CityROCK

We had my son's 8th birthday party this past weekend and it was AMAZING!!! The staff was great, everyone was friendly and wonderful with the kids, the party room is nice and we were able to bring in all our own food and drinks. The staff helped decorate and got all the kids fitted for shoes and harnesses in a timely manner. The kids climbed on the starter walls first and then got to go into the big gym with the SUPER TALL WALLS! They LOVED it! Then we had plenty of time for pizza, cupcakes, and gifts without feeling rushed. After the food and gifts the kids got to go into The Cave, and while there was a little incident with a bloody nose while in the cave, the staff handled it well and all the kids had an amazing time. I highly recommend it for a fun and unique kids birthday party! Thank you to ALL the staff at City Rock for an unforgettable time! <3

One of the coolest places to take my kids in thr Springs. Younger kids (6 and under) will love the Aerie playground. There is a huge selection of auto-belays for newer climbers or those who don't want to take thr time to get trained by the staff on top-rope. The staff is awesome, friendly; and easy going. My 6byear old and 12 year old boys both said it was some of the most fun they've had. I hadn't climbed in years and I'm hooked again. The 10 punch pass is the way to go, unless you plan to get a membership.

Very inviting, especially for new comers. Friendly staff were very helpful. This was the first indoor rock climbing facility I've been to and I was blown away with how tall the some of the wall were.

We were visiting the area and we looking for something to do on a rainy day. This place was great. The gentleman with long hair who took care of us was very patient dealing with parents coming with a toddler having a tantrum. He was trying to find solutions to make it work and it did. They have a large space with many routes. The bouldering space is fairly large. Clean and everything in good condition. They have a small gym area. Highly recommend.

City Rock is incredible! The facility is huge with so many climbing options. We went for a class with UpaDowna, and it was seriously so much fun. The variety of walls and climbing features kept us entertained and challenged. Whether you're a beginner or experienced climber, there's something for everyone here. We can't wait to come back and explore more!

We love coming to City Rock with our 3-year-old! He’s especially a fan of the Aerie and the auto belay system, which keeps him excited and engaged. While the main climbing area isn’t super kid-friendly when it gets busy, it’s still a fun experience for the whole family. The people here are generally kind, and the staff do a good job working with kids most of the time. It’s definitely a great place to introduce little ones to climbing and enjoy some active family time. Looking forward to many more visits!

Best gym and friendly staff. Setters keep a variety problems and set often. Great gym for little ones. Our little one was 16 months to 28 months old and developed her climbing and had a blast on the indoor slides.

This place is where it's at! I don't live too close, so membership isn't a viable option for me, but if I was nearby, it would be a no brainer! Let's start with the bad, cause there isn't much there. The parking isn't totally ideal. That's about the only bad thing I can think of, other than that, this gym is a 5 out of 5! The climbing routes/problems are incredibly diverse. There is something for everyone here. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. The facility is clean, the bathrooms are clean, and there's tons of space. The culture and vibes are that of a retro climbing gym, not something you find in modern gyms lately, the members here are just so welcoming, it feels like a second home. I ALWAYS make a point to visit when I'm in the area. Which is often. -Anonymous Climbing Gym Reviewer

We came here for an afternoon of climbing while in town visiting family. It was my first time here, so it took a good 30 mins before getting to the actual climbing because of needing to sign a waiver, watch a safety video, and take a belay test. I'm an experienced climber, but I understand the need to do these things to ensure safety. They have a lot of auto belay stations set up which is nice if you're coming here alone or want to try something different than your partner. They have some great top rope routes but I was really surprised how much of the gym was closed! I understand doing some construction work and resetting routes, but I wish they didn't decide to do this on three separate areas all at the same time. Two big sections on the main climbing walls were closed, and the entire upstairs was roped off as well. If they're going to have a third of the gym top rope routes closed, I feel like they need to give a discount on their day pass rate. It was pretty congested at times with all the climbers there trying to fit on the smaller sections of wall that were available. I'm sure they wouldn't close this many routes at once on a busy weekend, but I was pretty bummed that they did on the day we were there. It wasn't the best first impression for me, so I'd probably try a different gym next time we are here visiting.

Took the grandkids here for a birthday celebration and was pleasantly surprised at the amount and rules of climbing available for children under 6 on addition to all of the other options! The kids had a blast climbing nets, ropes, and walls. Walking around the place, I was very impressed by the number of very tall rock climbing walls available, a cave climbing area for kids and a great variety of things for people of all ages to do.

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very lovely indoor rock climbing environment. There is also a bar and grill attached creating a space for community interaction after climbing.

This place took myself and my sister from beginners to lead climbers! Classes are very educational and helpful. Great boulder, toprope, and lead climbing walls.

Drove in from another town about an hour forty-five out. Went on a Monday around 10/11 am. - Street parking only or paid lots around the area. Meter parking is $1.50/hr and you can pay either cash or card. - The day pass is $22, I had my shoes but rented a harness for $6 - If you're apprehensive about getting a day pass, ask to do a quick walk around and see if you like the space. - Save time, and do the waiver online at home, you'll still watch a 5-minute safety video when you get there, which is standard. - They offer auto belays, top rope, lead, and bouldering. - Their space is on the smaller side but they utilize it very well. - Some top rope routes share an auto-belay option, something I've never seen before. - They have boulder routes, which also cross over one another to provide more, but within a similar level (ex: V0, V1, and V1/V2). - QR codes located around to help climbers with problem-solving routes They have a small gym on the top loft, as well as a small area where they explain what specific holds are called and a small wall where you can work on that hold. Example: Problem with slopers? Try a shorter wall (auto belay) with just different-sized slopers.

Great Climbing Gym, People are rad, good vibes. Being able to grab a bite to eat or beer w/ friends after working out or climbing is convenient

Great place!! Gave instructions perfect. Made sure everyone knew what they were doing.

Heck yes I recommend this business! Went one time for free and got a membership before I left. The environment was very welcoming and encouraging. Tons of positivity and exercise/safety focused. Lots a friendly people. The equipment was great. I'm going to yoga classes they offer with membership (maybe I'll be more flexible after doing physical therapy lol). The staff was great. Tons of fun. Big time 5 stars!

Fun place with lots of 43ft walls. Great staff that are helpful and informative. This place has a nice vibe with friendly climbers all around. Lots of climbing level options.

- has a variety of bouldering and climbing routes - has auto belay with manual belay possible in some - has cubicles for your stuff, didn't see lockers - rented shoes and harness were good - no dedicated parking - lots of spots for kids (and gear for kids) - had audiovisual presentation prior to starting and someone assisted us regarding the auto belay mechanism and climbing courtesy Highly recommend this place for climbing (lots of people though). Hopefully, parking will improve.

I've been coming to City Rock about a year now, and I like the experience a lot. I honestly am a pretty terrible climber, but they have enough variety that I'm able to find some routes that are challenging and helping me grow, but still doable. They also share the space with the Ute & The Yeti, which is nice for a post-climb beer (plus member discount - love it!) The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because of the renovations. I get it, they want to re-do the inside. And I know I'm going to love it! But it's going on for a long time, and honestly it's super hard to focus with the loud sounds going on! I almost wish they would just close for a little and get it all done without needing to send sawdust into the air and have crazy loud noises while I'm trying to focus on not falling. I'm really looking forward to finding new things to love about the renovations, but I hope they're done soon!

Stopped in for a family outing with my husband, 15, 12 and 10 year old. We have never been rock Climbing indoors before so we didn't really know what to expect. Mind you, I don't have a lot to compare it to but we thought it was AMAZING! Tons of different areas to climb at any and every level of experience. We did do The cave climbing just rock climbing this time around big overall we had a great experience! -1 for the staff... the people at the front desk were rude, seemed annoyed that we were there, and less then helpful especially since it was our first time and we had no idea what we were doing. Also -1 for the cost. I don't have anything to compare it to but it was an expensive family outing that's for sure. We left with our kids begging to go back next week but for the cost of a family of 5.... it will probably be a rare outing.

What is up with the parking situation? Anyway, great huge gym. The top rope routes are massive, the bouldering section is a good size, not too overwhelming, and the facility is spacious with good employees. The routes set are a very wide range and interesting, great combination of static and dyno type moves, overall a great gym with access to a little bar area.

I just moved to Colorado, and have been visiting several climbing gyms to call home. I am an avid climber and love the community. I came into City Rock on a Sunday night last week, and was baffled by how rude this man at the front desk was. I've never been treated so poorly and disrespectful by an employee. I was an inconvenience to him. I do not condone or want to be part of that kind of climbing community. Other than that, the gym is fantastic and diverse. Not worth the rude staff though. I've never written a yelp review before this. But I am seriously shocked, and want to bring attention to it. No one deserves to be treated like a pest.

Great place for all ages and levels of experience. My kids (7 years, 11 years and 13 years) had a blast rock climbing and crawling through the cave.

We just went to City Rock yesterday for a birthday party. Their kids facilities were awesome, and my 3 yo LOVED sliding down and climbing back up. This gym has a ton to do and a lot to offer. We will definitely be back. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was there is no easy way to tell who works here when you need help. There were a lot of people there, and some older kids were out of control. My daughter got kicked in the face by a 8-10 yo who was jumping down the climbing wall, and I couldn't figure out where the parents were or which staff to talk to. I know they are busy and cannot manage all the kids, as this is a climbing gym, not a daycare, but I would've liked to be able to tell someone before a kid was really injured.

I took my 9 year old granddaughter, thinking we'd stay about an hour. By 2:00 I said we really needed to eat lunch! Very nice the price is good all day so we went back and stayed til 5. She wanted to go back the next day! (but we didn't) The staff is great---very patient and knowledgeable. There are many climbing walls to suit the age and/or expertise of the climber. You must wear sneakers or for $5 you can rent theirs--but your own would be better. (or at least take them to see if they are ok) If your hands get sore, ask for their resin (or chalk?) powder. There were a few younger kids but most were older and young adults. All were having a blast.

I just started climbing, but the staff has been super helpful. So far I have seen no issues with CityROCK. The gym is currently going through a remodel, but has offer people the chance to hold their membership free of cost, if the noise is too irritating for you. About the only knock I have is the initiation fee. I feel that anytime a places charges you money to give them money it is ridiculous. I will say this that they did cut the cost in half, because I did the EFT payment. I don't know if this was a selling tool, a current promotion, or what. If you are going to signup don't just assume this is a guarantee as the front desk clerk, honored it, but didn't know about it. As for the walls all I can tell you is I'm glad they have the easier routes spread out. I'm not stuck in a corner or feel like I'm segregated because I'm a noob. Also, I haven't seen or experienced any customer being a Jerky McJerkface in the gym either. While something like that shouldn't mark CityROCK's review, I realize that someone shaming you because you are a beginner can be difficult to handle or want to put up with. So far the atmosphere from other customers have been either friendly, or just you do your thing and I'll do mine.

While visiting Colorado Springs our hosts presented us with a local coupon book which included a BOGO coupon for a climbing day pass at City Rock. Setting the GPS for go we were on our way. The downtown area was slammin' and I must say I definitely upset the traffic flow with my reversing into my parallel parking spot - which I made on my first go (to note I found drivers quite erratic and aggressive in the Springs). After paying the meter we were on our way in. Following the completion of our liability waivers we watched the required climbing safety video before renting our gear. The gym was a good size and surprisingly busy for a Monday morning. Loads of bouldering problems to solve and fairly high climbing walls. The route setters were doing their thing re-setting so some of the bouldering area was off limits. Still there was a wide range of problems to solve which I thought was great. Sometimes climbing gyms cater mostly to more advanced climbers and I did not find that to be the case here. What I greatly enjoyed (which I've seen at a few other gyms) was that after you top out on the bouldering wall you can take a slide back down to the bouldering area. My partner thought deathly afraid of heights braved the wall and rode down once which left me elated. The gym also two slacklines which provided some great fun while we rested our sore hands/fingers. To note there was also ample seating in and around the bouldering wall to relax post pump as well as brainstorm just how to solve that tough problem. Probably the most efficient climbing gym I've ever been to in terms of registration and clear safety and behavior expectations of patrons. Will definitely visit again on my next trip to the springs.

This place is huge! They have rock climbing for kids and adults. For the real young kiddos they have a room upstairs which is more kid friendly with hidden passages and a slide. They even offer a cave exploring which you can track your progress on a screen. They even have yoga and a small gym area to workout. You can easily entertain yourself for hours at this place. Parking is a bit expensive at "their" side parking lot. I would suggest parking across the street for cheaper rates. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat.

Disclaimer: I have little previous experience at indoor climbing climbing gyms, although I am well-versed in the technical aspects of climbing. City Rock deserves five stars. The gym is larger and "grander" than I could have ever imagined. After a thorough safety video, it was time to tighten up the harness, slip on some climbing shoes (or bring your own; they reassured me that every pair is sanitized). Before heading out to climb solo (or belay with a partner), we practiced using the auto-belay with a trained expert. As I scaled the holds and ascended higher and higher, I thought to myself: How on earth am I going to let go and safely find solid ground?! The first descent is the scariest. I leaned back, took a deep breath and fell backward. After a pang of instinctual panic, the auto belay responded, sending me gracefully to the ground. After I received the "ok" to climb, I ventured to a few of the walls in the large, cavernous room beyond the main floor. City Rock sets the standard for an amazing climbing experience.

This review comes from being there since it opened at the new downtown location. I started climbing there as soon as it open and watched as they invested and added more to the gym as it grew (the newest being the upstairs bouldering and training area). I can stay I gladly wasted a lot of time at the gym working out fantastic problems and routes, participating in a open workouts, taking classes, or just hanging out talking. The lead climbing here at the gym is the best in the area, which is why I sought out this place. The huge arch and tall walls allow for lots of different types of training for powerful dynamic routes or techy balance routes. You find routes from 5.6 to 5.13 and the routes are changed monthly, which gives a great amount of variety, but enough time to project something. They also have auto-belays on the majority of the walls, which is great if you don't have a partner, or just want to get a bunch of laps in which making someone your belay slave. The staff was always helpful as I saw it grow and become more seasoned. They spend a good bit of effort on safety and have some watching the floor for experienced people making forgetful mistakes or keep helping newbies become comfortable and safe. I took a couple of the climbing classes throughout the years here and can say they have greatly help me become more comfortable climbing, becoming more social with other climbers, and help me become the fittest i have ever been in my life. A class I would recommend if they still offer them, is a climbing movement class focusing on foot work and balance. This class was the best for me to allow me to learn how to properly and easily move while on the wall. This was great place to make lots of friends with my similar interests. I made some of my best friends in the area of Colorado Spring here, which anyone living in the area knows can be hard and very sketchy to find normal people. 1 more tip: After leaving the gym and heading for a beer, go to brewer's republic (across the street) and tell them you were at CityRock and get a $1 or $2 off your beer.

Great staff, great environment, great climbing: great gym. Been climbing for a few years, predominantly outdoors in Southern California. What gym-time I did have was in the Los Angeles area. Upon moving to Colorado Springs, one of the very first things I tried to do was look up a rock-climbing gym to get plugged into. Visited CityRock merely because it was closest and I've been glad i did every day since. CityRock is apparently a relatively-new gym, opened just a year ago. I actually ended up getting checked-in by what turned out to be one of the co-owners. Not knowing this, I was chatting with him and explained that I was new to the area and was looking to get involved in the climbing-scene. He then (unsolicited) offered to introduce me around...and promptly walked me over to the bouldering-area and hooked me up with one of the guys there, who offered to team up with me for Top-roping. Sweet! And that's the kind of place CityRock is: a great environment where everyone is friendly and helpful. I know that one problem I've always had feeling comfortable at rock-climbing gyms in the past is that oftentimes the "feel" of the gym will suck when the group of "regulars" at the gym develop an elitist attitude towards newcomers (and, well, even non-newcomers). I don't see any of this at CityRock: I see new people coming in all the time...and the staff do a really good job of showing them around, introducing them to people, setting them up for climbing-success. Whatever they're doing to foster this positive environment...I encourage them to keep it up! With that social comment out of the way (which i think is really important in a climbing gym), on to some other details: -the creativity of a lot of the climbs here (both wall and bouldering) are really impressive: a large number of the climbs I've down have been real smokers, but highly enjoyable! (some real setting-geniuses there) -spacious and airy: this is NOT a super-cramped gym where they try to fill every possible space with climbing stuff. While this means that there's some space they could better-utilize, it doesn't have that super-cramped feel you get at some gyms. -slacklining: have 2 slacklines set up...which keep pwning me To summarize: great gym. Been telling all my friends at home about this place...and I'm fully-confident that any non-jerk I'd send here would be greatly-pleased by their experience. Looking forward to much time spent here in the future...

Now, here is a climbing gym! From the friendly staff to the wall to the slacklines, everything about CityRock is top notch. So where shall I start? First, the route setting is on point. They maintain a good range of climbs both in difficulty and in style. There is something for the most novice of climbers as well as the most experienced. I also like how they have comment cards directly on the wall, so climbers can leave their own feedback. I'm all about sharing an experience (hence my fascination with yelp) so I find this a cool unique feature. Next, the shear variety of wall surface is awesome. Their tope-rope routes are taller than most indoor gyms I've been to, being just north of 40'. They also have an incredible roof you can lead, should you dare. And then there is the bouldering: three levels of climber paradise. In addition to all the climbing, they also have three slacklines (two low-lines and a high line) and a yoga studio where they teach classes. Essentially, CityRock is a playground for virtually everything adventurous.

About two years ago, I started rock climbing. I began ON rock and climbed a bunch for about two years. I went to a few classes (by independent instructors not necessarily employed by City Rock) and climbed a bunch at City Rock. After all this, I discovered that I am a top rope whore and too damn afraid to lead climb. Sincerely, City Rock is the best climbing gym in the Springs. It really is. Especially compaired to the place up north, to which I have not been in a while so it could've changed in a year and a half. Not only bouldering and tall, roped climbing walls, ice holds to practice dry tooling, and high lining, slack lining (at which I suck). Yoga classes (which I have never taken), free movie nights sponsored by UPADOWNA as well as presentations benefiting the Rocky Mountain Field Institute. There is also a pretty cool area for kids, up on the second level, where the projection room used to be when this was a theater. The employees are all pretty nice. the routes are changed regularly. Ice night is pretty cool!!! Classes and camps for kids. Definitely MORE than a fan of City Rock.

This is where the cool kids train for epics at the crag. By far the best climbing gym in the area. The details: routes from 5.6 to light 13s, setters unveil new routes monthly, lots of roofs, sustained overhangs and vertical terrain plus two lead-climbing walls/arches, 8+ auto belays for single climbers, large bouldering area with a campusing section, monkey bars, two low and one high slack line, near-nightly yoga (thursdays are acro-yoga!), equipment rental and beverage counter. Monthly climber comps keep things fresh on the walls and gives non competitors a chance to try (and rate) the comp routes before the competition. Friendly staff ensure safety and answer any questions you might have. They have womens-only, lead climbing and basic climbing courses, but I've never taken one. Monthly family membership is $77/month, which means that my husband and I break even on the 7 1/2th visit., so roughly once a week. The only con is that it gets pretty crowded after work, but its more motivation to leave the 5.9s to the recreational climbers and start flashing the 5.11s.

I am a terrible rock climber. Mainly because I don't practice enough. However, do I enjoy CityRock? You bet your socks I do! (Or shoes...some climbers don't wear socks) They have great top roping routes, from easy to extraordinarily difficult. I usually stick to the 5.8/9's and try my best...but that's the point. If you could do every climb, what's the point!? For those who are in the "promaster" range, they also have some crazy hard, mostly inverted climbs that I usually just watch in awe when people attempt and do. Great bouldering routes, very good at making you work on technique rather than muscle. To help make it cost efficient, you can buy a 10 punch pass (for about 100$). Harness included (usually a 5$ rental).Shoes not included, so I would check out steep and cheap or other discounted equipment. 10 rentals at 5$ is pretty much the same cost. Might as well use your own. Check it out if you're into climbing, especially with how the weather is going to shift soon

Fun date night at City Rock! A good memory with a very helpful staff. We were given easy instruction and teaching which made trying out the routes much easier and relaxing.

City Rock is a great climbing gym with lots of variety in climbing, great people, free Yoga and other non-climbing activities, and a great place to just hang out! Their climbing wall has really great variety - There are several faces of the wall that have roofs, incline, decline, overhangs. cracks, flakes, and more. All routes can be done lead-climbing (bringing the rope up with you), and most can be done top-roped. If you are an experienced climber, you know these are great features. If you are a beginner, they are features you will have a great time learning! There is a bouldering area. The bouldering wall also has a lot of roofs and overhangs to play with. Bouldering area is really great! One complaint I have about the bouldering wall, is that there are often competitions in bouldering. It takes the staff about 2 weeks to set up new routes for a competition, during this time the new routes are closed until the competition. This leaves the bouldering wall pretty bare for a week or two. A couple good routes are left up, but many are not. This does not happen often, it is only a suggestion to the staff to think about leaving more routes up while setting up competitions. In addition to climbing, there are many other great things at City Rock. There is slacklining (tightrope walking), there are Free YOGA classes, core/ab strength classes, and other group activities you can get into for no extra cost. There are pull-up bars and other exercise equipment, as well as an adjustable exercise wall that you can change the tilt. Great gym to have around!

This is a fun place but they really have no parking. You have to find a place on the street, sometimes far away, and pay...kind of a bummer for a gym

City Rock is a great rock gym here in Colorado Springs. It isn't the only one, but I do believe it's the only one that's not purely bouldering. I have a lot of experience with indoor gyms and this is definitely one of the best I've been to. It's very clean, the workers here are super nice, professional, and take safety seriously, which is important. The routes turnover often, which is nice. They have an espresso machine and serve coffee. They are also working to complete a new bar area that I've heard will have a few taps of local beers for post-climbing enjoyment. I really love the lounge area here, which has a fireplace and several comfy chairs for hanging out. In addition to a good number of top rope and sport climbs, and a large bouldering area, this gym also offers an area for strength training with things like a pull-up bar, finger boards, and three slack line setups. This gym has auto-belay stations along the wall as well, which is a huge plus in my book. There is also a small room with free weights but I haven't actually been up there so I can't attest to what it's like. The downside is that there are no cardio machines. However, I found that there's a river-side trail that you can catch just a few blocks east of the gym, and running outside is way better anyway. Finally, the gym offers a limited amount of yoga classes and they've partnered with a local massage studio to offer free 20 minute massages to members. The locker rooms have showers, which is a plus, and small lockers are available, although you have to bring your own lock. My friend and I have been coming a lot late;y to climb and hang out. This is really a nice place to get some good, fun exercise and then hang out. I can't wait until the bar area is complete!

Definitely harder grading than I'm used to in California, but a great gym nonetheless. Boulder area is tons of fun!

CityRock is my happy place. I started coming here to climb with my daughter when she was young. Once she got too busy with school activities I kept coming, first for yoga and then for climbing. The best part is the staff, they knew my name long before I knew many of theirs and have been super helpful with anything I've needed.

I joined this gym as a member two months ago and have been going 2-3 times a week. I'm brand new to climbing and the area and really wanted to start a new hobby, and I've loved it so far! Signing up was quick and easy. They got me up to speed with their orientation video, made sure my harness was on right and showed me all around. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do much without a partner, but they have plenty of auto-belays set up near a variety of routes. The bouldering is also so fun and everyone seems really good about taking turns and isn't judgey at all if you're a beginner. I don't have any points of comparison but the place is huge and has tons to offer. They're doing a bunch of construction right now and I'm excited to see what the place will look like when it's all done. The construction really isn't a big deal (so please be nice about it) and there's plenty of signs keeping you up to date about what's happening and when, plus there is still A TON of stuff to do. It can be tricky finding free parking around the gym, but if you drive just four or five blocks out of the way you'll find it and it's a super quick walk. Once you find the spots you're good. I'm so pleased with this place so far, it's exactly what I was hoping for!

This place is massive and has so many routes. I went on a Friday night expecting to see a large crowd but surprisingly it was not even that busy. Also it was only 15 dollars until closing for students which is such a good deal. I am considering going every Friday. The staff was honestly the best part. They were so friendly and loved interacting with their customers. They even challenged my friends and I to do a few routes. I will definitely go back often. It's also super cute and a perfect location. Also how smart is it to have a slide at the top of the bouldering routes!

Amazing staff and culture in this gym. The gym was a bit crowded but there was still enough to go around and I was rarely waiting to climb.

Super fun place!! Tons of routes, good vibes, great workout, it's a blast!!

While the facility is nice, the staff is very unprofessional as they do not foster a comfortable/positive gym environment for clients. Parking is terrible and often times the gym is overcrowded with elitist climbers or families with small children. Bottom-line: I want to feel comfortable in a place where I pay to be...city rock does not deliver.

$19 for two small children to get in and that just includes walking through the door. Another $18 for two harnesses and shoes. Over priced "fun". The children's area is nice and they had a lot of fun in that area. The climbing area for children has many fun play structures, tunnels, and slides but we won't be going back. They can climb at the rock wall at the park and we can save $40.

Best climbing gym ever!! Myself and my son love it here! Great people in a super friendly, active environment that fosters creativity, adventure, and fun! Will be keeping our membership for as long as we can!

Cool place! Helpful and friendly staff. I would come here again. If you haven't been here yet, its worth the trip. Fun experience.

As a beginner, I love CityRock! They have a ton of top-roping routes and a pretty decent sized bouldering area. They have auto-belayers available on most of their top-roping routes, which are helpful for me when I'm climbing without a partner. There's some fitness equipment as well, and two slacklines set up for anyone to use. They have a highline set up as well, but I've never been on it. There are yoga classes available throughout the week. They have a nice snack bar for when you need a little extra energy, the bathrooms are clean, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful.

When we first arrived and put our harness on the instructor was a little rude thinking we knew how to wear a harness. Instead of him going on and on about making sure we were ok with how we were wearing it I told him to explain to us how they should be worn. Which he finally realized he needed to educate us. After the initial instructions it was a lot better. Only suggestion is. Don't think everyone is educated on climbing and be a little bit more understanding. Overall it was fun once the initial intro was over.

Came to Colorado Springs to visit some friends and rock climbing came up in a conversation while we were hanging out. We looked up our options and headed down the street to City Rock. Walking in we realized how big this place was! We got to the counter and got helped by a really cute girl. $21 for shoes and a harness. We were ready. The staff was extremely helpful, showing us around the gym and how to use the auto-belay system. After a couple go's on the wall my arms were shot. The auto-belay system was awesome, requiring no additional support from a person, just climb and let go when you're ready. My buddy Phil had trouble trusting this mechanical device with his precious life, but it worked life a charm. Awesome experience and a heck of a good time.

Large, clean climbing gym with awesome routes and very nice staff. Also, the slide! I'm 24 but may as well be two when it comes to enjoying a little fun. I will definitely go back.

This is the best climbing gym I have been to. Staff really prioritize safety, and kids are well monitored. The route setting is the best I have ever climbed on, both on top rope and bouldering. The gym is currently undergoing renovations, but climbing is still available the entire time. The climbers here are chill and supportive, you very rarely see the stereotypical egocentric climber. This gym makes climbing one of the best sports out there!

We had a blast here with climbers age 5 to 40. Lots of variety of activities. Fun just to watch. Kids room is wonderful.

The more I go, the more i get to know the people, and it just gets better. The staff is friendly, it's easy to find a belay partner for the night or use the autobelays.
