I’ve been going to this gym for 3 years now and this year has been the worst for climbing at Hangar 18 Orange. 1. Almost every weekday at around 6-7pm, there is a line that wraps around the building. I’ve waited 45mins to an hour just to get in. 2. The gym closes at 10 on weekdays. I understand that the employees are people and they want to go home. Usually they’d begin cleaning up, turning off the fans, closing the doors and telling climbers “Last climbs” around 9:45, which is reasonable. Last time I was there, they started this process at 9:30 by turning off the fans and making it crazy hot in the gym. The gym already has bad airflow and it smells like feet. Really feels like the workers just want to kick people out as quickly as they can. 3. Parking is not great either, due to the many people who go to this gym. It’s just not fun and management has done nothing to combat these issues. The routesetting is pretty neat, but having to wait to get into the gym and then having to wait to get onto the wall because of the amount of people is very disheartening and leave not only me, but so many other patrons bitter. Also the ping pong table…I’m sorry but it’s so unnecessary lol. It takes up so much rug space when people could be stretching, and there are players who are so into the game that they’ll bump into people who are trying to stretch. I hope the management at Hangar 18 can address these issues and make it more enjoyable for their patrons who come here for good climbs and community.
