Dogpatch Boulders

Amazing bouldering gym with really fun and creative problems. I joined as member during Covid since I recently moved to SF, and while they've had to shut down a couple times due to local restrictions, they did a really great job of creating a safe environment while they were open. I'm looking forward to being able to boulder consistently here when things improve with the pandemic. Oh, and if you're into hip-hop/R&B, you'll love the music here!

Our first time visiting was this past Saturday with some friends. We had a blast and everyone was very friendly. So many options to choose from and all difficulty levels for all people. Parking can be tough and may be easier if you walk all the around to the back side of the building. There is also a cool little restaurant and bar which is perfect after a hard workout.

The bouldering areas here are extensive - two stories! They have pretty diverse routes and even a bouldering cave/ramp, which is awesome. Folks are friendly and it's way less crowded here after work than it is at PG Sunnyvale. Beautiful views of SF abound! One star off for tricky parking and being kind of far away from everything. But all in all, this is a great gym.

I recently decided to try this place out after a long hiatus from climbing, and I'm glad I did. After taking their intro to bouldering class as a refresh, I was totally hooked and got a membership. I really like that they make bouldering feel accessible to people who have never done it before. They also have a weight room and various fitness and climbing classes, which I'm excited to check out.

Climbing area is great! Locker rooms are tiny and smelly though. And they claim to be renovating locker rooms with more space and saunas since I joined in May 2017. From their FAQ of when everything will be ready- "Not in the next few months, unfortunately—expect construction to be ongoing throughout 2018." As 2019 draws to a close, it would be great to see an update..
