Been climbing for a few months and have been enjoying it so far. Staff is super nice and the more experienced members are all friendly and helpful.
Definitely do not recommend Queer Crush if you are coming alone hoping to meet people and don't already know someone there. Maybe it's different if you know someone or are active in the climbing community. Not super welcoming or inclusive to newcomers, even if you're in shape. :/ Felt really lost, not welcome, and out of place. Wasn't clear how things operated or what to do. The event also actually started 30 minutes after advertised, so I was left there with nothing to do and knowing no one for a very uncomfortable and awkward half hour. By the time it was actually time to start, I felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable I just left. I'm a part of and have helped out with plenty of safe, inclusive queer friendly spaces and this was just not what you should do when someone is new. You need a welcoming committee and coordinator and information to make new people feel welcome, comfortable, and then come back as regular, paying customers. Not for me.
This was my main gym for years, but lately the route quality has taken a massive nosedive. Specifically climbs set by RAM are usually not fun and generally just kind of unpleasant. Somehow most of RAM's routes seem to somehow be simultaneously uninteresting and unnecessarily difficult/uncomfortable. I never feel accomplished at having finished his routes, just annoyed. This is more than just a matter of his routes being mislabeled as easier than they are, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes climbing fun.
Im a regular climber visiting this place for the first time, and I thought the gym was good! The problems are a little soft but pretty well thought out and flowed well around the v4-v6 range. The gym was clean and people were actually friendly. There aren’t as many inclined walls as the other gyms and the overall level of climbs was on the lower side, but it was still fun and challenging enough, and I’m sure newer climbers would be less intimidated with shorter and flatter walls. I enjoyed this spot more than LAB or Hollywood Boulders as a first impression.
Relatively smaller gym than other Touchstone gyms. Best parking though! Doesn't get too crowded yet. Needs more routes. No gym equipment yet as of March 2018. Convenient climbing if your around the area...
