From the reviews

I am from Tulsa, OK and I am regularly climbing at Climb Tulsa. Since I’m in Santa Fe for a week during Spring Break. I wanted to stop by Santa Fe Climbing on a first day in Santa Fe which I visited yesterday. The staffs greeted me and they are so helpful and friendliest!

★★★★★ — Alexander, Mar 2022

I love that there is a climbing gym in Santa Fe. Given the building codes, that is a challenge to be so close to the center of town. It is pretty popular at times, but I always find enough areas to keep climbing without interruption.

★★★★★ — Will, May 2024

I was staying in Santa Fe for a while so I got a one month membership. It was a great place to brush up on my rope climbing but I also enjoyed all of the bouldering problems they set. The staff is very friendly.

★★★★★ — Laura, Jun 2025

We checked it out for my daughter’s birthday while we were in town visiting. Loved it. It was great for the whole family (39, 38, 12, 9, 5). Provided some fun challenges and made us want to explore climbing when we get back home.
