Rock Spot Climbing: Providence, RI

Probably some of the worst bathrooms of any establishment I have ever been to. Floor is grimy. Poorly lit. Soap somehow smells terrible. The doors are extremely heavy which makes you either manhandle the door handle with your clean hands or shoulder the door open. Bathroom key situation makes it so you have to handle something dirty directly after washing your hands. Fair play the toilet bowl is usually ok but... come on owners. Edit: I removed the note about water pressure as it was unavoidable due to city wide water work. However I will add instead that one of their dumbbell racks is made from thin, sharp metal which could very easily hurt you.

First time coming here. I was a spectator. The group I was with really enjoyed themselves. They climbed for about an hour, then we hung out to talk and drink water. You chose a path to follow and climb. They have a rock wall treadmill, huge walls to climb, 2 training walls for more advanced climbers, a gym section. Great time had by all. They have good prices, snacks, drinks, climbing gear, all different products, & bathrooms are available

This place was was great! I got a day pass and went for two climbing sessions with some friends who are new to the sport. They had a great range of easy to expert. I felt challenged with tons of climbs well above my skill level.

All the employees were super kind, informative, and helpful. We had a great time climbing, and there were lots of different routes to try out.

The gym has potential. Pros: many climbing problems even though it is a small space, not too busy on a Friday night and the walls are a mix of overhung and vertical. Problems are fairly interesting and a bit gymnastic-y. Cons: I thought we all agreed that down climbing holds were a must in bouldering gyms these days? Tall sketchy top outs with not down climb holds definitely did not impress me… plus the mats are hard so jumping off the top is not so fun. That said, there is a moonboard, system board, treadwall, work out area with pull up bars and weights. Sooo I’d say the gym has promise and is not a bad option.
