What's inside
“More than enough equipment to build your body if you’re self motivated, disciplined, and open to the high learning curve that comes with bouldering.”
“It has two floors of boulder problems, and a ton of top rope and lead routes.”

“They gave autobelays, top ropes, lots of leading, lots of bouldering.”
“It’s a great gym with fun setting, and clearly well run company, but for 33$ day pass you could really consider providing a shower, sauna, etc.”

From the reviews
Huge gym with an abundance of routes (ropes & bouldering), friendly staff, and great atmosphere! That being said, the benefits are reflected in the membership price which is almost double that of the next closest gym in Ventura.
Finally a full featured climbing gym in SB! Huge gym with two massive bouldering areas, dozens of top rope setups, tons of lead climbing including a fully horizontal arch, auto belays, cracks, regulation speed wall, dedicated kids area, awesome staff, great location, plenty of parking.
Excellent gym. Great space, excellent routes, great vibe. The staff is wonderful, supportive and happy to be there. Great addition to SB! Go!!
The Pad is the newest climbing gym in town! It has two floors of boulder problems, and a ton of top rope and lead routes. I had ton of fun checking it out! Spent about 1.5 hours bouldering. There were problems with difficulty levels ranging from V0 - V10 that I saw.
Birthday parties at The Pad Climbing - Santa Barbara
The Pad Climbing - Santa Barbara hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
