My husband and I always love to go to whetstone. We have been a member of this gym for almost one year. All staff are super friendly and kind. I enjoy not only climbing but also yoga classes as well. This place is great!

From the moment i arrived i knew i wanted to become a member. They have stuff for all ages and skill levels! Right now i see they have a fun summer camp that the kids love! Theyre constantly changing up the routes and its a pretty large facility. The staff is friendly and remembered me by name after i visited only a handful of times and all the other members are friendly and welcoming.

Had a birthday party at Flying High Trampoline Park- the mens restroom was out of order and was instructed to go next door to Whetstone. Upon entry, I was instructed to fill out a waiver form... What? Seriously? I just needed to use the restroom . The gentleman who was at the front desk could have cared less. He instructed me that it was their policy for a waiver form to be filled out. Even for the restroom I asked. It was filled out and restroom was used and I will never step foot in this place again. They couldnt help a neighboring business in a time of need.

Love it. Usually not many people during the day. Very open and lots of bouldering!

Awesome facilities, staff, and routes. The boulders felt challenging for the grades and were quite inventive in their setting. They covered a myriad of styles, which made them fun without feeling stale or repetitive after 4 hours climbing. And the rope routes were much the same!Overall, a top-quality gym with a very reasonable day price!

Great gym had a small hiccup a while back due to them not accepting cash, but they gave me a couple free passes to make up for it! The lead and top roping is great the bouldering was pretty fun too all arpujd a solid gym!

Love this place! We bought a day pass and bouldered for a few hours. The place was huge, super clean, and not busy at all during the late morning. We were pleasantly surprised to find their day passes were 50% on Thursday when we went. (Not sure if that’s still the case; staff mentioned prices were changing the following week.)First time climbing in quite awhile so we were rusty for sure, but there were a good variety of routes that were challenging but still within our skill level. It’s cool that you can top out on the bouldering routes. We didn’t do any top rope climbing but they did have a few auto belays.Plenty of cubbies to stash your belongings, extra clean bathrooms and a no-climbing-shoes-in-bathroom rule (thank god lol). Their gym was also pretty nice, with a squat rack, a variety of free weights and other equipment to round out your fitness.Used to be a member at the Spot in Boulder and I must say I think I prefer Whetstone. Not in the budget right now to be a full-on member since we’re already members at a different (non-climbing) gym, but we will definitely be dropping in often!

I always have a blast here and the employees are always so kind. This place always has a killer vibe.. LGBTQ+ friendly

This is an awesome place to go climbing. The walls support a range of abilities and the staff are all very friendly. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Great staff, good size. The routes were entertaining, but graded a soft. The overhung lead area is really overhung. I miss my last gym that had an actual roof, but this was pretty close. Kudos for having auto-belays. Its not every day I have a partner. The gym was surprisingly empty right now. You could get reservations the same day.

I joined as a founding member and stayed with Whetstone for the entirety of my time in Fort Collins. Im a huge fan of the top-out bouldering, the clean environment, the overhanging lead-only wall, the double-padded floors, quality of setting, and the well-maintained gym and yoga areas! There is a cute area designated for childrens climbing (complete with animal and letter-shaped holds), and a nice bar with a good beer and cider selection. The staff is always friendly, accommodating, and well-trained. I can attest to their customer service, business practices, and financial integrity; they have clear policies and never try to screw their customers over or leave them unprotected. Both in terms of the quality of climbing, amenities, and business practices, this is one of the best gyms Ive ever climbed at! Their fast success as soon as opening speaks to that. It is a local business that is easy to love to support. Id highly recommend to anyone, beginner or expert!

Best climbing gym in Fort Collins! Excellent setting and great atmosphere.

Probably the best climbing gym in NOCO!!! This place is huge and really awesome. I am still new to climbing and It was my first time into the gym but I absolutely loved it will definitely be coming back. Wish the membership was just a little cheaper because I would definitely come in and climb 2/3times a week rather than 1/2times a month. Overall I would definitely check this place out if you are looking for a really nice climbing gym!

I write a lot of reviews and this one I have to say is one of my most enjoyable experiences. First time climbing and it changed my prospective all together. The staff and energy in the building was very peaceful and balanced. Even though I was alone it didnt feel lonely. Will definitely return.

Brought a new friend to Whetstone today and we were so excited to introduce him to this climbing gym. However, the belay checker this evening is neither encouraging or friendly. She came off bossy and condescending. Thats not at all good for Whetstones business. Because of her, my friend became quite discouraged and all of our excitement went out the window. Well be taking our friend back to Ascent from here on. Their gym is just as good if not better, and their service is more compassionate to the novice. Whetstone might want to re-train their belay check staff on customer service. We were all new to this sport at one point. A little kindness goes a long way.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. There is something for everyone. You can boulder, top rope, or lead. There is lots of space so you can socially distance too.

Emma and the young man that helped were both very skilled, kind and helpful...oh and strong enough for the adults in our group to feel safe!

Great Climbing and atmosphere. A lot of routes and boulder problems.

We recently decided to give learning to climb a go and searched for some intro classes - we stumbled upon the Whetstone intro to climbing class and decided to sign up and get a membership. It hasn’t been long but we definitely don’t regret not trying it out first, everyone has been quite friendly.However, the reason I decided to write this review is because Harrison who taught our intro class, and Steph that checked us off to belay really impressed us; and went above and beyond. Harrison with additional information and effort despite having received his covid vaccine that day; and Steph taking additional time and really going out of her way to teach us a variety of things - when she didn’t have to - even showing us how to properly use different gear. These two make great teachers.

Friendly staff! Great route setting! Geared towards advancing the climbing community! I’m looking to my next visit—thank you!

Amazing staff and amazing climbing for beginners and vets alike.

This facility is top notch, but it has some room to grow. Massively large, so large its easy to spend hours here and never repeat a climb. A sizable weight training room, yoga studio, in house physical therapist, bar; the bivy, and a gear shop. Three different training boards, along with a full campus board with wood rungs. All climbs are either top rope or can be climbed on lead, no auto belays which is something I think they could add in the future. Two very large boulders with hundreds of problems, at times it seems like the difficulty of climbs will leans to the harder side. There are easy to moderate climbs but a large percentage reside on the top end of the scale. Resets are nice because you can only repeat the same climbs so many times before they become boring. If youre passing through and have a day to climb inside check this place out.

Huge gym with a bar,. Top rope, kids climbing area, Lead climbing and bouldering!! Great place for the whole family. Only got one photo but this picture doesnt even show half of the place.

Best climbing gym I have been to

This is a great climbing gym with opportunities to boulder, belay climb, auto-belay climb and more.

Everything I want in a gym, and more. Good rope climbing and bouldering, frequent route resetting, good routes. Good covid policies.

Just joined but so far so good! Staff is friendly and helpful. Facility is beautiful. Lots of routes so no wait times even when the gym was busy on Sunday afternoon. Cant wait for my son to start Club and begin building his climbing crew. Thanks for the free belaying class for parents and day pass. Hubby and I had fun climbing some beginner routes. Havent been on a wall in years. Well do it again!

Wow, very impressive facility. They have a huge amount of wall space for bouldering and sport routes. Very high potential to be the best climbing gym in town.

The New New!!! The Beez Kneez, Atom 9!!! I love this place, my first time was so welcoming and everyone has a smile on there face! Get a good hard climb on one of hundreds of routes and boulder problems. It’s hard to feel cramped in here! It’s super spacious and open! You will not have trouble at all getting anything you want done! Awesome little shop, members get discounts! Also finish your day off with a cold beer at the Bivy bar! This place has a lot to offer and I’m considering making a swap!

All the staff were super nice and chill. Really welcoming environment, especially for newcomers. 10/10 highly recommended

My daughter got the climbing bug when she was in junior high, and I was the lucky parent who could take her. That was a few years ago and in a different home city. One of the unexpected but totally awesome surprises for me was how welcoming and kind the climbing community can be. I am so grateful to have found the same thing here in Fort Collins at Whetstone.As I get older, I have come to realize more and more how important it is for us to have true play time with ourselves and with our loved ones. Whetstone offers a safe, welcoming environment to play and challenge yourself at your own pace. What I really love about climbing is that a beginner can have a totally exhilarating experience the first time! And you don’t have to be in great physical shape to start (though you maybe motivated to get stronger so you can conquer that boulder route that is haunting you in your dreams!). And there is plenty of room to grow and explore your capabilities.There are ample climbing routes with lots of lead rope. The boulder area is big. People of all shapes and sizes and skills. Family and kid friendly. Free coffee. Haven’t tried the yoga yet, but definitely will. Staff is super cool and helpful.

First time visiting this place and i cant say that it was one of my favorites. The staff was super rude that i encounter, they really didnt explain anything to me. They charge for every little thing, so make sure you bring everything you need,so you wont have a big bill at the end.

This place is amazing. I’ve truly found a place that gives me peace, purpose and focus all in one. I leave feeling refreshed and energized. The staff is considerate, helpful and friendly. The routes are challenging but doable and there is something for everyone from bouldering to lead climb! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a new hobby!

Joined as a member and absolutely love the facility. HUGE space with lots of routes that constantly change. Will be climbing here daily

Awesome gym and excellent addition to the climbing community! Staff is super friendly, the place is spotless, and they are taking the necessary precautions for customers to be safe around covid. The place is huge and there is a lot of variety of climbing! Ive been to many gyms around the country and this is on par with the best.They have also supported youth climbing through my works Experiential Education program at The Matthews House, a local nonprofit. We are incredibly grateful for their staff facilitating climbing to the youth we serve! Thanks Whestone Climbing!!

Awesome facility. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. 5 stars all the way.

The staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. The girls had a wonderful time and didnt want to stop climbing. The staff related what they did back to their soccer team and it was an incredibly positive, very easy event! Will definitely be back!

Dishonest. I signed up pre covid quarentine for a yearly membership. I called and talked to the owner. I wanted a refund for the unused portion of my membership because I have no desire to expose myself to an environment which is going to be impossible to keep clean and no desire to climb in a mask. I was only asking for money back for the time not used yet. If you are not willing to do that you are dishonest.

Best climbing gym in the area. Friendly staff, great route setting and a great environment. Couldnt speak more highly of whetstone

A friend was in town visiting for some climbing in Estes Park when rain changed our plans. We decided to hit up whetstone, and it was awesome! Andrew and the other staff were friendly, helpful and without ego. The routes were varied and interesting. The new facility is clean with a great vibe. We both remarked that even though our plans changed, we had so much fun that we didnt regret the rain. Stellar experience!

This is my favorite climbing gym. Routes are kept long enough that a person who can only come once a week can have more than one try at it, but also changed often enough there is always something new to try.The layout of the climbing and bouldering areas can accommodate a lot people so even if it looks packed, you are still able to find routes in or just above your ability to try. Staff are friendly, and welcoming. Climbers are nice and most are helpful with suggestions if you are stuck on a problem.

We brought a group of students to Whetstone for an field trip and experiential learning day. The facility is fabulous; clean, bright and inviting. It feels good to be there! Our instructors, Daniell, Dani, Logan and Kat were phenomenal -- knowledgeable and patient. I cannot compliment Whetstone enough, and Tilde especially, in how they worked with our school and our group to accommodate our unique needs and to be sure our new climbers had a positive experience. All fourteen students had a great day and want to come back to continue their growth and learning at Whetstone!

Let me tell you, the folks at Whetstone Climbing are the full package! Funny! Whitty! They can dance! They can sing! One of them even juggles!! I dont know if any of that is actually true, but Ill be darned if my not going to keep telling people about it.The routes are fun. The staff is super great (even if they cant juggle...). Theres a bar for people who dont feel like climbing. What more do you want? What?!Theres nothing more you could want! Im glad I went the first time. Im glad I got a membership. And Im excited to go again today! And tomorrow.. and the next day!

Ive been coming here pretty consistently for about a year now and I absolutely love every aspect of this place! The staff, owner, and community is the best Ive seen by far in terms of friendliness, support, and overall workmanship. You guys are amazing and I very much appreciate all the humbling time Ive spent here.

Very fun for you or the whole family. The facility is kept very clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

This rock climbing gym is amazing! The routes are thoughtful, some technical, some balance heavy, all of the ones I tried very fun. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with people who are very kind and sincerely happy to see you, who clearly love their job. It was not overcrowded, and not overrun by kids like the other gym in the area. I like that they have washing stations outside of the bathroom so you can wash the chalk off your hands before you leave. The bouldering area is unbelievably huge. Great retail space, And cardio/weightlifting area separate from the climbing space but still visible with glass walls. There’s a really cool coffee/beer bar if you need refreshments in between climbs. I am so excited for this place to be here and for Fort Collins to have more climbing options. I’m excited to see what all they do since they just opened. Thanks for a great experience! I will definitely be joining

Awesome gym with a welcoming environment! The layout is great and the gym has tons of space. They have something for everyone here on every part of the wall. The routes are set well to accommodate different skill levels even on steeper sections of the walls and boulders.Staff is friendly and helpful. The bivy is a cool little beer bar to grab a drink after a long climb and they have free coffee in the mornings. That along with seating/tables spread throughout the gym gives off a relaxed vibe.Theres a nice yoga studio and a small-medium sized workout area to mix it up on off days. Ive tried both out - the yoga studio has all the equipment/props you need right there. The gym is simple and gets the job done but itd be nice to see it fill in with some more equipment/machines. The gym is still very new so Im sure more additions will be coming in the future. Check it out!

This is a fantastic local gym with lots of potential for community. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, with just enough humor to feel like you are home around friends. For a gym, the environment does not come off pretentious or exclusive. Great spot for beginner & old sand bagged climbers alike! The variety & sheer number of climbs is far better here than the other local gyms. I also attended a yoga class during my time here - professional and personable. I highly recommend making a trip and checking it out for yourself. If it wasn’t for the prohibitive travel time from my current residence, I’d have a membership.-Brian

I was in town for a day and checked out this gym. Awesome setting for routes in terms of consistency and movement on the routes. IMO the roped route grades were maybe a little soft in general but that did not detract from the routes at all. Bouldering grades seemed to be more spot on. Awesome lead only area! Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Had a blast!! Definitely check this place out if you are in the Fort Collins area and are looking for a gym.

Awesome gym with a great feel. I love how its so spread out so people dont ever feel like theyre belaying on top of each other, which has been a problem at other local gyms. They have a ton of awesome amenities and programs, including a physical therapist on site. The climbing routes are very creative and fun which makes climbing indoors much more enjoyable. This is definitely the best climbing gym in Northern Colorado.

Its a great place to climb! I have both of my children signed up for classes here, and the instructors are patient and kind. There are a wide range of walls available, and theyre changed up with regularity.

Clean, great systems boards and training facility; both well organized and available. Plenty of bouldering and lots of climbing; both top-roped and lead climbs are plentiful. Setting seems typical. Staff are very courteous, friendly, and accommodating. Gym has 2 auto-belays. Compares very favorably to other front range climbing gyms.

Great atmosphere and route setting!

I was so impressed with this state of the art climbing gym. The vibe is very chill and the staff is extremely friendly. There was no stone unturned in the building of this climbing gym. There is a workout area, a yoga studio, a childcare room, a retail and a great little wine and beer bar with a family style area to sit down and visit with other climbers. I sure wish I had a climbing gym like this in Castle Rock where I live. Ft. Collins you are so lucky to have this in your own backyard.

Exemplary gym. Big, roomy, spreads out crowds well, friendly staff, amazing walls and features, and killer, consistent setting for both boulder problems and routes. Tons of angles, as well, from very overhanging to vert and slab tech. Also, there are a Moon, Tension, and Kilter Board, all side by side and well maintained, with good padding. Plus a clean, very modern weight room. Cafe is a nice touch too.I love the low-key vibe, and the climbing and the amenities. Family friendly as well. Highly recommend! Well worth the drive even if you dont live in FoCo.

Expertly designed rock gym. Tons of bouldering. Lots of top rope stations and plenty of lead mixed throughout. This gym caters to all skill levels and the friendly staff make you feel welcome. Whether you want to do some serious training or its your first time pulling plastic - youll be pleased with this place. Great job guys!

Rock solid climbing

I love this new climbing gym. Great space, huge variety of routes, very mellow and family-friendly vibe. I took four kids there from ages 5-17 and we had a blast. I definitely recommend paying a few extra dollars for the guided tour so you can get comfortable. Ill be back soon for yoga and the kids climbing clubs.

Wonderful facility with people who seem to really care about setting great routes/boulders for all levels of climbers. The facility is much larger than expected and has something for everyone. Day 1, it has all the features you would expect of a world class climbing facility. Not to mention, the bar is really great for post-climb community building. Designated kids areas and kids boulders will hopefully do a lot to encourage kids to climb and having child care day one is great for parents!

One of the best gyms around. Such a friendly staff, clean facilities and so much variety for the routes!!!

Facilities were great and it wasnt too crowded during peak hours. Staff was helpful, although novice. There needs to be a more affordable way to be able to take my kids climbing. Spending $50 for a couple hours of climbing with my kids is too much (all I did was belay but was charged full price/Ascent doesnt charge for belay only).

The owners and staff at Whetstone are nothing but welcoming and friendly. My 12 year old daughter and I are climbing a few times per week. Weve been completely supported-- they helped her find an inexpensive pair of used shoes knowing that she will probably outgrow them in a month. The three month summer package is a great deal and we have a lot of fun every time we go. Thanks!

I had a personal coaching session with Ken Klein at Whetstone. Ken was amazing and really took time to understand my climbing goals and he took my limitations into account and devised an excellent training strategy for me. I would highly recommend Ken for anyone wanting to improve their climbing, no matter experience level.The Whetstone gym is also excellent with great route setting, huge number of roped climbs and boulders, full training center, and the weight/exercise room is very well equipped.Highly recommend Whetstone and Ken!

Fantastic experience at Whetstone! Superb, inclusive & instructive culture, and the space and design are just incredible. Whetstone accommodated our very large youth group for over two hours of instruction and fun! Thanks, Whetstone!

We had a blast at a Whetstone birthday party! Everyone loved climbing and the staff was great and helpful. A very clean and nice place to hang out at - well be back soon for sure!

Awesome gym - welcoming for beginners, engaging for experts. Routes are diverse and updated frequently. Classes and other amenities are great

This gym is hands down the best climbing facility in Fort Collins. The route setting is consistently good and they have something for everyone and every level of climber. Staff is so kind and welcoming. Training boards, hang boards and the exercise room are top of the line and incorporate everything you could want. The layout of the gym makes it feel less cramped as there is SO much room for people to climb. Im so excited to have a real and genuine climbing gym in Fort Collins that incorporates and support the community. Blows all competition out of the water on every front. Did I mention they serve beer and wine?!

Checked out the construction going on at Whetstone this weekend while I was waiting with my 3-year-old for Fly High Trampoline to open. Upon entering I was greeted by the owner Darrell. First off let me start by saying Darrell was a stand up guy. He was gracious enough to give my daughter and I a tour of the entire facility, as well as a run down of the companies vision. This place is going to be a first class operation that will greatly serve the Nortern Colorado climbing community. Whetstone will definitely have all the amenities, size, and space needed for a fantastic climbing gym. Including a massive climbing area, yoga studio, workout area, great locker rooms, etc.Also, what really set Whetstone apart in my mind was the extras that are included. To serve those with kiddos, there will be a daycare, a kids sized bouldering wall, and top rope section. Perfect for those with kids, or those without kids don’t have to worry about too many kids being underneath them in the other areas. AND to top it all off they will have a bar in there...can’t think of a better way to finish off a good climbing session.I hope all climbers will give this place a visit when it opens! It will definitely not disappoint.

I love this gym! The facility is large, very open, and there is lots of lighting. Whenever I’m there, I don’t feel like it’s ever too crowded, even during peak hours. The Bivy is a nice addition too! Hanging out at the bar is a great way to socialize and wrap up the climbing. The staff is very welcoming and kind! I really like climbing here, even if it’s a bit more of a drive compared to my previous gym.

Awesome gym. Theres a lot of space so you dont feel you are climbing on top of each other. The bouldering is top-notch. Might be the standout characteristic of the gym. Tons of problems, lots of variety to the boulder faces, and I appreciate being able to top out. Route setting is excellent on routes and boulders. Theres a set of kids boulders, which my youngest enjoys. Theres also a training area (e.g., campus board, tension board) off-limits to kids so different parts of the gym can cater to different needs. Overall, we love the gym. I bring my whole family and we all have a great time together even though we range in ability from beginner to V10 crazy strong (not me). The atmosphere is very nice too. Places to hang out and read a climbing magazine, eat lunch, or work on the laptop (yes I do this).

Great Boulders. Great Staff. Great Space.

Went on the kids day off from school. Great bouldering and the top rope looked really cool even thought we didnt try it. Its much bigger than it looks from outside. Top notch facility and really friendly staff. Highly recommend this place for newbies and experienced alike.

Came in for the belay class with my wife. Stephanie was the instructor and she was fantastic. Easy to learn, had a bunch of fun and got vertical. Highly recommend this 10/10.

Great indoor walls. Larger facilities with well planned out areas for all levels and types of climbing. Ratings are a little soft, but that’s good, as far as I’m concerned, for gym climbing. Still working out the bugs as to the facilities themselves, but definitely doing a hell of a good job being flexible while figuring it all out.Thanks,Josh

This climbing gym has a really cool vibe! It has a bright atmosphere, great climbing and bouldering options, weight room, yoga studio, and cafe/taproom! The staff is really friendly and took the time to make me feel super safe.They seemed to have a lot of regular clientele coming in that they would recognize and chat with. So glad we went to check it out, will definitely be back!

What a great place to climb!!! The bouldering courses are set thoughtfully and challenging but so much fun as well. If you climb on top of the boudering wall it simulates being on top of a real boulder which adds to the experience. Excellent staff and the rope courses are the best I have seen in a gym. The best part is the layout because it never feels crowded. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

As a one time visitor to whetstone, this gym was wonderful. Good location. Lots of route diversity. Love that all boulder can be a top out route. Day pass was a little pricy but worth it I though. If I lived in foco, I would probably push for a membership.I didn’t do ropes but looked like a lot of options there along with a free weight gym. Also there looks like there’s a bar in the facility which made me thirsty after sending a couple of routes.

Wanted to go explore the gyms around Fort Collins and I walked into this gem of a gym! I went in multiple times not climbing just talking to the staff about the gym and left there feeling like I had just made some great new friends! The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and they just want everyone to succeed and be safe. Ive climbed at many different gyms and outdoors but I will be going back to Whetstone in a heartbeat!

Amazing staff, great routes, amazing variety. Definitely one of the best gyms I’ve been to. Pretty stiff ratings translate well to outdoor.

The best rock gym I have ever been to. Awesome bouldering area and does a good job of fostering a positive culture. I think they charge a little too much though, thats really the only thing keeping them from a 5. Would be nice to have more than one shower too, but thats just being picky 😁

Awesome route setting and friendly staff! Bouldering section is great and they also have small boulders for kids. Theres a variety of styles and levels so whether youre climbing for the first time or a veteran, youll find something for you. Cant wait to go back! I definitely recommend checking them out

Saturday 1-5-2019 I had the pleasure of meeting Darrell and his lovely wife. Both of them gave me a tour while my kids were hanging out at fly hi with my wife. I look forward to this place opening soon I can’t say enough great things about them both. They took time out of there busy day to show me around what an amazing place. My kids are going to have so much fun.

Really nice gym. Good setting and friendly staff.

The Whetstone staff are friendly, welcoming, helpful, professional and fun. Climbing gyms can be intimidating even for folks who climb a lot. This place does a great job at developing a great culture! Also, the route setting, bingo, MyClimb app and details like the nice hand washing stations with lotion are top notch!

Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful! I’m just getting back into climbing and needed a good refresher course, and the staff was very helpful with giving concise directions for the safety check and fun ways to remember so the information stays with you. The gym is massive and is very clean, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

My son wanted to go climbing, and I reluctantly went along. But as soon as we got to Whetstone, the climbing instructor and the rest of the staff made me feel right at home, and I thoroughly enjoyed the climbing session. We will be back very soon!

Great Climbing gym. This gym has replaced my regular gym membership, as the training facility is loaded. Love the atmosphere and the ability to find something to work on, no matter how busy it is. VERY friendly staff!

This is a great gym. A relaxed feel with lots of options for routes and bouldering. Also they have a pregnancy harness! Im so glad i could still climb while pregnant.

Awsome place with great staff! We love our Whetstone family.

Whetstone is AWESOME! I became a Founding Member because I know someone on Staff. Ive never REALLY climbed, and the last time I climbed a very basic climbing wall was 17 years ago. So I just looked at the Bouldering Wall for a while, then got up the guts to get started. It was really fun, and I hope to take advantage of more aspects of the gym soon. The staff members are great, and I highly recommend this gym!!!

Really great place! It’s got lots of pitches and space for bouldering and belaying and the staff was very kind. The music in the gym was a great selection too

Great climbing gym, probably the 2nd or 3rd largest in Colorado. There is both lots of bouldering and top rope, and for me ( a beginner/intermediate) there were lots of routes that challenged me and also were just fun and easy for me to climb. There are also many challenging v5+ routes that I didn’t try. The bathrooms are very nice, with provided towels and a VERY nice hot shower. The staff is very kind and friendly and my friend and I both got a discount for national women’s day yesterday! Very nice place, probably my favorite bouldering gym so far:)

Skillful route setting; friendly, relaxed atmosphere; great space for hanging out and socializing; ALL around a beautiful, perfect place we are lucky to attend...the half-price Thursday beats the competition for folks needing an affordable day-pass option.

Had a birthday party for my 13 year old daughter and several friends. I had a Sad Panda beer, with a parent, while they did competitive events. Everyone had a good time. Im considering a summer pass.

I came to Fort Collins to visit my brother and his family from California and needed to get some climbing in, thankfully I found this new awesome gym right down the street from his place! Brand new, nice space, great variety and top rope climbing. Everyone was super friendly, we all had a great time, that was months ago. Today Im writing because I had an amazing experience over the phone with an employee named Zach. I wanted to get my brother and the fam a gift certificate to encourage them to climb more (who wouldnt want to right?!) Long story short, Zach did me a solid and Im super thankful, this review is for the badass costumer service that he provided, thanks for being awesome and going above and beyond! I will be back next time Im in town most definitely 🤙🏼.

Best in class

My kiddo enjoys this 1.5 hour training very much, especially the perfect ratio of instructor to attendants, around 1:3. He feels he learns a lot through professional and attentive instruction.

Great variety of fun and challenging routes. Friendly staff. Clean facility and welcoming atmosphere. Will be back!

Whetstone is the best climbing gym I have ever visited. I would like to think that it is a world class rock climbing training facility with all the bells and whistles. I would have given five stars if they had a designated beginner area to offer more for youngsters to try. They had 5.11 and 5.12 climbs next to 5.2s. I think having that back corner just for kids would help to keep them from running around to much. I took my 8 year old and found that there was only two climbs he could do. It would be great if there were more in the beginner level.

Very clean! Great routes with lots of options for all climbers. Little bit out of the way for me and a little expensive. If it was closer and I could use it as my fitness gym and my climbing gym it would make more sense. But as I only climb once a week it is hard to justify making the switch. I would be more likely to switch if there was a more affordable option for someone like myself who only climbs once a week. Maybe a 4 pack that is 52$ or a 24 pack that is $288.00. I know all four of the people in my group would switch at that rate.
