From the reviews
This place is just perfect! They maintain the holds really well and the facility itself is very clean. In addition, they frequently reset the walls to replace old climbs with new ones. They have a nice workout area as well for all your lifting needs!
Had a lot of fun by myself. Not crowded on a Wednesday morning in December. So many walls/routes to choose from. Can use real chalk (unlike my local indoor climbing gym, which only allows liquid chalk). All areas (including bathrooms/locker rooms) are very clean. Temperature just right inside.
The best Touchstone gym in the Bay Area! Women's locker room is large (personal lock not required, the have a keypad/code). Lots of showers, towels available, and the dry sauna is roomy and hot. Two different weight areas and a large space for yoga and stretching upstairs.
Pretty much the best bouldering gym in San Francisco. The whole Touchstone network is pretty good, but Dogpatch is probably the best/biggest I've been to for bouldering. They have a comprehensive variety of walls and pretty hard problems!
