  • Day pass around $17 — check current rates; most gyms price gear rental separately and discount off-peak
  • Gear rental nearly every climbing gym rents shoes (~$5–8 typical) and chalk; harness rental is often bundled with a ropes pass
  • Waiver always required at climbing gyms — sign it online before you go to skip the front-desk line
  • Belaying ropes gyms teach belaying or check your certification at the desk; bouldering and auto-belays need no partner and no belay test

From the reviews

Sweet spot to get your boulder on! Has a few top ropes set up too if that’s your style! Great fun and good routes for all climbing levels 🤩

★★★★★ — Lily, Jun 2021

Honestly one of the coolest lil gyms! I love that there’s a climbing gym on this island!! The routes are so much fun(also jam packed) and Pat (the gym owner) is such a gem, he’s super helpful and I could tell he was super passionate about climbing! He even told me that Climb San Juan hosts a climbing trip every year.

★★★★★ — Ally, Oct 2024

Visited from out of town and was surprised to see a climbing gym had popped up! The owner was very friendly and the routes were fun and reasonably rated. Ratings varied between V0 - V8 (I think I saw one V8) and there is also a small top rope section which can be used as a bouldering wall to a certain height.

★★★★★ — Nick, Nov 2021

Cute gym. Pat, the owner, had great vibes and energy. Perfect place to climb on vacation. Good variety of holds and strong wall texture. Grading was on point compared to other gyms in western Washington I’ve visited before. The other climbers were nice.

Birthday parties at Climb San Juan

Climb San Juan hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
