Hangar 18 Indoor Climbing Gym - East Riverside

The front counter customer service was horrible, they basically told me that since im a new climber i can't start with my other friends until 12 (i got there at 10 when they open) because you have to take a "bouldering class" even though im 21 and am with Avid Climbers

This place is great.indoor climbing is fun but i really like hangar 18 because of great staff members like james.he took the time to show us the ropes (haha) and got my wife and daughter started off on their new favorite sport.thank you james and thank you hangar 18

Pretty awesome deal includes rentals with some package membership. Tons of locations too my kids had fun.

Decent setups to climb. The only problem for me is that there is like no AC in this gym. All they have are giant fans that are blowing hot air around. The gym feels stuffy and gets a little hard to breathe after you are climbing.

I can’t speak for the quality of the gym because they wouldn’t let me climb. Apparently before I could boulder I had to take a bouldering class that would cost an additional 30$. I am an experienced climber who has been to dozens of gyms around the country and never seen a policy like that before. I would understand if the class requirement was just for top rope but a class requirement for bouldering is ridiculous. Apparently you can test out but you can only do it during the class which only happens once per hour. I showed up at 20 past and I wasn’t going to wait around for 40 min.

This is a pretty good climbing gym! My standards are pretty high because I come from the touchstone climbing gym family. I was a member of Cliffs of ID in Los Angeles, and the amenities there were quite a bit better than average. That being said my standards are really high. But the route setting at hangar east riverside is really good. In comparison to Cliffs the grades are much higher. I'd always been told that they grade soft at Cliffs, and once I came to hangar I understood why. The grades if you ask me are definitely more comparable to outside. This gym has quite a few auto belays which is really nice. Quite a bit of good bouldering, a kilter board, and all of your finger strength/campus tools. The staff is really nice, and helpful, all in all its a really good gym. I thoroughly enjoy coming here.

Drove two hours to get the opportunity to try out the gym and it was well worth it the staff was friendly and there was more than enough routes to keep us entertained. Will visit again

Great smaller climbing gym! Boulders, top out, auto Belays, lead, fixed 45deg kilter board, campus and a work out area with rowing, rings and your normal stuff.

Great boulders, kilter board, and clean bathrooms! Climbers here were super friendly and socially distanced. There was also a pretty decent weight area.

Super fun and the staff are super nice and chill. It definitely will take time to do some things but is worth the time

Great place to spend with friends or alone. Great staff, and great equipment. Reasonable price and all around good place.
