Nice staff.
Good gym overall, and I’ve had a good experience climbing here. My only issue is with the restroom lock. I informed the front desk that the restroom door unlocks when someone tries to open it, and they were already aware of the issue but didn’t seem too concerned. If this has happened more than once, there should at least be a sign warning people or the lock should be replaced. It’s only a matter of time before someone accidentally walks in while another person is using the restroom. It’s a privacy and safety issue that should be taken seriously.
I wasn't the one that was Rock Climbing but my grandson has been there and believe me...he loves that place, he's been to many Rock Climbing places and I think he would rate it 1 out 10..a 9
Good place to do a bouldering
My favorite place to de-stress! The staff and community is great.
Unique experience a must try
Small lowkey bouldering spot. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rental shoes are terrible. Had big holes in them. Made it really hard to climb in them.
"Very kid-friendly staff and a very clean environment. It's a great spot for families and friends. Highly recommended!"
We had our very first intro class with Hangar 18 Rancho a couple of months back. The class was brief yet informative. Demo, practice runs then safety practices when climbing. We've now been going and having fun in this gym for a couple of months now. I have only been to a few bouldering gyms but this is one of the nicest i've been to. Staff are great, place is clean. It may get crowded at times but not to a point where you can't find a spot to do laps/warm-up in then rotate. Gym has 2 restrooms, water dispenser, indoor and outdoor waiting/seating area, plenty of parking and a microwave. The location is a little secluded so bring snacks for longer sessions as there's no food nearby.
