This rock spot is amazing! The staff are all friendly and they really take the time to know the members (I usually go on a guest day pass, but have had great conversations with the staff).

The rock walls have varying levels of difficulty, from beginner to advanced. They even have free weights, fitness equippment, and an exerciae studio for yoga. There's street parking and additional parking down the corner from the location.

If you're new to climbing or are working on V9s, this rock spot is the spot for you!

Great bouldering gym with some belay routes, but not many. The variety of the bouldering routes are great, with plenty of overhang and funky routes. Friendly staff, plenty of room to move around.

Friendly and laid back atmosphere from staff to climbers. Great variety of sets. The top out and slide down is a fun change of pace.

Great guest policy. Don't like having overlapping routes, and thus having to wait for someone else to finish

Better prices than most climbing gyms out there. Great gym if you're just looking for bouldering

Great spot for kids and adults! So well laid out, and the staff are knowledgeable and considerate of everyone's varying athleticism. So nice to have a place in the city that everyone can enjoy.

Great rock climbing spot!

The only reason they don't get all five stars on my review is that their crash pads could be improved. They do not feel as safe as they could.

The level system in the gym is also interesting as they provide a peer contributed scale of grades for each route.

This was my first rock climbing gym experience. There are some beginner routes, but maybe could be more. I've been a few times and it is either really busy or pretty empty. Most staff members are very kind and helpful.

Friendly staff with lots of route options, although the number of easier routes (V0s and V1s) varies based on your luck. Facilities are pretty bare bones but this place feels definitely less pretentious than Brooklyn Boulders in Somerville. There is an event space in the back.

Good bouldering. Better value than other places

March 28, 2018 21:23

They only go up to size 15 shoes which is pretty uncomfortable for folks with large feet. Otherwise it's a great facility!

February 28, 2018 20:45

Great routes, lots of interesting problems. Good for building skills. The auto belayers are excellent for my skill level. About 5.7.

It's not too busy, and there is plenty of wall space for climbing as well as various climb difficulties.

I just recently started climbing, but here were my impressions from my first visit: small location but plenty of problems for a 3 hour session. The rating scale is definitely deflated but that's not much of an issue. It's not a great gym for top roping just due to space and height of the walls but I would definitely return for the bouldering!

Love this place!
I'm a beginner at rock climbing and this place just makes it easy for anyone to get into the sport and get a nice workout.
Lots for options for bouldering and belay. They have a huge wall with color coded holds and paths labelled by difficulty levels. I'm hooked :)

Cool spot. Staff is very informative, nice and always available. A lot of different options from individuals belaying, self belaying and bouldering. Very interesting rating scales for different routes up walls. Definately coming back for more!

Large spacious climbing gym with mostly bouldering walls and some Auto and self belay. Good for all experience levels and usually not too crowded. Nice staff!

Great local climbing spot. Very t accessible.

October 23, 2017 07:56

It's nice that they have auto-belaying. Great bouldering here! Competitively priced.

The way this place is run and maintained makes it feel like someone's basement gym that you're "allowed to use." The apathy on display by the staff quickly leaches into the general vibe of the place. People in general are pretty careless, and the gym's proximity to UMass doesn't help.

Everything is generally dirty, and if you go at night you'll have to deal with hordes of people and power tools. They're really making an effort to keep problems fresh, which is great, but new problems are set at peak hours. I really wonder if it's the larger Rock Spot company that slave drives these people until they're callous husks, or if there's really no oversight, allowing the place to slowly decay into something that only slightly resembles a functioning rock gym.

Bouldering, as others have said, is the primary attraction at this location, but the problems are often inconsistently rated and frequently overlap with one another, further adding to the congestion. From what I've gathered, there are enough VB to V1s to keep the walk-in crowd happy, and spending money, and enough >V6 to keep the place busy, but there's very little in between. "All abilities welcome" is a great slogan, but far accurate.

At the end of the day you probably should only come here if you have a few years under your belt and need a place to boulder, are here for a day pass, or live close by, but otherwise go to one of the other great places in Boston. At a certain point there is no excuse for running anything this poorly, so to management: either let it be a "co-op" or tighten up!
