What's inside
“I wish all bouldering gyms were like Rock Box.”
“They have a kilter board, which was super exciting to me as I've never seen one in person before.”
What climbers say again and again
“Gym is clean and allows dogs if you've got a well behaved, leashed pup.”
“The routes can be almost too challenging for beginners like me so it's definitely for more intermediate to advanced climbers.”
“Nice little gym area, good route setting and friendly staff.”
From the reviews
Really fun and challenging routes! Student day pass was perfect for breaking up a road trip. Staff was attentive and extremely friendly. Small fitness center with a single bench+rack+bar tucked off to the side to help you finish your training session.
Was here today 2/3/24. Took a climbing 101 class. Teacher was very helpful and patient. Learned a ton. Clean facility. Lots of space to workout and climb. Friendly staff. Pricing was alright. Will come back and take more classes in the future. Great experience overall.
Impressed!!! Dogs allowed! Only well trained and on a leash of course, but WOW!!! I wish all bouldering gyms were like Rock Box. If I lived closer I would go here more frequently. Good variety of routes. Lots of solid V5-V6 problems. Owner and staff are very friendly and involved.
First time visiting here with my 8 & 10 year old kids. Michael, the assistant manager was SUPER helpful answering a bunch of questions and getting us started climbing. He took the time to explain shoe fitment, the different routes the different membership options and so much more. My kids LOVED it and so did I.
