Amazing bouldering gym!!! Not so great for top rope...
I used to dislike bouldering and only do top rope, this gym made me like bouldering. Great place, a lot of route to find those that suits and motivate you. I do not like the top rope there but there is a meet up for top rope, so... I still do it once in a while, but I rather boulder there.
Such a friendly community. I love this workout routine; it's challenging and exciting; it incorporates puzzle solving, something I enjoy doing also. The space also has free weights and benches, a work space for people who just like to be in the space... just a great place to be.
What a nice gym. Lots of "quiet" pockets where you can take your time with problems and won't feel rushed. Just the way I like it. Also has not too high walls.
PS I only Boulder.
Cliffs is my regular climbing gym. I tried out and actually became a member of sender one before I joined cliffs. My friends got me in on a guest pass and sender was never the same. Very chill atmosphere here, especially during the day. The bouldering is fantastic so you can go alone and have a blast which is great for keeping strong. The lead section is somewhat small but is very fun and thoughtful. I love the routesetting at this gym. Can be a bit crowded starting at like 6:30 - 7 on weekdays so I'd go straight after work, but that's everywhere in Los Angeles. Very active route refreshing. Always feels like there's something new to try but sometimes your project can be removed before you finish it. Sauna and training room above the climbing floor are great as well.
Having said that their policy on "couples membership" is ridiculous. The demand a joint bank account statement or marriage license? We brought in a signed lease with both of our names on it and one of the desk staff treated us very curtly when we thought that seemed reasonable. All to grub for an extra $50 as well. This experience almost soured me on the gym immediately but I'm glad I stuck around.
My wife, my daughter, and I had an introductory lesson to bouldering and top-roping from Evan who was very thoughtful and clear in his instruction as well as being exceptionally nice. If you're unsure about whether you'd enjoy climbing I recommend you call up Cliffs of Id and try to set up a private lesson (ask for Evan!) you won't regret it.
Great gym, met a climber YouTuber here, the people seem friendly, really safe (strict) with belay test, usual price.
Route setting was amazing for boulders; they also have some cool unique features like a very very huge boulder overhang, archways, and slab walls. I can't imagine getting bored here; has every style of bouldering to please all with an insane amount of different holds.
Grading is little on the soft side, and top rope is ATC. Very spacious and clean. Seriously glad to pick this gym as i only had few days to try two in the area.

The people and community are great. The routes are constantly being updated. Extra tall
Ceiling height for ropes climbs is a bonus. The sauna after climbing is wonderful.

A Five Star indoor climbing gym with bouldering, top rope, and sport climbing. Plus a strength and conditioning area and fitness classes. Excellent quality walls, mats, etc. and good equipment. Prices are reasonable. Parking is a little tight. The top rope/sport area routes tend to be over-rated in my opinion. Where I think a Colorado climbing gym would call a 5.8, Cliffs would call it a 5.10 -and a bit over-zealous with the A, B, C ratings as well...but everyone needs an ego bump. Still a great place that I hope to return to!

This became a superb climbing gym with the addition of rope climbing. Great community and very spacious gym.
The walls and routes are nice and offer variety. The climbing is good but there are a few things that majorly detract from this location as a be-all gym.
Parking is a nightmare during peak hours.
Gym equipment is in disrepair (treadmills don't work or go beyond a slow jog, broken mirrors, stuck bench press rack, etc.) And the gym area is cramped and not well equipped.
They also have a debit and credit card minimum which I find inconvenient but the management is dismissive of my opinion. I've just stopped purchasing snacks from here.
Again, the climbing is good but everything else could use some work.
*update 3-22-2018* 2 of the 3 treadmills are out of service, one has been out of service for over a month.
Fantastic climbing gym, lots of bouldering, and medium size top roping area. Friendly staff, clean space, decent weight room.

Great gym with tons of bouldering and a decent amount of good lead and top-rope routes as well. Friendly staff and clientele, and memberships at other Touchstone gyms are valid here. Lots of seating and good wifi, too. No autobelays and most people just boulder, so you may have trouble if you go here by yourself hoping to do roped climbing.
I've been to three climbing gyms: Boulderdash in the San Fernando Valley, LA Boulders (a Touchstone gym like Cliffs of Id), and this gym (Cliffs if Id). Cliffs of Id is by far the best.
This climbing gym is massive. There are lots of bouldering and roped routes. I like that the entire gym is padded so you don't have to move pads around. The bathrooms and shower area and locker rooms are really nice. The gym has super high ceilings so there is a very 'open' feeling. The staff are really nice too. There are not enough parking spaces, but you can find parking on the street.
Why?! Cliffs is so challenging! I spend months going to LA Boulders before checking out this location only to find that I could barely climb here. The level of difficulty is intense so while great for advanced climbers, the amount you can do as a novice is minimal. That being said, like all Touchstone gyms, it has interesting routes, and the facilities are top notch!
I climb here all the time. The bouldering is excellent and training room is even better. Rope section could be bigger though.
Fun gym! Lots of good climbing, cool staff. Slightly pricey, but times are tough.
Awesome gym with great setting! Highly recommend.
Nice facility but a bit pricey. The ratings are soft so you will feel good about yourself and what you can climb, but don't mistake that for the gym being soft. There are plenty of tough routs to challenge yourself as well as easy one to learn on. Facility was clean. Gym and clean showers are a nice plus. Wish this was closer to where i live.
