What's inside
“What a great space, vibe and so kid friendly with different rock climbing and bouldering levels.”
“They have routes that use auto belays and ones that require a normal atc.”
“There is only one shower stall in the women's bathroom, so if you're planning to climb or sauna with a friend and both shower after, you'll need to take turns.”
“The weight area is not big but had your basics, rings, bar, kettlebell and dumbbells, jump ropes and bands, stationary bikes, mats, and a kilter board.”
What climbers say again and again
“The space is very well laid out, clean and my kids loved it so much they are still asking to go back.”
“There is only one shower stall in the women's bathroom, so if you're planning to climb or sauna with a friend and both shower after, you'll need to take turns.”
“The setting is appropriately graded, the hold variety is great, and the movement on the climbs is far from simple ladders and big moves.”
“There are climbing options for all ages and skill levels, from beginners to experienced climbers.”
“They have routes that use auto belays and ones that require a normal atc.”
From the reviews
I want to start off by mentioning I have never provided a review on an establishment before; however, after my experience at Blue Granite today, I felt compelled to do so. My two sons ages 8 and 12 have shown a recent interest in learning to climb.
Nice climbing gym with good sets. I only had a chance to boulder here, but I enjoyed what was there. The bouldering area is upstairs and is on the smaller side with 3ish walls, part of it a cave. There’s also a kilter board next to the bouldering area.
Cool climbing gym! The front desk guy gave us a tour and explained everything thoroughly. It was my first time climbing and I had a good experience. Totally recommend for anyone who wants to try this out if you haven't it's an experience. I believe I remember it totaling up to about $60 or so for an adult and child.
Great place if you are looking for a nice community of Kool Kidsss! And by kids, I mean young adults 😎 Good vibes all around. Nice rocks too.

Adaptive climbing
Blue Granite Climbing Gym is mentioned for adaptive climbing or paraclimbing — sessions, equipment, or coaching that make the walls climbable for people with disabilities. Offerings like this vary a lot gym to gym and schedules change, so call ahead to ask what's available and when the next session runs.
