From the reviews
Grip Bouldering is a boulder gym dream. On top of that the staff is excellent, knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. We signed our kids up for their spring break climbing camp; affordable and exceptional. It consisted of two days in gym and one day outdoor climbing in Unaweep canyon. Both of the kids loved it.
What an awesome little gym! Ben, one of the owners, was very friendly and accommodating; he gave us the grand tour and answered all of our questions (silly ones included!). It was a fun, chill atmosphere where any climber, or novice, can instantly feel welcome.
Was visiting Fruita and ran over to the gym to see what it was about. It did not disappoint. Super fun routes, solid equipment for training, and an incredibly friendly and encouraging staff. If I lived here full time… I would be here all the time!
