Great gym! Beware, the ratings have gotten harder lately

Great route setting. There was a great diversity of style and grading. All of the routes were authentically hard, not difficult because they were awkward. Everyone was very nice as well!

Great spot for some in door boulders, wish there was more rope climbs but thats just preference.

One if my favorite climbing gyms. Been coming here for a couple years and never gets old. Excellent problems and great vibes.

While we enjoyed the actual gym we found the staff unprofessional. My wife felt harassed by the owners wife. My wife asked a simple questions and then felt embarrassed in front of other climbers.

Great local bldring gym. Cant beat a beer off the tap when your pumped out.

Super fun bouldering gym! Interesting problems, lots of neat holds, chill atmosphere. Good for fun!

Visited on Monday January 6th 2020.The staff was amazing and welcoming, the routes where fun and the atmosphere good.I would Highly recommend it if you are visiting boulder and need a place to climb!

THE place for indoor bouldering in Boulder. Super friendly staff, lots of interesting climbers for company, and all the gym equipment you could ask for.

Used to be super classic, now its just sandbagged.

Great facility! Love the layout, challenging but fun! Staff was super friendly! Would love to go back!

Staff is great, excellent climbing gym for beginners or experts

Overall a decent climbing gym (3 star compared to Seattle Bouldering Project or other top tier gyms). Grades are a little all over the place (5 dot system, but a 3- feels equivalent to a V0, so they only use half of their scale). The walls types are overhang dominated (they have maybe 2 small slab sections that dont get any love from the setters). The setting is its main redeeming quality and has been great so far. Culture-wise, maybe a little bro-y; significantly more male dominated than BRC. S&C is definitely nicer at BRC, but they do have all the essentials.

The spot is nothing short of amazing, however they need to do a set where there are no holds at the top of the font Boulder. Make things a little more interesting... Maybe for highballs and highlines..

60$-80$ a month To climb with a mask on. Limited reservations book out fast. No thanks save your money. Go outside breathe and exercise naturally Until the paranoia blows over.

Good climbing, nice people, good beer

Awesome Boulder destination equipped with a slack for all my slackers out there.

Diverse and interesting setting, great music, and shout out to Austin for being super welcoming!

Good climbing with nice route setting.+ : wide with different profiles and some very nice problems- : Unfortunately too dense and complex coloured tapes. Some routes are polished

I love the spot. Team ascent forever of course, but the spot is defiantly my favorite gym in Boulder. Psychedelia is a como which absolutely cannot be missed, the tape art is beautiful.

A great bouldering gym with fun problems! Good taste in music being played as well.

Ive been climbing here for 6 years as of 2017, and it never gets old. The routes change regularly, and the setters always show great creativity. I also love the height of the bouldering walls. Good selection of workout equipment as well. The one minor critique I have is that the locker room could use some better ventilation (and getting rid of the carpet would be great), but its not a big deal. Overall Im a huge fan.

Great routes, not very crowded during the day but at night it can get busy as one would expect. Helpful and cheerful staff, nothing to complain about. If you want to start climbing and dont know where to go, heres a good place.

Friendly staff. Very good route setting.

The Spot is an awesome Bouldering Gym! They have something for all skill levels there. Ive been going to the Spot for well over 6 years and always feel challenged when I walk in the door. Their route setters are top notch and always keep you guessing on whats coming next. They have a permanent slack line set up in the back of the gym to warm up your balance and coordination and have all the weights necessary to get your heart rate up up before you start climbing. Not only do they have awesome climbing but they also have beer on tap!

One of my favorite places in Boulder. I joined this gym a few years ago not knowing how to climb at all and am still going regularly. They have gained pads up to your knees that can absorb any fall and new routes each week.

I believe the Spot has the best setting in Boulder. While the facility may not be new and shiny, it more than makes up for it by having a strong sense of community. I have met so many genuine, passionate climbers at the Spot and every time I go climbing I am blown away by the supportive, friendly atmosphere. The staff always make an effort to get to know their members and their customer service always exceeds my expectations. The Spot definitely feels like a home away from home to me.

The Spot is a great gym. The staff are friendly and they change the routes often enough to keep things interesting. It is mainly a bouldering gym but there is a wall with some auto-belay systems, although Ive never seen anyone use them. They have a gym upstairs with a few machines, some free weights, and a squat rack. They also have classes and exercises that are free for members.

Caution to those with respiratory issues! This is not the gym for you. When I checked out this gym a few nights ago, I could actually see the haze of dust in the air, and by next morning I was sucking on my inhaler. Aside from the chalk, the place is unfortunately just grimy.Apart from cleanliness and air quality issues, it is fine. There are a ton of problems, some better marked than others. Like many bouldering gyms, more of their space is dedicated to overhang and problems V4 and higher. There are fewer options for V1-V3 or for vertical or slab problems, though theres still enough to keep one busy. Setting in the V1-V3 range wasnt particularly imaginative, but I did find a few interesting challenges. A lot of the V4 and up problems looked really fun.

The setting is incredible at this gym. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. There are many family friendly events, usually at least once per month. They also have weekly trivia, although the questions are pretty basic from my experience.

Excellent community. Low snootiness factor. Best route setting west of the Mississippi.Almost entirely bouldering. They reset at least one area every week and sometimes the entire gym for fairly frequent competitions.

Avery beer, 2.50 during happy hour for members. There’s a climbing wall too.

If youre into bouldering, this is the place to be. Great gym with fun events and a good atmosphere. Their base walls are constructed in a natural featured rock style that I much prefer to the flat polygons you see on so many modern walls.

Fun gym. Super dense route setting, unfortunately it is tape instead of monochromatic setting. It was a little funky smell wise buy it is bacause the climbers go hard here! I will be back next trip through CO.

Super chill place, fun problems good holds. Reset often and the padding is super thick and soft so you can go hard without worry. You see a decent amount of pros here as well which is always cool. A price reduction would be welcome but rates are pretty standard for the industry.

My wife and i visited this place today. This was our first time climbing, and we are unsure of what to expect. Its an inviting and easy going place. We found the people and staff very friendly and had a great time. Would definitely recommend.

The staff here is excellent. Its at an awkward stage now, where I dont know if were all best friends, or if they just take their jobs dead seriously. - Truly, they keep me coming back.The Spot has been an excellent way for me to build my strength/technique over the winter.Plenty of walls, good tunes, a slackline set, unique grip training area, weights included. Of course good people all around!

If you want to take on all levels of Bouldering... The Spot is the place to go. The prices are generally good, with frequent discounts on, say, Friday afternoons.Usually its not too crowded to enjoy, and the routes are changed weekly - so if you master a route one week, you can come back and it will have changed quite significantly!

Sick gym with character. Lots of problems, with new sets every week. Fun, dynamic setting style. Also a nice training area with a few hang boards, a systems board, and two campus boards. Staff is also really friendly, and theres a stack of local guidebooks and beer on tap at the front desk.

An extremely friendly environment for climbing. Ive been coming for over 2 years and its my favorite spot in Boulder for bouldering. Kid friendly too.

Clean, friendly, and fun. Oh did I mention the customer service is pretty good as well. Priced right.Edit. Still one of the best in the country

This place has become my second home. The staff is amazing, the vibe is great. People always willing to help with problems and give advise. I highly highly recommend checking it out.

Super fun crowd. They change the routs each week so youre always trying something new. Lots of overhang space. Love the vibe and the soundtrack. Nice community.

Great gym, great setting, some really amazing climbers.Gets crowded and chalk-filled in the evenings, stays calm and quiet during the day.

Exciting place to be on Friday nights. With the house music, it is like the club for climbers. There is even a bar in house. I dont consider myself a boulderer, but I still love this place.

My go-to hang out place. Good tunes and people.

Training area upstairs with equipment and many hang boards. Routes go by dot system. Helpful staff and clean facility. Went later at night when it was not so busy, not too sure about other hours of the day.

Excellent bouldering for all ages and experience levels. So much fun! Highly recommended!

Came with family. Great place to bond with kids. My kids loved this place.

Still a 10 in my book. Of course, theres always a flat iron or several that one can just go do it by self sustained steam power, LOL. And then ice climb on the offseason, as if!Or with a partner and ropes. Or just bouldering how about what you can of course move Boulders anywhere along the creek path...

Absolutely amazing gym, love the atmosphere and staff. Really laid back and chill. Great for intermediate and advanced climbers

Good routes even for beginners or those who havent climbed in a while. They are pretty expensive if you are a university student the CU climbing gym is a better deal unless you are a super serious climber. Overall I had a good experience but bring a friend I was there for an hour and only talked to 1 person briefly so not the most open community of people but it could have been they day I was there on Christmas eve

Problems here were very accesible, everything felt fairly graded that my brother and I got into. This really is just a bouldering gym though, very small and limited top roping section. They have Avery beer on tap!

Best bouldering gym around. A bit grungy compared to other gyms. Come check it out on Friday for half off entry with cheap Avery beer.

Super friendly. My son and I went by to check it out (he is 2). They were great, let us explore and didnt pressure me into paying or signing him up.

Amazing routesetting by some of the best. I learned to climb at The Spot, so I know theyre awesome to beginner climbers and theyve kept me busy with some nice projects every time Ive been around Boulder since.Great unique walls, best gym cave Ive climbed in and all types of climbing spread throughout. Next time its too hot or too cold for Flagstaff, go to The Spot.

Really awesome bouldering spot. Lots of new routes every week or so!

Love this gym! The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable! Great place for a quick and different kind of workout!

Friendly people and tons of routes for all ability levels

The current 4.8 rating seems inflated. Its a small gym lacking variety: only overhangs and a few vertical routes. No positive routes, no volumes, no balance routes.The campus and fitness section is outright poor, even basics like a decent pull-up bar are missing.Non-standard grading system and tape-coded routes instead of colour-coded holds.Front desk was staffed with three people, all of them ignoring us for minutes.

Fantastic fun! Go hard or take it easy either way youll get a great workout and have a blast.

Fun place to climb filled with awesome people. May be busy a lot, but that just helps when ya cany figure out a route on your own!

Great work out. I was too scared to boulder but everyone here is friendly and even cheer you on. If you havent already, I suggest you give bouldering a chance because it is a great full body exercise.

My forearms have never looked better. Reasonable membership price, nice people and great membership benefits. This is a boulder institution.

Personally I feel as if they have the best route setters in boulder. I mainly climb outside and the only reason i go to the gym is to get stronger, the spot is definitely the spot to do so!

Awesome rock climbing gym that is fully dedicated to bouldering. The route setting is very good and there are so many routes to choose from!

Great place with great membership benefits and prices. Wide variety of walls and they change the routes on a regular basis. If your into climbing and want to improve your skills or just stay in the game over the winter this is the spot for you!

I cannot exercise for the hell of it but I can participate in activities. Climbing here exercises your mind and body all under the guise of fun.

I really like coming here to challenge my bouldering skills every once in a while and the slack line they have set up is pretty sweet also.

Great place with fun people and lots of plastic rocks! Wide range of difficulties, textures, and movements. Highly recommended if you want to let your inner boulderer fly free.

Great place. Varied routes for climber levels, well marked and easy to follow.

Fantastic Bouldering area - so much to climb! What an amazing place. During the day is best for me, as I went once after work and it was a little crowded.

I love the community at the Spot and the gym is so massive that there is always something new to try. Great gym to train at!

Cool staff, fun place. I appreciated that they had some real food. Not sure how I feel about the dot system.

Best rock climbing around. Consistent refreshing of routes. Good community and a reasonable price.

Excellent space and problem selection for all level climbers. Fun events and competitions that are open to all. Friendly staff and no were to good for you attitude you might find in other rock climbing gyms. If you want to boulder, The Spot is the location for you.

The Spot is an old school, chalky, no frills bouldering gym. The main attraction is the route setting and it is phenomenal.

Awesome place to climb. Fantastic features with lots of interesting problems.

Awesome gym - my favorite in boulder

So many different routes and suitable for all levels I could spend hours in here

Great bouldering. Amazing staff. Fresh route rotation on the reg.

This place is easily the best climbing gym in Boulder, maybe even the world. Come climb then relax and grab a beer (yes they serve beer at the gym!)

Best bouldering gym in town, and probably in Colorado. Famous climbers climb here.

They are horrible about cancelling membership, and are forcing me to overdraft despite the fact that I havent been in a month and dont have time to climb. Find a different gym.Edit: changed 1 star to 3. I ended up getting help after plenty of effort.

Comps are always fun here!! Always super fun.

Great climbing with lots of choices for every skill level, nice and helpful employees, smells like a sweaty locker room.

Best bouldering place in Boulder. Really friendly staff, fun routes for all levels, and really friendly patrons

Had a great time bouldering with my daughter.

Great routesetting, great for beginners to experts alike! The only climbing gym in the area with a slackline. Friendly, helpful staff and a fun vibe.

Hella cool bouldering really fun always some fun problems

Amazing bouldering, a lot of variety, so much wall space, everything a boulderer could hope for in a gym. Every time I left to try another gym for variety, a month or two later I would end up coming back.

Im not an avid boulderer, but the few times my roommate has taken me Ive really enjoyed The Spot. There are tons of routes and they get changed up regularly so finding a new problem is never hard.The atmosphere is chill yet focused with a mix of pros to beginners and all of the interactions Ive had with others have been positive. Its awesome watching the really good climbers zip up routes and make it look easy!Theres a nice workout area upstairs too with a couple of stationaries, bars, and freeweights.

Best climbing gym in Boulder and super supportive of other local communities and businesses.

So much fun! But the show rentals smell like hella feet.

Boulders best SPOT for bouldering, fantastic setting, tons of boulders, great vibe

This gym has consistently great bouldering routes and a friendly crowd.

Best Bouldering gym in the country hands down. World class setting. The environment is top notch, super good vibe... Nothing pretentious about the Spot. Plusssssss, they support slacklining...being a Pro Slackliner this is a huge upside and keeps me coming back year after year :)

Rad spot. Lots of wall area, slacklines and even beers on tap. If only they had rope climbing too

Great routes. Good people, friendly staff

Very Good Bouldering Gym.Offers nice climbs in every grade.
