms of lifting equipment. They also have a Body Pump room with kettlebells, jump boxes, TRX bands, and a great space for stretching. One of the big attractions is the climbing wall, and they also seem to offer fun camps for kids. Just note that renting the harness and shoes is an extra cost on top of your membership. The locker rooms were recently remodeled, but you wouldn't really know it. The facility still looks a bit dated and some areas could use repair. The vibe is good overall, and the staff is pleasant, although not quite as welcoming as I'm used to at other gyms. That said, I'm still glad to have High Altitude as a convenient neighborhood gym.

Ive been to plenty gyms and I'm mostly into resistance strength training, calisthenics, and swimming. Yes i tried the rock wall a few times and love it but i work so much so usually hit my basic lift routines to make work great. Live the towel service. Thats a nice privilege. Ive been to several gyms across many major cities in the house. Mostly commercial. This one has both family owned and commercial vibes. It can handle high volume with its variety and size. Then it can be slow and mellow at certain parts of the day. Never really had any issues except the time when someone was blowing up the stalls every morning and i asked if they had air fresheners spray and they said no management/owners don't really care about those things. Hmm maybe nobody has brought this issues to their attention then. Went out of my way at raleys and bought the air freshener myself and everybody was stoked so im glad they let me do that haha. There is one staff i keep catching though that never washes his hand after using the stall or urinal. I would tell the manager to talk to that guy without embarrassing him but i guess they dont have one at the moment and that's understandable. Hopefully they hire a great one here soon :) As a home gym i love the ambiance , price, location, equipment, classes and members. If the hours could be 5am - 10pm for the summer and winter that would be fantastic, at least for me.

I have been climbing in the same for over 10 years and I would recommend it to anybody looking to get started with rock climbing.

But there was only one worker so he was doing rental equipment, and money and giving people rules and getting auto belays that went up and belaying kids. It seemed like too much for one person. We had to wait quite a bit to just check in before getting started. I didn't mind too much, but we were already functioning on a really tight window. I would imagine that guy was stressed out too. I felt bad for him. Hopefully north peak can arrange for more than one person on Sat afternoons.
