I just got a membership again for the first time since all the shutdown and Trisha and Becca were astonishing help. Crazy courteous and kind the entire time I was there. They were professional and respectful with everything going on and provided great conversation. A definitly calming presence while trying not to fail my routes and problems. I am ecstatic to be back at City Rock again! Best place to climb in the Springs!

Awesome indoor climbing gym. Lots of challenging and interesting routes. Also lots of bouldering walls. Auto-belay devices on most routes, and also existing ropes to manually belay too. Friendly staff. There is a bar/cafe on premises too.

Decent wall size and varying boulder difficulty make it a great way to train outside of summer season.

$15 to enter the gym, Not to climb just to enter. Covid-19 has created hard times for all of us, I hope youre covering your overhead with the price of entry.

This place is amazing! The staff was so friendly and helpful to teach and help our kids. And it’s such a large and varied facility, with all sorts of climbing and gym options!

I absolutely love this place! Everyone here is so kind and helpful, you can tell how passionate they are about what they do. I will 100% be coming back! The people at the front desk were extremely informative and getting through the belay test was painless.During COVID, it looks like they have set up many hand washing sinks throughout the gym. I noticed the staff disinfecting everything frequently, and they have set up sections to help social distance. Honestly feel less at risk here than the grocery store.You guys rock!! Keep it up!

Great bouldering, top rope climbing and sport.climbing. Super clean and organized. It is a bit expensive for a day pass ($20) and would be great if they had a lower rate for kids ($10-15).

Gorgeous gym with tons of options for all climbing levels, autobelays all over the place, a huge bouldering section, and a simulated cave system (cave only currently closed due to covid). Worth a return trip.

Seems like you only want a certain type of climber here at over $70 a month for membership. Plenty of gyms out there charging much less and still making money. Whats the deal?We do try to be competitive in our pricingAt over $70 for a membership its obvious that you are out of touch with the majority of climbers.

Just recently renewed my membership after moving back to the states, and I can say this is my favorite climbing gym in the world. The covid measures are comforting, the routes are always fun and challenging, and the staff are inviting and friendly.

Son had a great time climbing here. The staff showed him how to use everything and then he had free reign to try all the different walls. There were a good amount of people there, but everyone was friendly.

CV 19 strictly enforced! If you go, be prepared to wear a mask at all times unless you’re climbing. Staff members walk around the facility and constantly remind customers to properly wear the mask. Not a good thing or a bad thing, just mask up from the time you enter until the time you leave.

Front desk staff was incredibly rude. Treated us customers from out of town like we were entirely incompetent. They treated us like we never have been climbing before even when we asked to top rope test out. The two female front desk workers gave us dirty looks while we got out our gear, those two definitely made the experience at CityRock a negative one. The climbs are alright, they were route setting half the tall wall area, so it was crowded with individuals hogging the only available climbing areas. When I asked about a student discount, one of the women insisted they were not offering any discounts at this time. As someone who loves rock climbing, it was a waste of $20.

Review №22

Really great climbing gym. It was very well organized and nice to visit when we were in town. The day pass was a little pricey, but they had a large bouldering area and it looked like an even larger top rope area. Its also connected to a brewery, which is incredible.

Review №23

My children have been climbing here for 20 years or so. Great owners who support the community. They have quite a bit of terrain and training even a cafe! They also keep striving to improve their facility. They have come a long way since the back of an ice rink.

Review №24

If you enjoy dodging flailing children while trying to actively belay your partner, then this may be the gym for you. I would not recommend lead climbing here unless you are in a lead climb designated area. It is the most chaotic gym Ive ever been in. There are wayyyyy too many auto belays, which leads to children and other less experienced climbers literally falling or swinging into you while on a separate route. I think this is because too many routes are crammed into too small a space. It also doesnt seem like swing potential was factored in at all on some routes. Then there are a TON of uneven surfaces to trip over - please mark those with yellow or neon tape. My partner tripped at least three times on uneven mat connections. The ropes also have an insane amount of stretch to them so 1. Be prepared to lose some ground on your route if you take a fall (like 5 feet of progress lost) and 2. As a belayer, it might feel more like your climber taking a lead fall than a top rope fall, so be prepared to bounce upward off the ground a bit. Overall it was just a really stressful gym experience.

Very cool... there where different walls for different skill levels; from kids all the way to the guy I saw hanging upside down on a piece of horizontal cliff.It wasnt too expensive even with the harness rentals.The staff was helpful with any questions and we even left for lunch (the diner inside was closed) and came back no problem.

Visited Colorado and got a pass here for a month. Well worth it! The gym can get very busy after work so be prepared to wait a little between climbs. Route setting is very creative, especially on the bouldering wall. They have top roping, lead climbing and a speed climb wall as well. Would recommend! The bar is attached and has a nice vibe.

Review №36

You have to use paid street parking and the bouldering setting/area isnt my favorite. The sport setting is pretty solid. The customer service is great though - there was a misunderstanding with my billing and the manager addressed it immediately and was very polite and professional.

Really good climbing gym but stuff is always shut down for either construction or some event. make sure and check the website for any shut downs as its pretty consistent. they are the only game in town and its a really nice gym but they dont have too much motivation to cater to anyone because of the lack of competition. gym is 100 percent top notch.

I went to city rock because a friend took me there at first you need to register and watch a security video, and after a couple months im still going idk how to explain it but climbing its really fun, city rock crew its friendly and the place its awesome for doing rope climbing or bouldering, they change courses each week so its always gonna be something new really recommend this place for anyone who wants to climb inside in Colorado Springs, not to mention all the events they have, again love this place

Went here when my other climbing gym didnt open until 11. Decided to try it and am very happy that I did. Walked in and was immediately greeted and given a tour by Victoria. All of the staff are terrific. Plenty of climbing options for all levels and they are always upgrading and updating. Fitness and yoga options and probably my favorite part... Ute & Yeti opens after I climb or train!!! Highly recommended.

Review №56

Paid a lot for an annual membership. However over the last year the gym has been unexpectedly closed or hours changed... like today. No warning. And when it’s open, it’s often crowded because of endless construction. Real frustrating to show up at 9am on a rare day off with friends to a locked door or sign that says “sorry, closed till 5pm”. Yet no discount or warning at sign-up for the planned year of construction.//Thanks for the reply Heather- when we checked Google on that day, it said it was open. Later, when we checked, it said it was closed. Neither of us saw any heads-up. Were all happy to hear the upgraded yoga studio is finally open. Any chance you all will offer discounted memberships for loyal customers that dealt with a tiny/under-construction yoga room and crowded/closed climbing gym for the last 6mo?

Review №58

Terrible atmosphere....... Great routes. Employees have the best job, but seem miserable! Very judgmental and sneering. No one that works there ever looks happy. The staff is rude in general to talk to as well. Especially the Asian gentleman. Route setters are fantastic however. Been a member for over a year now, but I am ready for a place that cares about its vibe to open up and make climbing fun for all, rather than acting as if it looks down on its own paying customers. Every star I gave was because of setters...... Will bail when Gripstone opens for sure...

A great gym to have in the downtown area. I’m fairly new to climbing, but have really enjoyed CityRock in the couple weeks I’ve been a member. There is tons of space to climb and Its usually not too crowded. Also, having the yoga studio and weight room in house sets it apart for me.

So much fun for kids and adults. It was easy climbing up but I was scared at the top. The worker helped me repel down. Wore the littles out they didnt want to leave they were having so much fun we had to bribe them, lol they fell asleep on the ride home. We will go back again fun to take children for playdates but so well constructed Im sure you could become proficient rock climbers in no time!

Great local climbing gym with lots to do for the whole family. These guys are always changing up their routes so you never get bored, a great gym for weight lifting and a kids area that my little ones love. Staff is super helpful and very into the sport. Doesnt hurt that the Ute and the Yeti is connected. Great menu and food with a wide selection of brews.

Review №76

Well, it has enough walls, challenges, and ropes. But the staff is rude and abbrasive sometimes. I brought a superior from work who has climbing experience and the staff threatened to fail him on the belay test for doing a tiny joke answwring a question. Second time i brought in two friends who had previous climbing experience and gave them a refresher, at the time to test out they tried to tell me to go home and come back the next day to test AFTER I paid for a day pass. So basically if youre green to rock climbing dont go there because if you learn anything, they will tell you to go home and come back the next day. Thats basically giving them your money for the privilege of using their ropes to learn a skill you could learn at home. Personally I enjoyed Springs Climbing Center more where they are priced better and have better customer service. This place is basically a glorified climbing gym for being downtown and having high walls and a microbrewery.

We climb here close to 5x a week. The routes are always changing, and we love the recent addition of a weight room upstairs with cardio equipment.

We have been to CityRock a couple of times and we really like it. Both times have been on a Saturday so it has crowded. I like the fact that they have different options; bouldering, auto-belaying, & belaying. The routes are well marked and for different levels. I would love to go when its not so crowded.

CityRock is a family friendly gym with an outstanding selection of routes. The staff is fantastic and willing to help out both experts and newcomers alike. They have a great kids climbing program as well. The icing on the cake is the in-house brewpub with circa 100 beers (try the Cuban sliders)!

CityRock is the best place to climb when you cant climb outdoors. The staff is friendly and helpful everytime. The routes are updated constantly and the new expansions are great. The Boulder wall is completely updated with so much more to explore. We cant wait for the construction to be over! My only request is more yoga and a better variety of classes.
