Friendly staff, lots of interesting problems of all grades. Note, they use a non-standard grading system here of spots with plus or minus. I would prefer seeing standard grading, but just a minor nitpick.This location has the best cave/overhung bouldering in the area, and has consistently been set with interesting problems and movements every time Ive visited. Plenty of variety in all the walls, a nice training area with hangboards and a moonboard, and beer on tap!Plenty of street parking, however most require meter payment and are limited to two hours. Didnt notice an option to park anywhere else for free.Biggest reason for my rating is due to the entry price, which was $25 which I believe that makes it the most expensive gym, bouldering and top rope/lead climbing included, in the entire Denver area. They offer student/military discounts which knock of $6, but still too pricey for just bouldering.
Really nice spot, lots of good routes - takes a minute to get used to their grading system; but its not too much of a hassle (they even have a V-scale reference chart for the extra vigilant). So many routes!! Wonderful selection of choices. My only wish would be more corner problems.
Great climbing gym. My favorite in Denver. Memberships are affordable. They change the routes often enough that you dont get bored. Decent weight room. Ive never been here when it was super crowded either which is great.
This is an awesome gym with great routes that serves beer.I highly dislike their grading system and wish they would just use the standard VB - V17. It seems pointless and causes confusion.Review would be 5 stars if they used the normal rating system.
I’m a novice climber and The Spot was intimidating to me after I arrived and started getting in the wall. It’s a awesome looking gym and the staff was very friendly and personable. As for the routes, I had a hard time as a beginner finding problems that were accessible to me. I also dislike their grading system as I find it confusing and almost too subjective for the new climber. In addition, I’m a tall person (6’3”) and unfortunately, the walls aren’t very tall so I felt pretty claustrophobic. Probably will visit again when I’m a much better climber.
Great indoor climbing spot. I believe the original location is in Boulder. My friend is a manger that lays the climbing routes. They usually have music and drinks for new members annually. Awesome way to prepare for outdoor climbing. Also if the weather makes the rocks to slick outside just come here! Expert and new climbers unite!
One of my favorite places to go. Great routes. New wall seemingly every week, while still keeping the others intact for projecting. Great staff, great people, and they just opened 2 more locations. My favorite gym!
Love climbing here; climbing, beer and games.. can’t get any better than that
I like this place a lot. I hope they bring the discount day back, Im still an inexperienced climber. And I like meeting people.
The absolute best gym Ive ever been to. Staff is friendly, chill and helpful. Clean and has plenty of space, always loved it here
Loved the gym. Definitely one of my top bouldering gyms of all times!!!
This is a great facility for bouldering and training!the reason for the one star deduction is that they use their own grading system.
I. Love. This. Gym. After years of battling crowds and children in some of the larger climbing gym in the area, I have finally found my place! The Spot is definitely more of an adult oriented gym. The music selection is great and ranges from hip hop, indie, djent, metal, electronic, etc. The setting is interesting and varies in style - crimp ladders, compression, endurance, power... There are routes for everyone! As a total introvert, I appreciate that people are not constantly trying to talk me up or spray me down. Very respectful community and good climbing etiquette. There is enough gym equipment to fulfill most needs. They have sweet events. Im so thankful this gym opened and look forward to many years pulling plastic here.
The Spot is a treat! While Im not a member, I jump at any chance I get for day passes and gym trades. This bouldering-only gym is FILLED to the brim with routes - new climbers will be pleased not to be shut down on everything and experienced climbers will always have something to work towards. This place has all types of routes, walls, and interesting holds. I love the feeling of climbing in a newer gym!! 10/10 would recommend!
Favorite place to climb in Denver, they rotate the walls every couple weeks and have a good mix of routes for all skill sets. Bring your mask and youll have good time!
Visiting Denver for work and picked this place to do some bouldering. It was a great choice! No sign up fee so it was reasonably priced to show up and climb as a non-regular. The staff and other climbers are really friendly, its a nice atmosphere. They use their own grading system, which is definitely not linear, but very friendly and encouraging to beginners. Perhaps not ideal for pros, but I had a great time!
The route setting here offers something for everyone; its a perfect place to introduce friends and family and has enough challenging routes for the experienced climber. The grading system is a bit different from a 1-5 with very small increments in difficulty from 1-3+ that help a novice build there skill set and vocabulary of climbing movement, from there on, the routes become more challenging. The setting style is also different enough from other local gyms that its great just to stop in for a change up and variety from the types of routes presented at my usual gym.
Awesome place to get in shape in a fun way.
Very welcoming gym! Lots of easy routes and plenty of really interesting challenges! The staff also is friendly and helpful. Everything you could want in a gym!!! Plus oh my word the bathrooms! They are gorgeous
The Spot Denver is a great gym. I have never done Bouldering but have started going here since they opened and am really enjoying it. I feel welcomed. There are plenty of routes and new ones are added pretty frequently. The quantity of routes per difficulty is very fair. Everyone is respectful and the staff is very helpful if you have any questions. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking into climbing and if you arent sure try it out anyway, they have very fair daily rates.
What a great gym!! Fantastic climbing community and challenging problems. Plus beers on tap!!!
The staff here were super friendly more specifically Tristan was helpful and outgoing with super good energy. Overall very few complaints about this gym it is modern and has a large amount of wall space for boulders. The COVID rules are reasonable other than 2 people allowed on the kilterboard at a time. I like the training area but wish they had combined the weights and the hang boards or added grippul/pinch blocks. Pads felt great and they also have a little bar to hang out at with beer taps after you climb.
The staff is so friendly and warm to newcomers. I highly recommend joining this community of positive, supportive people who like to be strong and impressive. Their Grand Opening had lots of great deals, lots of community members, and more than anything, a lot of fun and laughter.I highly recommend The Spot.
Awesome gym with awesome people! Really spacious, clean, and great staff to go along with it. So happy that The Spot could come to Denver. The Boulder location is really nice with the older-style problems and boulders you can top out, but the Denver location has so many unique and creative problems its almost hard to see them all! Glad to call this place my home gym.
Great local bouldering gym with unique, dynamic routes and SO MUCH natural light! Friendly staff, nice bathrooms, super clean.Holds and walls are still a little rough because the gym is so new, but we are so happy to have them in the neighborhood!
Great route setting and good atmosphere. Not quite as awesome as Boulder but nice spot to go to. Not overly busy the few times (Saturday early afternoons) Ive gone.
I live this gym! Workers are friendly, routes are fun and diverse, and the place is just exceptional.
Fun even if you dont climb, $5 shoes and free entry with a sticker. The guys who work there are so so so nice and cool. Thanks!
Great location really close to downtown so it’s easily accessible. Staff is friendly and so far, they have been active with switching out old routes, holding events, and supporting the local community and the outdoors. Haven’t been to the Boulder location but I’m sure it’s equally as good if it’s run by the same people!
Dope new place to boulder. The problems are grades different then movement and earth. But its cool spot with allot of problems.
TLDR: One of the unfriendliest gyms I’ve been to.Being a member of this place from the opening, I can vouch for the experience I’ve had here.Especially if you’re a person of an ethnicity other than ancestrally European (ie white), avoid this place. You’ll get weird stares from everybody. Nobody will engage you. Nobody will give you the slightest ‘good job’.I mention the last part because, for a place that touts a friendly ‘community’, this misses the mark big time.
Great place for all levels.
Fun bouldering gym with routes for all levels
Joined for their grand opening and ended up getting a membership. So far, a great space and really welcoming community! I even had a nice chat with one of the owners. I would love to see some community building efforts geared at making the gym more accessible/welcoming to climbers often left on the sidelines or not explicitly welcomed - such as regular women/femme, LGBT+, and POC climbing Meetup nights!
Best bouldering spot in denver!!
Obscenely good vibes. Great friction coefficients.
Shout out to the amazing setters at The Spot (especially Sarah)! Love the diversity of problems - from techy slabs to pumpy overhangs and everything in between. The problems are actually interesting, not just a burl fest like some of the other gyms. And its only a 20 minute walk from my place! So glad they opened in Denver :)
Really chill place to boulder. Good friendly staff
World class route setting, great music, friendly and knowledgeable staff, glad to have The Spot now in Denver
Place is clean
Its finally here!
I love! Very good place with lots of space
