Plan your visit

  • 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
  • First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
  • Auto-belays mentioned here — clip in and climb ropes solo, no partner needed
  • Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes
  • Memberships available — worth asking about if you'd climb more than a few times a month

★★★★★ — Engr., Apr 2018

Best Hangar 18 I’ve visited in SoCal in terms of climbing routes for beginner. The gym is large. A lot of trails both bouldering and belay (didn’t see much auto belay though). Plenty of parking including those in shades. Cool temperature. Aircon was working better than other Hangar 18 I’ve been to.

★★★★☆ — Fang, Aug 2023

this is our first time going to this location here in LongBeach🍻. I have previously been to the location in Hawthorne, but this is the first time taking my kids. They enjoyed the auto ballet system.

★★★★★ — Jon, May 2025

Good place for beginners. Staff is very laid back and willing to help. Can get very busy during the evening weekdays. Bouldering can get crowded but everyone is willing to take turns in spaces. Also great for kids! Saw toddlers climbing walls and kids having fun. Also has a small gym area and yoga classes.
