1 / 2Verdigo Boulders
📍 Burbank, CA
Touchstone bouldering gym with 7,000 sq ft of terrain, 15-foot walls, 160+ problems across all difficulty levels, regularly rotated routes, fitness equipment, and free parking — less crowded than larger Touchstone locations.
Im a regular climber visiting this place for the first time, and I thought the gym was good! The problems are a little soft but pretty well thought out and flowed well around the v4-v6 range. The gym was clean and people were actually friendly. There aren’t as many inclined walls as the other gyms and the overall level of climbs was on the lower side, but it was still fun and challenging enough, and I’m sure newer climbers would be less intimidated with shorter and flatter walls. I enjoyed this spot more than LAB or Hollywood Boulders as a first impression.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families new to bouldering who want a less intimidating environment with manageable wall heights and free parking. The shorter walls and generally easier grade scale build confidence for kids and adults trying climbing for the first time. Families who progress quickly may find the route selection limiting.

“Relatively smaller gym than other Touchstone gyms. Best parking though! Doesn't get too crowded yet. Needs more routes. No gym equipment yet as of March 2018. Convenient climbing if your around the area...”

Free parking sets it apart from most urban gyms. Recent reviews note inconsistency in route quality and staff attitude.
