Nice gym! Great setting and super friendly staff! A little on the higher on pricing for a day pass and the sauna could be cleaner :)

I love the facility. The builders make amazing routes and the equipment itself is awesome. The biggest problem at this place is the maintenance. There are never any clean towels or soap in the bathrooms. On the weight and climbing floor the paper towels are always out and there's no way to clean equipment after use. This place could easily be a 5 start gym but come on guys. Please just restock.

I started climbing 45 days ago after a 2 weeks trial period. The first step was to take a belay class (free), then the belay test (free too) and then I was able to come either by myself (some people that are also coming by themselves, can partner up and belay with you), or with my partner to top rope or boulder. I feel that the quality and diversity of the routes make it possible and enjoyable to come every day.
The place is rarely packed but I recommend to get there before 8AM or after 7PM.
They use gri-gri instead of belay devices (compared to Touchstone) so it feels very safe.
Some really good climbers come here so you can watch, learn from them and progress.
Staff is great, and very helpful.

It's the best gym in the city. I've been a member for 2 years and love the place. I mostly top rope but also take some yoga classes

Very crowded at peak times.
Expensive.
Excellent routes, in general.
Good yoga classes. Has strength and conditioning classes that I haven't tried.
Also has free weights, machines, and treadmills.

Not as crowded as Mission Cliffs and the route setting is better. Occasionally overrun with kids on the weekend but otherwise is a great place to climb.

I've been here multiple times, and each visit I'm greeted with fantastic staff and a great variety of climbs. Fairly crowded on weekends, however during most of the week it is minimally packed. If you are stopping by to view the Golden Gate bridge or any other close by attractions, this place is a great addition to your trip!

Great location and a super friendly helpful staff. They have plenty of variety for top rope and bouldering as well as some great classes and workout facilities. I would highly recommend this place!

This gym is in a beautiful and scenic location. And there is more than climbing here (Yoga, fitness machines, etc.). Ample parking on weekdays. Conveniently located at foot of Golden Gate bridge.

Who needs Tinder when you can just go to Planet Granite? It's not a total meat market, but it is a great place to meet other like minded people. The front desk is great about finding you a belaying partner if you're climbing solo. The culture and community rock! Located on the water next to the Golden Gate bridge you get some pretty fantastic views of Alcatraz and the bay when climbing. Gym is in an old airplane hanger leftover from back when the SF airport was on the Marina Greens. On warm days they open up the hanger doors so you can smell the sea water and feel the breeze. The problems are creative and well organized. They usually match the stones to be the same color for a problem vs. other rock climbing gyms mixing up the color combos and notating with the same colored tape. Drop in rates are a little expensive (~$22 more with gear rentals) If you live in SF consider a monthly membership. The monthly member prices are about as cheap as it gets when it comes to gym memberships for this part of town.

Awesome location, nice variety walls, good setting. Usually not as crowded as other city gyms.

Best gym in the bay area period. Bouldering is completely unmatched by anything I have have been to. I have been coming here since it opened about a decade ago and the have redone walls, pads, and everything. Nice sauna too and the gym is right at the foot of the bridge so leaving the gym puts you right out on Crissy Field. 10/10.

Great place to climb. The beginners Rock climbing course is very informative and thorough with lots of practical hands on training. Our instructor Ruben was excellent: answering all our questions and explaining all the steps and instructions perfectly.

The best Planet Granite gym in the Bay Area. Beautiful views, huge bouldering and roping space. You'll have to pay $1.50/hour for parking before 7pm except Sundays.

The user experience is too bad in planet granite, compared to touchstone. The pad for signing waiver cannot work. It wasted about 30 minutes to sign it! The most important thing is they are totally not friendly! They only think about making money! You cannot teach others climbing and belaying here, while you can teach others in Touchstone. You cannot say they do this for safety because the belay test is simple and cannot cover all things. They only want to enforce new climbers paying for belay learning session! Touchstone is much better than them. You can teach others in the gym but the belay test is very hard. They require you to take tests more than one time to make sure you know all about belay. And require a lot of additional safety checks and actions. Moreover, different prices of passes and membership for different positions in PG! I want to remind you, please buy monthly membership in SF or Belmont instead of Sunnyvale! The membership is $120 higher per year in Sunnyvale than in other places! Also other passes! But the 10 visit pass only can be used in the gym you buy this pass! Overall, they only want to make money! Never care about customers! Please do not come to here!
