  • Day pass around $24 — 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
  • First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
  • Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes

From the reviews

I've been intermittently climbing at Hangar 18 and have been going between the Orange location and the Mission Viejo one. I really enjoy the Mission one for a multitude of reasons. The gym is smaller here, but the community feels more tightly knit together.

★★★★★ — David, Apr 2024

Awesome little bouldering gym. A good mix of bigger and intermediate problems. Could have more in the v2-v4 range I guess is my only recommendation. I liked it!

★★★★★ — Diego, Jul 2024

The least pretentious gym I've ever belonged to. 😊 This gym has none of those extra flourishings like yoga or a sauna or slacklining - it's just bouldering and I love it!!!
