Cool gym in a prior theater. Very clean and decent bouldering space, seems like they'll have a moon board (?) setup at some point too which is neat. They've got 4 top rope routes too but you'll definitely want to be here for the bouldering.

Fabulous bouldering gym in the east bay area. If you like bouldering, you shouldn't miss this place! Especially overhang and slab boulders, there are a lot here with different grades.

Love this gym. I wish they have yoga classes, and change the routes more frequently but I am grateful that there is a climbing gym in walking distance from my house. Thank you TC!

Was hoping this could be my all around gym but the weight area is tiny and it feels like you’re working out on top of others. The size of a lame hotel gym. It’s a shame they didn’t make it a little bigger as there is plenty of extra room that wasn’t efficiently utilized. They have a giant “lounge” area outside of the bathrooms that no one uses and could have added to the workout area. It’s also quite hot and stuffy inside.

New gym! Part of the Touchstone climbing gyms. The unique design used a former movie theater so there are two floors of tall walls. They currently still setting more climbs and it looks like they are still building the back wall. Looking forward to climbing here more often!
