I love this place so much! I took up climbing a year and a half ago and I climb twice a week. I love the community, the classes, and all of the routes. It’s my happy place. Highly recommend if you want to try climbing in SF.
They also just added an upstairs lounge, which is really comfy to hang out in.
Top rope routes are very creative with interesting beta, there's a high concentration of 5.10a to 5.11d routes in this gym, so as an intermediate you'll never get bored. They have lots of hard routes too, but not a lot of dedicated lead routes. There are several cracks, one of which is actually adjustable. Bouldering is good, but the beginner routes start are harder than other gyms. Santa Clara has more beginner options, while this gym has a wide and even range of problems. Overall the routesetters at this gym are A+ on quality. They have nearly every training board that exists, the bluetooth bouldering wall, full weight training gym with treadmills and everything. Facilities are fantastic as this is an old factory building on the edge of Crissy Field, and from the walls you can literally look out at the bay and the SF skyline. They had the windows open and there was a gentle sea breeze coming in along with tons of natural light. This gym well exceeded all expectations, A+ 10/10 bravo folks.
Absolutely epic gym. Great views from the big windows out into the bay. See Alcatraz as you climb. Very creative and fun routes with challenging features. Really cool bouldering with fun finishes. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They pick up the phone too. Can’t wait to go back.
I pay an absurd amount of money for you to close the bouldering area for multiple consecutive days. For people that o ly get to come in once or twice a week. This sucks. I'm going to switch to touchstone.
Update: it's 10 days after they first shut down bouldering walls, and they still don't have them all opened back up. Canceled membership.
Update 2: one week post competition. There are still 2 walls that remain unset. Can't believe people pay $110 a month for blank walls.
Super fun gym to join or try out - the building is incredible, they’re always changing the routes, and have a great gym setup.
Like the other Presidio buildings, it’s an old warehouse with huge ceilings, multiple levels, continuous windows that look out on the bay and the bridge and give the building a very airy feeling.
I’ve been a member for 2 months and they’ve changed every bouldering route in that time. There’s so many you won’t get bored.
I like platform lifting and free weights, and their gym setup is perfect for that: racks, dumbbells, barbells, and space.
First visit is free I believe!
Warning: parking can get crazy after work, buy a moped and save yourself some time :)
