Mesa Rim Climbing Center (Mira Mesa)

Coach Jayden's coaching methods at Mesa Rim Rock Climbing Academy are highly questionable. He compels both adults and students to climb, instructing other students to coerce them into continuing. Should they fail to complete the rock climb, they face punishment, and the entire group is denied a reward. Additionally, those who do not succeed are not permitted to descend. Such an approach to coaching is highly inappropriate and counterproductive, fostering a negative and punitive environment for students. BTW, he is always on his phone

Great for belay with lots of routes. Not so great for bouldering due to small crowded area, lots of people sitting or laying down, and labeling could be improved. It was very busy this weekend with all cubbies taken and many people waiting around. Family friendly and friendly employees. Wish there were more yoga classes on weekends

Great climbing experience for all skill levels. staff super friendly and helpful. plenty of walls to climb. gym equipment also available

We had a great experience so I had to share. Daddy/Daughter date night so I took my two young girls ( 7 and 10 ). None of us are very experienced. I've been to this gym but it's been a few years so I was rusty. The entire front desk staff was really helpful. They helped us get our waivers filled out and then did a very useful re-orientation with us on the harness knot and new bolle devices. They made sure we were all comfortable and doing our safety checks right and then turned us loose. We climbed for two hours and had a blast. Without the helpful staff at the front desk we would have been lost or discouraged. So good job Mesa Rim team! And we will be back. Both of my girls are stoked and ready to get a membership now. Thank you!

This Mesa Rim seems smaller than the other Mesa Rims. The top rope walls are very close to each other and the bottom person needs to make sure they don’t bump into other bottom rope people. It is still a very nice location, I just prefer the Mission Valley and North City locations more.
