    I want to start off by mentioning I have never provided a review on an establishment before; however, after my experience at Blue Granite today, I felt compelled to do so. My two sons ages 8 and 12 have shown a recent interest in learning to climb. I took them to Blue Granite on a Saturday at around 10am and was immediately greeted by a very professional young man (Ivan) at the front desk. Ivan welcomed my family and I and squared my boys away with some climbing shoes and harnesses. We were provided a tour of the beautiful facility and given a very thorough introduction to safety and climbing. It was not long and my boys were literally climbing all over the walls in the gym. The facility was exceptionally clean and the other patrons were friendly and helpful to my boys. Our day pass afforded us the opportunity to leave for a few hours and return at our leisure. We left for lunch and visited family in West Shore then returned the same evening for more climbing as the boys couldn't get enough! We live in Pollock Pines and will definitely be back to attend more classes to better our knowledge in safe climbing practices with hopes to take this outdoors during the spring and summer months. Thank you to Ivan and the Blue Granite team for such a memorable experience.

    Your local climbing gym! Great community of people, none of that pretentious climbing gym vibe you see elsewhere. Staff are super friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. Climbing and bouldering routes are updated quite frequently. I like that they do a community rating process of routes and problems to decide difficulty. BG has a great selection of yoga and exercise classes with some awesome teachers. Small exercise area with limited equipment, but it gets the job done.

    Blue granite is the best little local climbing gym. Gianna, and her crew, are some of the liveliest I’ve ever met. I love it there. Suana, showers, yoga, climbing, bouldering, all the things. Amazing place.

    There are few climbing gyms that are as friendly and inclusive as Blue Granite in South Lake Tahoe. Finding climbing buddies is a breeze and the gym has something for everyone. The setting is appropriately graded, the hold variety is great, and the movement on the climbs is far from simple ladders and big moves. Full workout setup with some machines + decent locker room and a sauna.

    Sweet little gym with a nice vibe. Been here twice so far and def not disappointed. The boulders are fun, haven’t tried the ropes yet. There’s a kilter board too and an area with lifting equipment. Staff is friendly and helpful and community seems nice (no brobrahs have been encountered yet). And, most importantly, there’s a sauna <3

    Great small gym in the south lake Tahoe area Cool boulders - mainly tried the steep stuff and enjoyed the new set Friendly staff gave me a discount for being a coach 🙏

    Blue granite is an ideal climbing gym. The friendly staff allow a very friendly environment to go. The top roping and bouldering rating are very close to outdoors, so expect to be humbled upon arriving. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants a positive environment to climb.

    Really well-run gym. So much nicer than all the big corporate gyms.

    This is my favorite climbing gym. The staff are always so nice and happy to help. Great route setters are always hard at work providing us with a fresh and challenging experience in both the top rope and Bouldering sections.

    It’s my favourite place. Ariel yoga is excellent. Love the sauna after bouldering.

    Fabulous, lots of routes for all levels (but skewing a bit more towards intermediate/expert), good rental equipment, community events.

    Great climbing gym for all level climbers. Workers were super friendly and nice and the customer service was great as well. Overall very good, had no complaints.

    Six and a half stars ! Great climbing gym and business. They are super nice and friendly to everyone and very fair too. From regular people to world class “dirt bag” rock stars this is by far the best climbing gym in South Lake Tahoe . I give it my highest (no pun intended with altitude) recommendation!

    Just had my son's birthday party there tonight. Super fun! Zach and Corey were so good with the kids. All the kids were at different climbing levels and they all had fun. Thanks Blue Granite! Highly recommend the gym and it's staff.

    Great gym. If I had a vote, I would vote to only allow liquid chalk. Folks were out of control with loose chalk and airborne chalk the other day. There aren't any chalk eaters, as well

    Friendly helpful staff. Nice high walls. Fun place to climb for out of towners who may not have time to go outdoors or if the weather is bad. The Refuge cafe also has great grilled Cheese and smoothies. I recommend the blueberry smoothie with espresso beans. It's delicious.
