This is a really great gym for bouldering and some power top rope climbing. They also have a decent amount of lead climbing routes. Place is quite good for anyone who wants to learn how to climb or experience clamorous who want to improve their skills. I find that the bold ring routes in this gym are probably the best ones of all the Hangar 18s Ive been to. Chill vibe.

It was a great time! We booked the 2 hour non member session and it was a perfect amount of time. It was clean, spacious, and airy. Remember to fill out the waivers and look at the orientation video before you go or it will cut into your two hour time. We will definitely be back.

Number 1 climbing gym in the I.E. climbing routes change periodically. Bouldering wall, sport routes plus top ropes and auto belay are all very good.

1st time climbing here and it was freakin rad! Plenty of options for bouldering/belay/auto-belay.RUBY was in charge of the music and they were all bangers! It added so much fun and set a great mood. I’ll mos def be back. If you’re reading this you are the resistance.

Although this place is getting old it is very clean. Needs a face-lift or maybe even a kilterboard. Their sets are great though.

This place is pretty great. I ended up buying the yearly membership. Wasnt expecting to get into rock climbing as much as I am, but Hanger 18 has me hooked. The atmosphere here is super nice. They play all different kinds of music, which I love. On the nice days, they open up the hanger door and it lets in a lot of natural light and fresh air. The staff is always friendly and eager to help out. They have a variety of gear on hand that you can rent or buy. You can even get some stuff ordered for you. Most of the people who go regularly are super friendly and offer up advise. Plenty of people have helped me out there. Great place to train, get in shape, and stay active.

I really like this gym. It’s bigger than the other Hanger by UCR, and it has a lot more wall climbing. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. And it seems like there is at least one new route somewhere in the gym each week. You can’t beat the value of having several rock gyms, workout gyms, and Yoga anywhere else.

Review №16

Very fun rock climbing gym with lots of climbing options for all difficulties. There are some auto belay which is really fun and safe for your kids. The only downside is it can get pretty hot when your climbing. Theres a few fans but when your not in front of the fans its pretty hot.

This is a good gym for those who already know what theyre doing, but terrible for beginners. Other gym Ive been to, the instructors are there to help you whenever and will give you instructions on how to belay. However, the instructors will only teach you if you pay $10. You either get a belay lesson or bouldering lesson for the $10. The boulder lasted all of 2 mins, so not sure what we were paying for. Shouldnt giving general instructions be part of the employees job??

Review №18

Gym itself is nice. 4 auto belays, awesome boldering area with some nice long routes. 2 stars because the staff will not give you a belay lesson if they can avoid it, regardless of if they are busy or not. Which has made it difficult for my friends to join in on the fun on 3 separate occasions.

Great rock climbing gym. There are a variety of walls for different experiences and levels. Theres a few auto bolet thats perfect if you go alone. The staffs are friendly and helpful. An overall clean place.

This place is an absolute blast to go to. My buddy and I went on MLK Day and we loved it so much that we immediately upgraded to monthly memberships. Now we go at least once a week. They also change up the wall paths fairly regularly, which keeps things fresh and interesting!

The routes are great. Good prices (although they do nickel-and-dime you a little bit). The facility is great and they even have a full weight gym upstairs. No air con.

Review №22

Good top rope routes. rated a little soft, but there is plenty of variety and plenty of easier routes for beginners. Using the groupon made it super cheap for a month pass, but their regular prices arent outrageous like other places. Much better than the Long Beach Location.

This is the best hangar 18 in all of Southern California. Its definitely the biggest hangar 18 Ive been to, plenty of routes of all levels for every type of climbing.

Val’s yoga class on Tuesday nights alone makes the membership worthwhile. But there’s also a great mix of bouldering, top rope and lead

Review №25

Good fitness classes/ facility round out the most comprehensive climbing gym of the chain. Theres enough floor space to handle evening crowds and the upstairs Hangar 18 Fitness facility has some awesome classes if you splurge for the added membership. Setting is what I expect of all Hangar 18 locations in the Inland Empire.

My Review is in response to the lie that was posted as a review by Jeff Waller. I was there. Jeffs son was running around the gym, unattended, and was running under people who were bouldering and could have gotten hurt if it wasnt for Adrians vigilance for safety. He was very polite and explained to the child that what he was doing was dangerous. He even explained, in length to Jeff why he had stopped his son and told him not to run around the gym, particularly under climbers. I know Adrian well and have observed the way he treats people. He is a professional. What was described in Jeffs review is complete fabrication by a Daddy who is too week to acknowledge that his child was behaving inappropriately and tries to make himself feel better by slandering someone doing their job...and he really ought to be thanking him for keeping his child safe. I have also known Jeff Waller for a long time and this doesnt surprise me. Jeff, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Im ashamed for you.

It is an okay experience coming here. Definitely not worth it if they are busy...I dont know about you but I would rather stay home than have to rub up against others when going out. Not great for kids, only a very few spots they can manage and you may be waiting long minutes with a bored child for a turn.

Review №28

It doesnt pretend to be anything that its not. Theres top roping, sport, and bouldering to keep you occupied. Theres a weight room, and they have strength training classes as well as yoga classes there on certain days. The staff is friendly and the regulars are cool. All of this for under $40.

The gym is well set and managed by Dave Hamilton. Dave is a true asset to this business. You really cant go wrong with their membership deals because there are 5 gyms for one price. This makes it very convenient to climb anywhere in the LA basin I do wish they stayed open a little longer on the weekends. All in all a good gym.

Review №35

Great selection of bouldering and toproping routes. The route setting is a little on the easier end so prepare to have your self confidence inflated when youre sending 5.11s when you usually only do 5.9s.

Review №36

This gym is perfect. They have auto-belay and classes for beginners. They have variety and you can also do their bouldering. If you dont have shoes, they can loan you some and if you dont have a membership, you can get a one day pass. Some days they allow two people for the price of one.

Review №37

This is my favorite top rope location hands down of all hangar 18s. Best inverted walls for building strength with the best range of 5.10s for the right amount of a challenge.

Pretty nice, I sprained my ankle there because of the mats and they replaced them like a week later, so not too bad in terms of customer service I guess

Review №53

Decently nice gym. Grades seem consistent with what Id expect. As an out-of-towner, theres only four autobelays which cover 3~4 routes each. Decent variety but the hardest was only 5.10d. Itd be nice if they had a couple 11s on autobelay but thats fine. Routes were interesting and required more thought than just a mindless jughaul. Bouldering area seemed great but thats just not really my thing. Downside is that the gym seems a little smaller than what Im used to and its a little older than some others.
