From the reviews
Great bouldering gym. Definitely my favorite in the area, and when my friends come from out of town I take them here. Routes are diverse and interesting and they trade out their routes often. I love their yoga classes (some of them are HARD): schedule is on their website. Very friendly people and staff in general.
Excellent facility with even better staff. Black rock is an entirely bouldering focused facility with a wide variety of problems that regularly rotate. The setters do a great job setting different styles and the overall rotation schedule means that you have enough time to work your projects but there are always new…
The best bouldering gym in town just got better! *edited* I went to BRBG for over a year and it was one of the best I've ever been too. The staff are friendly and helpful. Regulars and advanced climbers were never "too good" to help out beginners and the facility was fantastic.
New to town & checked out black rock first, I don’t do much rope climbing. Went during lunchtime, so I had most of the gym to myself. This made it feel even bigger than it already is. Impressive amount of routes & a fantastic variety. Some are outrageously long on “the beast”…I think they are “Yosemite grade”?
