Nice gym, but some of the staff aren't friendly or welcoming. Especially the manager, I think Todd? He's very curt and not at all friendly. You'd think he might welcome you with a smile, since he runs the place. I highly recommend BlocYard Bouldering - way way way nicer staff

we took our nieces and nephews here just before Christmas and we were unimpressed. The staff were very unfriendly and unprofessional. They acted as though taking some children to their gym was an inconvenience for them and they didn’t help us with anything. When I tried asking questions about children’s rental gear and which walls were suitable for little ones, the one girl said quote “everything is over there, we’re a free for all around here”. There were about 4-5 people behind the desk and just sat there and did absolutely nothing. Not sure what they are being paid for, because they aren’t doing anything productive or helpful. Also, we could overhear their conversations, and they were discussing sexual topics. We will never be back.

Everything about this gym is amazing but one of the workers said that she was going to eat my dog...

Not sure why everyone says this place is so dirty. It's no dirtier than any other climbing gym I've been to. Holds get chalky and dirty anywhere you go, and this place is a normal amount of dirty holds. Routes are decently set and appropriately graded (there was one 5.9 that felt like it was set by a 6'6" giant, but otherwise good setting). People there are friendly enough. Day rate is fair for what you get. Parking is easy, building is easy to find.

My first climbing experience. I came and was able to try for free using my friend's guest pass. There's a lot of things to climb on... I see what the other reviewers are saying about it being dirty. My friend said it's better to not wear socks with the shoes (reminded me of bowling) but they are just thrown back into the bucket and probably are never cleaned, so if you want to avoid foot fungus I would wear socks or buy your own shoes.You sign a waiver and receive no instructions or guidance from the staff, so it was good that my friend was there. The other people climbing seemed nice, like you could ask for advice if you needed it. But you basically are on your own.

I really hate to be so negative but this is by far the worst gym I’ve been to in many years. First, the parking feels a little sketchy and we didn’t want to leave any valuables in the car. The isn’t the bright and open design you might be familiar with from gyms in other big cities. The facility is very dirty and I swear they haven’t purchased new holds or cleaned the existing ones since the late 90’s. Holds on every route I did up to 12c felt very grimy and slick. Seriously, buy some new holds and a power washer.Many of the top ropes that are set up are steep enough to require directionals and have routes directly behind them so if the directional isn’t already clipped and you fall there is very often a risk of swinging like a wrecking ball into the people behind you. Requires a fairly tentative belayer.We didn’t really enjoy the top ropes so we decided to boulder. This is the only star I can award for the gym. Grades felt on par with other gyms around the country and I actually got on a few fun ones. BUT the glaring negative here is that the pads are dated, old, and unsafe. It feels like you’re climbing over an old lumpy down pillow. There might be even padding under you, there might be none. Impossible to tell. We were already disliking the gym when my girlfriend then bailed off the top of a boulder and snapped her ankle super badly on the poor padding resulting in a trip to urgent care. The padding badly needs an upgrade.Ultimately the gym fills its role, but when previous reviewers mention how the dirtiness of the gym adds to its “authentic” or “classic” feel, that’s a sign to me that it needs some major upgrades or to have more competition from another large gym in a city of >200,000

Getting back to climbing after years away from it. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The amenities are challenging and just sooo much fun!

Probably the most unsanitary gym I have been too, I’ve never seen a gym with such oily and grimy holds. Not to mention the lack of a changing room and the likely hood of your car getting broken into out front.

I don’t find this gym to be a very welcoming place. I’ve been here twice to climb and once for yoga. I found the yoga teacher to be ignorant and culturally insensitive, which was a huge disappointment and left me feeling super awkward. I love indoor top rope and I’m not sure of anywhere else to go in Spokane. Therefore, I will probably be back for lack of options, but I hope the staff wakes up and becomes more accepting of all existing and new customers.

My absolute favorite climbing gym! I’ve been coming to Wild Walls since I was a kid and I love how I’ve been able to learn and grow my rock climbing skills here. The top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering routes are fun and challenging! Not only is the climbing great, but so are the employees. They have always been friendly and helpful to answer any questions you may have. This place is great for climbers of all levels and they provide a wide variety of climbing classes!

Excellent place - 2 really nice bouldering section. They don't have quite enough auto belays but more than make up w a great friendly set of climbers.A day pass was reasonable compared to other sites. A great place to make your crimp hands totally sore.

One of the best gyms in the area. Very nice atmosphere and climbs. This is an old gym so the holds tend to be smooth, the gym is mostly filled with locals, and yes things are "dirty", but that's what I love about Wild Walls. It still feels like an authentic and classic climbing gym.
