Best Climbing Gym near Denver, Colorado

I would give this place 1000 stars!! We wanted to climb on our road trip, and this gym was a delightful treat! Great boulders, fun top rope, something for everyone. Gleaming locker rooms, and friendly friendly staff! I kind of want to travel more just to come back and say hi. One of our climbers had a breakthrough on the wall, learned some new stuff, and they genuinely cared and were enthusiastic. LOVE THIS GYM!!

I love it here. Such great value for the membership. Movement is a truly wonderful name for this place that helps me move my body and mind in so many ways. Yes, it gets crowded, but it makes me so happy to see so much community.

I'm new to climbing and just joined Movement last month, really for the bouldering in RINO, but have quickly found top rope climbing to be way more fun! The route setting is great, changes often, and I continually hear it's the best of all the big gyms in Denver. I 100% agree with other reviewers that the arena style seating makes it so much fun to watch others climb and the vibe is really friendly and inclusive. Plus, the staff is great - helpful with testing, questions, etc.

Very nice facility. But I have to shoutout David Medina. His expertise and professionalism are next to none. He demonstrates a passion for the climbing community that is often lost and overlooked. I think critics of his demeanor are misinterpreted. Most accidents that occur in a climbing gym could easily be prevented if dangerous habits are addressed. No one likes being told that what they're doing is potentially risky and it is a difficult conversation to have. Climbing has grown exponentially in the last 20 years and with that comes change in techniques and equipment. We have to trust our climbing professionals to help us keep up the best standard possible so that we can continue to climb as risk-free as possible.

I’ve had such a love-hate relationship with this gym over the years. Yes, this place is a major scene and can be incredibly obnoxious at times. The bathrooms definitely need work and this isn’t the cleanest gym, but regardless, it’s truly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The setting is consistently phenomenal and they always have harder climbs with varying styles. It’s extremely hard to find a gym with multiple options for the 5.13 range, and they always have challenging routes that are accessible for shorter (5’1) climbers. This is the gym where I first fell in love with climbing nearly a decade ago and whenever I’m in Colorado it’s always a positive experience when I go back.

This is a delayed review (I came in early last month) but wanted to give a shout out to Jessie who was so friendly and welcoming. Honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had coming to a climbing gym and definitely was a highlight on my first visit to Denver. I can see why my friend goes here all the time! And if I lived there I would too. Great vibes. Love it being dog friendly. Keep up the great work 🤙

This place is great for all ages and all skill levels. If you want a fun, challenging, and judgement free workout, this is the place for you. It tests your mind and body as get your further and further. Everyone here is so nice and supportive. I went climbing later in the night and there were only a few people so I had my pick of climbs

Equipment is pretty limited - no spray wall, dumbbells only go up to about 50lbs, hangboard area sucks. They also claimed they didn't get my email to cancel and refused to refund me a couple months' worth of dues. I never swiped in after trying to cancel and had even bought day passes after cancelling. Terrible business practice.

As a beginner climber, I had an awesome experience at Denver Bouldering Club. The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive, perfect for someone just starting out. The routes were super fun and just the right level of challenging, which kept me engaged and motivated throughout my session. The staff were helpful and provided great tips on technique, which really helped me improve. Overall, it was a fantastic introduction to bouldering, and I can't wait to go back and continue my climbing journey there!

The day my membership renewed I told them that I could no longer afford it. They told me they didn’t care and they wouldn’t be refunding me for the month. Edit: The Denver Bouldering Club fails to mention that they did not update my contract when the conditions were changed. When we agreed upon the changed conditions a new contract should’ve been sent to me, as all communication outside of the contract does not constitute a change. When mistakes are made on Denver Boulder Clubs part, they refuse to acknowledge it and the manager will ignore your emails but will respond back to you on a public forum to make it look like they’re doing something. Looks like I should’ve read the reviews because this happened to multiple different people.
