Rock Haven Climbing Gym

We absolutely love this gym. First of all, hands down the CLEANEST gym I have ever set foot in. Daryl puts hard work into making this place spotless. It’s important to me to have a well equipped workout room at my climbing gym and they have it. The setting is creative and seems to accomodate to different heights and genders. They have a good variety of holds. The staff is kind and made my day every time I come in. It’s never super busy and overwhelming like other climbing gyms in the area. Truly felt like a haven when I’d come in. The price to value compared to what I have paid for other climbing gyms is pretty great, very reasonable. I would say the only thing that would make Rock Haven better is acquiring more holds and increasing the setting density, but again there’s still lots to do :)

Really enjoyed Rock Haven!! Pros: Very friendly welcoming staff, they even let me use their tripod for taking climbing footage! Variety of food and drink. Clean and spacious dressing rooms with showers and lockers. Climbing area was very clean and open as well with lots of seating and nice natural light. A good variety of climbing, overhang, slab etc. and the gym wasn’t busy at all on a Saturday afternoon. Only cons: The setting could be slightly repetitive with movement/holds but with that said I did get on many fun boulders. Used to V grading system but didn’t mind the color system as much I thought I would. The workout/weight room was nice and private w a good amount of equipment, was hoping they had a treadmill but unfortunately just had bikes & rowing machines for cardio. Overall would definitely return if in the area again!! Great Vibes!

It's great to have a local gym, especially one as wonderful as rock haven. The staff is incredibly kind, the routes are fun, the entire gym is essentially spotless, everything is great. Rock Haven goes out of its way to create a community space. There are free classes - yoga, HIT, bouldering - there are league nights, special events, and more. As far as I'm aware, it's all included with a membership or day pass, which is a great deal. The gym strives to be a pillar of the community and an inclusive space. I appreciate all the work the team puts in, and love being a member of the community.

The staff here is super nice and accommodating. They also have plenty of refreshments and snacks available for sale, including beer. Not a big fan of the color grading system as opposed to using v grades. That being said, the root setters do a fantastic job of creating very imaginative climbs at lower to mid levels mainly. They have a few at high levels but I don't think there's a high demand for that out here. I get the gist of what they're trying to do in regards to get more entry level and new climbers. Being this far out from Portland, getting new climbers into the sport is a solid business model and I always have a lot of fun while I'm there.

I don’t think I’ll be returning to this gym. I initially loved it, and it might be a great place to start a team when my daughter turns nine. However, I find it difficult to enjoy my time here as a single parent. I can’t work out because I need to stay with her in the very limited and boring kids’ area. She isn’t allowed to join me in the larger climbing area because she doesn’t meet the age requirement, which I understand. That said, the setup makes it challenging for single parents to spend quality time with their kids while also enjoying the gym. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sorry
