The Stronghold Climbing Gym

Love this little bouldering gym. The routesetting is fantastic and they have a good variety of features. Training areas as well. A spot inside to park bikes. Some snacks too. And showers. Love this gym!

My partner and I recently went here for Bouldering 101 which is geared for beginners. There were six people in the group and one instructor, and the class consisted of one hour of the instructor teaching us different techniques and all of us practicing them. Our instructor, Roy, was outstanding in his verbal instructions and physical demonstrations on the wall, along with being super friendly and patient. The intro class was perfect for me considering I have zero climbing experience. I’ll definitely be back!

Seems like a solid place to climb although the membership fee is over $1000 a year or $30 for a day pass which is a bit insane. The location built inside an old factory is epic and I can understand the price point for such a cool spot but I’m very confused about the Echo Park location.

Lovely, smaller gym with a nice diversity of routes. Workout area consists of a nice cage with a barbell, bench, and free weights. Clean. Price is a bit steep compared to what I'm used to.

I would die for Stronghold. Thank you for the AC at the new bouldering gym. As a primarily rope climber, I do wish the new gym offered top and lead options but I’m still a fan of their echo park bouldering gym.
