Currently at The Post in Pasadena. The space feels nice and cool inside, which makes a difference when you’re moving around. It looks fairly clean and there’s a good amount of people here without it feeling overcrowded. The layout is three stories. The second level is for rock climbing, the third level is a gym, and there’s a lower level as well. It feels open and active. If you’re looking for a solid place to climb and get a workout in, this is a good option. Not a critic, just sharing how it felt.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children or teens who want a serious climbing gym with variety beyond the walls. The three-story layout, regular route updates, and added fitness facilities make it a strong membership option. Visit during weekday mornings for the most space.

β€œMy favorite climbing gym. Never too crowded. Great mixture of routes and it does seem like they are always setting new routes. We come once a week so it's nice to always have something new to climb. Gym, sauna, workout area also great for your gym membership”

β€œI really like the climbing gym and the routes but hoooly moly, it gets to busy! They should cap the capacity of climbers... Also: everybody here uses so much chalk and nobody cleans the holds. Air quality is pretty low. Lockerroom & sauna was really big and clean.”
