Couldn't even find parking to get in to climb. So still haven't been but not a good experience to literally be unable to park even on side streets. Wild

Bring back childcare! The bouldering area was already too small and cramped and now there are rogue toddlers to dodge on top of the normal crowds. Management decisions just keep getting worse and worse as this gym chain becomes more and more corporate.

Great environment and clean. Top roping area is top notch but the bouldering area at this gym is pretty cramped and the grading just feels off. Went here from out of town to get some climbing in and i normally do v3s v4s with some struggle back home and thats how i was feeling with 1s and 2s here. I appreciate a challenge but the leap in difficulty just makes the climbing less fun

Great experience! Good gear, nice climbing environment with lots of different routes for all skill levels. Nice staff as well as fellow climbers.

Friendly staff and probably some of the best setting in the front range, but the bouldering area at this facility is criminally small. Doesn't help that this is probably the most popular gym in Boulder making parking damn near impossible. For the amount they are charging and the members they serve, the facility should be at least twice the size and have more parking (or ffs at least pay the neighboring businesses to let us use their parking when they're closed). If you're an intermediate boulderer like myself that has a hard time asserting their time on the wall, probably look elsewhere.

This gym bums me out ? The bouldering section is way small. The ropes side looks nice, but it’s been tougher than usual to find ropes partners in Boulder. A notecard board like they have at Engelwood’s Movement would be helpful

Left a bottle of face wash here and they threw it away because they “don’t like touching that stuff”. Which is strange because it’s hard to throw something away without touching it. They could have just as easily but it in the lost and found instead of the garbage

Big, shiny and underwhelming.Movement gyms are generally ok to climb at. I am really low on the Boulder gym though.The route setting lacks flow and character. Feels bouldery, strength based for all the routes I try to climb. Also doesn't have consistent grade ratings. Point is, I haven't enjoyed climbing here. I won't realistically be back otherwise.Also horrendously pretentious and unfriendly patrons.As an example. I tied in and started leading this one route. I finished and got down and these two dudes were unhappy that I lead it because they wanted to lead it before me somehow. I don't understand.

They actually pay a service to come through and kick out vans. I parked late at night planning to go in at opening the next day. Someone came through at 2:15A.Funny thing is she didn’t say anything to the other two vans parked in the lot, or the car that seemed to be trying to hide behind one of the vans.Lame, and anti-cool. It would make more sense if I, or the van people, were there all the time and constantly taking up spots from their customers… oh, and if we weren’t also customers..Hopefully the boulders are at least good!They actually pay a service to come through and kick out vans. I parked late at night planning to go in at opening the next day. Someone came through at 2:15A.Hopefully the boulders are at least good!Update: The boulders were good. Nice setting- though pretty soft. (To be expected for the area.) Unfortunately not a whole lot of space for the boulders. This might be the only climbing gym I’ve been too with more fitness area space than bouldering.When you talk with the locals though they all say the same thing. “Movement knows this gym is too small- but they won’t do anything other than tell us to drive to Denver!”1 star simply for existing, another star for the routesetters.

Great staff great service. Routs are fun and engaging. Climbers are always kind and ready to help. There are lots of groups to join and classes to serve all kinds of skill sets.

I love this gym :) the staff are all friendly and great. Its a great place to climb and train. It does get crowded though in the winter months and parking can be a pain in the butt.

I bought the BOGO 4-punch pass at Christmas time not realizing they expired at the end of the year. (?!? Use 8 punches in less than 6 weeks!?! ...it didn't say that on the ad.)Anyway, when we came to use the last 4 passes in February, they had already expired. Izzy, the manager, was kind enough to honor them and give us the 4 passes back. I appreciated the good customer service.They do good route setting, and it's always fun to see some of Colorado's finest crushers training there. You never know when Lynn Hill, Tommy Caldwell, or Robin Erbsfeld will be sending hard lines - but there's plenty of routes for us average Jane's, too!

I always walk out of this gym in a happy mood. They provide high quality equipment and services, and the staff is always great to be around. Bill Kinter, the project manager at the gym, is simply an elite athlete and coach. After doing some training with him, it's safe to say he's very knowledgable, great at what he does, and a pleasure to work with. I would even go as far as to call him a father figure in my life. Such an outstanding guy. If you're looking to join a climbing and fitness community in Boulder, this is the place to go.

I love the staff, they are super friendly, but the setters don’t use set screws at all. I spin probably a hold a session, and a friend ripped an entire volume off the wall. The setters should spend 10 extra minutes making their routes safe.

Best climbing gym in Boulder. Has a big main lead-wall, plenty of top-ropes, a great training area and a decent bouldering zone. Too bad they don't have auto-belays, but there is a list to find partners to climb. Also, they provide ropes!
