Excellent climbing gym, one of the best I’ve been to. The staff is incredibly kind and Sam was fantastic for my lead lesson. They even offered a night climbing event. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome experience!
It was our first time at Stone Age and we were really impressed with the facility, but even more so with the guides. Kieran helped us from the beginning and was really patient and kind to my 5 year old daughter. She was really scared and wanted to bring her little stuffed bunny. He made a makeshift harness for her stuffy so she could attach it with a carabiner onto herself. He really went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and I really appreciated it! While she did not go up the wall this visit, we will definitely be back to try again! Thank you again Kieran!
Stone age climber gym is one of the best gyms located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Always a great atmosphere. Stop by and check them out.
Cool climbing walls, lower prices than Santa Fe by a lot, plus you can come and go all day.. I'll make the trip just to use their climbing gym❤️
A fantastic climbing gym, and even better guides! Whether you want to climb indoors or outdoors, Stone Age is the place to go! While visiting ABQ for a week, we spent an evening climbing in the gym and also booked a day of guided climbing outdoors. We had a wonderful time both days! Cat was an amazing guide. She easily gauged our experience/interest and recommended a perfect crag for us to climb in the Jemez mountains. When one wall was surprisingly busy, she had a backup plan that we switched to with no delay in our day of climbing. She was a great belayer, beta-giver (not sprayer) and teacher! Because Cat is so knowledgeable and supportive, I felt comfortable lead climbing and lead belaying with her, which are both things that normally scare me too much to try. Not only was Cat always looking out for our safety, she also was conscious of our comfort--always checking that we were drinking water, eating snacks, and putting on sun screen. We had such a fun time and it felt like we were all just hanging out at the wall together. From our evening in Stone Age (North location), it's clear that the gym is filled with wonderful folks like Cat. I've been to quite a few climbing gyms across the US, but Stone Age has the best culture of any I've visited. Their safety policies and procedures center education as a solution, unlike many gyms which take a punitive approach. This facilitates a community culture that can make everyone safer, because feedback can be given without sowing defensiveness. Although we were only there for one evening, the gym community felt very close-knit. Stone Age staff will make an announcement on the loudspeaker if someone needs a climbing partner and will ask for volunteers. Within a minute or so, someone volunteered to climb for my husband's lead test (something that takes a lot of trust!). That guest was so nice that we ended up climbing with him for most of the visit, with him taking us under his wing and literally showing us the ropes ("you should climb this route, you'll like it, that next hold is good, you've got this!") I'm sad to leave ABQ because I wish we could take this wonderful gym, and its phenomenal climbing community, home with us!
