To simply put it, Climb Tacoma is a BIG little gym. Its variability is good enough to suit anyone from the beginners to some of the more elite boulder savy people. They do the best that they can in creating new routes on a consistent basis (I believe its almost a new wall every week). They might have a small staff at the moment, but theyre out putting phenomenal work. If you spend enough time here, its easy to get welcomed into their little community.They also have a little decent gym and a phenomenal area for kids to learn.*If you decide to climb here, make sure you remove all of the valuables from your vehicle due to the occasional uncouth foot traffic*

Great gym as we were passing through! Didnt seem to be AC so might get a little toasty in the summer. Fantastic set of problems.

Pros:-best routesetting and variability in the terrain. One of the best for new climbers.-laid back environment, very very friendly community. The staff are amazing-can bring dogs, only if theyre well behaved. They even have a little water bowl for them :)-seriously, again, the community will go out of their way to help you with anything that you might be stuck on. Everyone is so helpful and informative. Best vibes-Very affordable, and doesnt have a predatory / convoluted membership system like Edgeworks does.-pads are really good, falling is a non issueCons:-parking isnt great. Theres usually always room to park for free, but its a pretty weird terrain.-area of Tacoma unfortunately has a lot of homeless, so dont leave valuables in your car.-cannot buy shoes here. Location isnt big enough to stock them.-bouldering only, no extended climbing, like lead or top rope.At the end of the day, the cons arent enough for me to downgrade to a 4 star. Also, I cant stress enough how good the routes are! As a beginner, you may not realize how good the routes are, but trust me-- you can go from a pure beginner and train up through the grades with plenty of variety. They change one wall, once a week, so youll have 6 weeks to work on something before they change it. Its a perfect amount of time.I had trouble with Edgeworks-- the terrain didnt feel as varied to me, the cost was higher, and the routes werent as compelling. Climbing gyms should mainly be about the climbing, and Climb Tacoma definitely takes the cake.

I went here on my birthday and had an awesome time, the only bad thing is they dont have any harness if I brought my granddaughter. Other then that I will return again it was amazing and the staff was great and helpful.

Great gym for climbing, not as big as some of the other climbing gyms around but is a great spot to get a climb in

Dude, this gym is amazing. Honestly, the best climbing gym in Washington State. Their routesetting is A1 and the variety in the angles and heights of their climbing walls is what every gym should aim to achieve. Never have once had a bad experience here. Small gym but it packs a major major major punch.

Awesome facility. Super juggy beginner/ warm up area, with a huge variety of technical and underhung/roof routes in the two main rooms. Staff was very friendly and knowledge. Pumped out inside the 90 minute session no problem. No trouble climbing as a non- member. Highly recommend.

Great gym, nice and welcoming community. I look forward to frequenting here!

Great gym with really friendly people. I love the vibe of the gym too.

This climbing gym has an amazing staff that are super friendly. Everyone here is very knowledgeable about climbing and willing to help newcomers. There are always weekly fresh routes, so the climbing never gets old. The setters set a variety of problems as well, so you can train a variety of climbing skills. Currently the staff is super COVID conscious and does a good job of keeping everyone safe by wiping down/keeping masks in place.Tl;dr Great people, great climbing.

Im a member so I might be biased but I love coming here to climb. Frequently changing walls, friendly staff, and the occasional pooch make for a great gym.

This place is awesome. Everyone is super nice. There are lots of different routes and every week they change a section of the walls.

Great staff. Lots of routes to choose from. Plus a fitness center in back (No, its not some fancy gym with saunas and a Jacuzzi. Its a climbers fitness center. Think Micks Gym from Rocky lol. But it has everything you need to help improve your climbing skills and get a good workout in). They also change up the routes regularly so there is always a new challenge. And again, Great staff.

Wonderful place for kids, call to book a tour!

Amazing facility and staff, I felt very safe there with the covid protocols they have in place. I will definitely be back there as often as possible.

Nice people could be fun the area where they are located is too sketchy.

Good routes and good atmosphere

Photos make this gym look 5x larger than it actually is. It kind of smells and its very dirty. The routes get reset often which is good to keep you on your toes. It does seem they have a nice community of climbers there. It was all smiles while we climbed. My fiance said this its like your friend turned his garage into a climbing gym, but in the best way

The facility is clean, the staff are friendly, the routes are enjoyable and are frequently being changed.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Came here as newbies and kept coming back for more. Doesnt have the pretentious feel like some of the gyms up in Seattle.

This place was my first experience with a bouldering gym. Since then, Ive tried out a number of others, but I kept going back to Climb Tacoma. Affordable, the staff is friendly, and the climbing is excellent! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Climb Tacoma always has excellent routes too and they do a good job setting new ones regularly.

I love climbing and working out here. The staff and environment is very friendly and I always have a good time. The membership is well worth it.

Small gym, with odd holds. That said, the membership is worth its price and it has other amenities. The young man who runs it is very nice! To top it off, its rarely crowded. Great place to hone your bouldering skill and basic strength

Indoor fun with an amazing group of loving people. The owner is a definite positive staple in our community. Thank you Brian, you and your staff are what the world needs more of!

We came here for a kids birthday party. The price was very reasonable. We had a private room for our gifts and cake. The instructor was nice and had a close eye on the kids safety. I guess for the normal clientele there would be enough parking, we had some people have trouble finding parking spots. Besides the parking issues, this place was really cool. The kids had a blast, the staff was cool, and the place was reasonably price.

Great place to boulder. I love the challenge of the routes...But I scared of heights. This place has plenty of space to challenge yourself without getting too high off the ground. Staff was super cool with my kids and it didnt bankrupt me for a day pass for all of us....The competition in town is cool, but way too expensive for my abilities.

I LOVE Climb Tacoma! The staff is friendly and encouraging and they offer a variety of routes of varying difficulties for all people; whether new or experienced. They always change one wall every week so the experience will never be quite the same each time. 5 stars!

Tiny gym with a lot of heart! This is a bouldering gym and def on the classic grunge side of the spectrum. Dont expect much in terms of amenities but they do a good job of setting a lot of problems in their smaller space and you can expect a good diversity there. Staff are friendly and good people and there is a small training area if you just care to hang.

Great environment for the whole family- plenty of space

Excellent climbing gym! Friendly staff, clever route setting and great environment. Gets a little hot though, so come early or later in the day during the summer time

Great place. Great staff. Awesome that they change up the routes regularly.

Chill friendly staff and atmosphere. Good prices too. I had a great time.

Great bouldering gym. The gym is in touch with its community and gives back often. Climb Tacoma is my sanctuary.

Small gym but packed with many intense routes

Everyone is always so chill and friendly here. People who just wanna hang out and work out and climb some walls.

Great gym with pretty awesome staff and the best prices.

Staff - they smile, they nice, comfortable placeFriendly peoples

The coaches are first rate. They are patient with kids with various temperaments. The coaching is fun and engaging.

Havent been in yet but just a glance through the window tells me this place has a great layout with LOTS of routes established. Looks like a good time.

Great fun. Fairly Easy to very challenging. I look forward to going again every week.

Great place to climb and fantastic community!

Its a great, local spot to get a workout without having to drive to Exit 38 on I-90. The first Friday of each month is only $5 so go give it a try!

Great little gym with a ton of great sets.

The realest climbing gym I know. This is the place. Great staff and awesome customer service.

So fun!! Lots of routes, they change them every few weeks I think so theres always something new to try.

Super fun. Great to hangout with friends

This place was my first experience with a bouldering gym. Since then, Ive tried out a number of others, but I keep going back to Climb Tacoma. Affordable, the staff is friendly, and the climbing is excellent!

Spectacular gem for Tacoma.Ethan 5Alexander 7 (Autism)Mikey 8/1/2The staff are EXTRAORDINARY, our new daily Daddy Time event.

This place is awesome cant wait to go again

Climbing Tacoma isnt the largest gym around, however its location and community make it a great gym for training and hanging out.

Excellent gym with weekly route changes. The staff is friendly and helpful and the climbing community is lots of fun!

Super fun place and friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

Very chill staff. Great open bouldering space. Excellent challenging routes

Great route setting and even better staff youll find at this local gym. Im not sure what another reviewer was referring to as monthly memberships and day passes are cheaper than other gyms in the area.

The best people and new routes every week!

Great local gym with friendly, engaging staff!

Is it a gym? Is it a family? Why not both!?

Great employees, great community, great prices. Been coming here for years and plan to keep coming for many more.

This is a terrible gym. Monthly membership is as expensive as Seattle bouldering project and Seattle bouldering project is AT LEAST 10x bigger. The routes are unenjoyable and not fun. The location is in the hood, and my back pack was stolen in a cubby that is right by the main desk! I used a guest pass on my brother in the beginning of December and went back at the end on January and since he had already been they made him pay $20...making guest passes pretty much pointless. 75% of the gym was close due to setting and they didnt tell him until after he paid and didnt allow a refund. Also, You have to cancel your membership 30 days in advance so I was forced to pay another $60 to a place I didnt want to go to anymore. I highly DONT recommend.

Great staff and facilities

Incredible community and awesome climbing!

Best indoor rock climbing routes!!!
