The Boulder Field

We have been going here once a year for about 3 years and would love to give a 5 out of 5 as the actual bouldering part of the gym is fantastic. However, the check in process takes too long, even if you fill out the waiver beforehand. Be prepared for at least 20-30 minutes to check in. Also, it would be great if they offered a half-day pass or something shorter than an all day. Another area in which they are slow is the cafe. Be prepared for a 25 minute wait for hot chocolate. One positive improvement is that the staff is actually friendly now. When we first went, they acted annoyed that people wanted to use the gym, but now they actually smile and greet you. Other than the fact that the employees are slow at checking people in and making drinks, the experience is very enjoyable.

I'm in the military from out of town visiting family. Bought a 10 punch card last year since I come once a year and was told I can share it with family. Show up today and told I can't share it anymore and that they can't help or do anything. Offered no alternatives and no supervisor to assist. I explicitly asked last year if I could share the punches and was told I could. Now I have wasted $200+ on a place I can't go to that often since I live on the east coast.

Great bouldering only gym with a lot of variety and climbs for all skill levels. Routes get changed frequently so you always have something to do. There is also a decent training area with training boards. Also a small kids area to keep the little ones away from the fun stuff. Definitely recommend this gym if you’re in the sac area. Much better than any other one I’ve tried.

Super impressed with this place. It's enormous, there are hundreds of boulder problems. The setting is incredible, obviously the setters are passionate about climbing. There were many dynos, comp style problems, and plenty of slab and overhang. The gym is very large, almost impersonal because of its size. It's not cozy, has a warehouse feeling. But everything about the gym is awesome. There is a bar serving Coffee and Tea, as well as alcoholic beverages. The staff was very friendly, it appeared there were only two staff, front desk and bar tender. The crowd was fun. It was easy to make friends. I got a day pass without gear for $25. It's a good value considering the variety of training you can do here. All styles of climbing are represented. There are training boards, a weightlifting and calisthenics area, a dedicated children's area, and fully equipped bathrooms and showers. The walls have a lot of texture so it's easy to smear. I loved the variety of holds, including very expensive holds. There was a good mix of plastic and fiberglass. They do a color grading system, so all of the problems of one color are in the same grade range. That made it easy to go right down the wall and do a circuit. If I lived here I would definitely be a member! I had a great time, and highly recommend you check out this gym if you possibly can!

Fabulous gym with a nice workout area and traverse area. Really enjoyable and the staff was so friendly. Their coffee was fabulous and they have beer and lots of sitting areas if you just want to hang out. The climbing area for the kids is really well done and the place is very clean. The first gym I've been to with an area of more dynamic problems and an area which are more technical. Awesome.
