My first visit in an American Bouldering Gym and a rather disappointing one. Not sure about the 4.8 Stars. I think the gym invests more time in the wrong places. The showers, restrooms and changing areas are great, there is even Shampoo in the showers. One negative thing is, that you can't usw the lockers, If you don't Bring your own lock. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Now for the real negatives: The rest of the gym, especially the bouldering walls and mats are very very dirty. Never seen holds this covered in chalk. Basically no friction left. I saw Like two brushes in the whole gym and did not see anybody actually using them. Routesetting rather lower class. The mats in the gym could definetly need a renewal. Some are okay, some already contain holes and are uneven, which ist definetly a safety hazard in my opinion. All that for ~30$, which ist very excessive in my opinion for a day. Would have been two Stars, If it wasn't for the showers and restrooms and - of course - the free water dispensers.

Update: Upon visiting again, the holds are not overly slick and overall the setting is exceptional. The gym can get busy, but is a great place to visit regardless _______________________ As others have said, a huge number of problems, nice tall walls, and slab problems! But many of the climbs have holds so slick you cannot enjoy the climbs or trust the friction. Coming from other touchstone gyms I had high hopes, but the visit left me disappointed. The gym has a lot of potential, but the slick holds ruined my experience. I'm very happy this is not my home gym. The gym has a kilter board and spray walls, but no tension or moon board

Huge gym, lots of boulder problems. I don't know if it's just an anomaly when I went, but the biggest problem was that the gym was FILTHY. Piles of hair and dirt everywhere on the mats. I saw popcorn and confetti. I got there during member hours on a Sunday so i would assume the start of the day should be the cleanest. Maybe their vacuum was broken.

I LOVE the community at Dogpatch Boulders. However, I do feel like their lack of maintenance towards the mats is a serious safety hazard. Myself and friends have come really close to twisting our ankles and have tripped multiple times due to the ripped, and dilapidating mats. It really boggles my mind that a gym that is so successful has put off replacing mats over a year. The mats in the back corner are of serious concern as the holes are right under where you land when falling.

Massive amount of problems, some really creative boulders, really tall walls! Could easily be 5 stars if the gym put more thought into maintenance: mats are torn and way overdue for replacement and many holds are so worn to the point that they're completely slick and basically unclimbable. Either the holds require more aggressive washing and regular brushing while they're on the wall (where are the brushes??) or they're simply ready to be retired.

Cool bouldering gym on the way into main city SF. $25 for a day pass on a Thursday afternoon. Plenty of challenging climbs and some cool mantle problems. I wish there was more parking nearby though.

This place is just perfect! They maintain the holds really well and the facility itself is very clean. In addition, they frequently reset the walls to replace old climbs with new ones. They have a nice workout area as well for all your lifting needs!

Large gym. Good location. Parking is a bit difficult due to the busy nature of the neighborhood. Can be quite busy during peak hours. It's perfect if you come during off peak hours.

nice large gym with a variety of problems. good place for climbers across the board

Huge bouldering gym, I ended up doing 50 routes between V1-V3 and there were still several more I could have done but my skin was giving out. Some interesting route setting even in the lower ranges.

Discovered this place with my friend! Great experience with teachers and climbing enthusiasts. Had a blast rock climbing but definitely wears you down on your body. My first time and I need some practice if I wanna level up.

Dogpatch is my home gym, I visit three times a week (sometimes more) to climb and train. They have a large selection of bouldering, a kilter board, spray wall, campus board, weight training area, as well as additional areas upstairs for classes and training. The setting team is swift, I have yet to be able to catch up and often find myself putting those last few tries on my project after I'm already tired for the session, knowing it will be reset before I can come back for it. I am still fairly new in my climbing, averaging V3-5, but I would say the gym is slightly soft in comparison with other gyms (Pacific Pipe for example, or other gyms I've visited in the Midwest). Nonetheless, dogpatch enables me to train hard and work on a large variety of movements. The weight training area has a large weight rack, which serves as a pull-up station in addition to squat/bench/deadlifts/etc. There are specialized equipment such as the hang boards, weight belts for weighted pullups, and a wrist roller. Parking can be difficult, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find a spot, often behind the gym on 22nd or the street behind. As a female bodied person, I have always felt safe and welcomed at the gym, though sometimes the send bros don't realize they're hogging the wall and you'll have to interrupt them to put in your tries, happens anywhere. The locker room has showers and a sauna, great for after particularly hard sessions. If you're on the fence, I'd recommend stopping by! Day passes are a bit expensive, $30 for a day, but at $95 for the monthly membership is much more affordable. There is also a small shop at the front which includes climbing guides, drinks, snacks, and a limited selection of climbing shoes. Hope to see you around dogpatch

big place for bouldering, $20 for a early day pass before 3 pm. Fair pricing. I went in the morning at nine o’clock on Friday, a little bit cold , around 20 ppl playing around. Routes are nice and different types of walls! i went to planet granite in FEB 2018 it was big enough for bouldering and top rope climbing , Big windows for A good views to the park and sea. If you do both usually in your countries, I recommend planet granite, top rope climbing is very nice. if u want to bouldering,I think both place still good!

Very cool and spacious bouldering gym. Love the fact that it's not that crowded as movement. It's a bit far for people not living in sf though. Looking forward to the new site in south bay!

A good range of bouldering routes, and an adequately sized gym. Have been going here consistently for the better half of a year, and will continue :) People here are really friendly and will often cheer you on when doing difficult routes.

Great bouldering gym with good settings of a variety of styles. Training/workout area could be a little bigger.

One of my favorite climbing gyms in the Bay Area. Gets crowded after work hours.

Please note: Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 10am is for members only. Love the gym, but have forgotten a couple times and need to burn an hour before getting to climb.
