From the reviews

Seems like a solid place to climb although the membership fee is over $1000 a year or $30 for a day pass which is a bit insane. The location built inside an old factory is epic and I can understand the price point for such a cool spot but I’m very confused about the Echo Park location.

★★★★☆ — Benjamin, Feb 2024

Love this little bouldering gym. The routesetting is fantastic and they have a good variety of features. Training areas as well. A spot inside to park bikes. Some snacks too. And showers. Love this gym!

★★★★★ — Dakota, Jan 2024

Lovely, smaller gym with a nice diversity of routes. Workout area consists of a nice cage with a barbell, bench, and free weights. Clean. Price is a bit steep compared to what I'm used to.

★★★★☆ — Sophie, Mar 2024

I would die for Stronghold. Thank you for the AC at the new bouldering gym. As a primarily rope climber, I do wish the new gym offered top and lead options but I’m still a fan of their echo park bouldering gym.
