    This review might be a little biased since I'm used to the standard of gyms in Colorado but here are my opinions... The cons: The air conditioning is not strong enough so it feels very humid(and I went during a non busy time). The holds are unbelievably dirty, tons of rubber and tons of chalk. holds that should be textured are incredibly greasy and slippery. Some of them are polished like the limestone in Spain. The staff/management either doesn't know that they can pressure wash the holds to fix this or chooses not to. Both are bad for their own reasons. The pros: The setting is not good or bad. Mediocre is better than bad I suppose. There's a moonboard(although I was terrified to use it due to the cons mentioned; greasy holds and sweaty conditions are a recipe for slipping off holds and getting a finger injury). If they washed their holds this would be a good gym. If they washed their holds AND had better air conditioning this would be a great gym.

    Very nice place! On Thursdays it's free for woman which is a great opportunity, to find out if it's the right thing for you. Has very nice staff and is generally nicely organized.

    Pricier than other climbing gyms I've been to, but it's worth it as the place is spacious, clean and well maintained. Will definitely come more often!

    With this review, I have mainly tourists in mind, who are looking to boulder in Israel. Overall, I would say this gym is ok, I give it 3.8/5, if you're unwilling to travel to Netanya (to Monkeys Climbing Gym 5/5), and want to stay in the Tel Aviv area, than this is the gym to go to. However...the point of reference really matter here - as far as climbing gyms in Israel - it's definitely one of the bests. As far as climbing gyms *in general*, it's mediocre at best. Let me explain: The bathrooms and showers are constantly dirty, there's a handicap toilet that's turned into basically a storage closet for the janitor, so good luck using it. There are 2 urinals in the men's room, one has been out of commission for about 3 months now, they stuck an A4 paper on it that says it's broken and called it a day. The emergency exit is always blocked by 10 pairs of bikes, good luck actually getting out of the gym in case of emergency. The electronic systems in this gym are from the soviet area, I press you to find a business in all of Tel Aviv that is worse in this regard. The staff is extremely nice but helpless due to the soviet area computers they are given - if there's a que of 3 people at the register, you can expect a 15 minutes wait - easily. Do you think I'm joking? I'm not. I always feel sorry for the staff behind the counter, because they're honestly doing their best with so little. The entrance fees to this gym are out of this world. The mobile app for this gym is embarrassing. This is something that every woman, man and child agree on, including staff. It's barely, hardly usable. There's a guy, like a single guy who makes the decisions, and apparently he likes money, he likes money more than he likes his climbers, or else why would he keep this app? With that said, I think the routes are interesting and fun, the holds are clean, there are climb down holds which is very suitable for beginners. Welp - circling back to the start of this review, this gym is better than others in Israel, but objectively, it has many unaddressed problems.

    😊 A Gay-friendly bouldering hall. Super nice, clean, and modern. Prices are a bit high.

    Dirty place, dirty climbing hooks. Bad administrator. Waiting about 10 minutes to look him. Haven't a locker-room, only dirty closet and bath. Map of categories not except. Dark. Was in different climbing clubs in different countries - it's worst and expensive.

    Good gym, great routes; HOWEVER, the ratings are extremely soft. Expect to climb 1-3 grades higher than what you'd climb in Europe or the US. That being said, half the people here climb in Solutions, so the grading may seem accurate.

    I climbed here when visiting Tel-Aviv for a wedding. I came on Thursday when girls come in for free. As you can imagine, there were there five times as many girls as guys on this day. It was a great experience! Four stars because the routes are not that many and the holds are pretty dirty, but would still definitely recommend it!

    Was recommended this gym by another follow climber and happy I went. Great staff, night climbs and routes, clean and good community of people. Also like how spacious it was and how the routes weren't crowded with holds over holds like some other gyms.

    Very disappointed with their subscription policy. Yesterday we came there before 19:10 and got to know that we can only enter if we have a subscription. Though the only subscriber's entrance time starts at 20, now they only let you in before 19. I've been there a few times already, and I'm sure that I entered the gym on subscriber's only evenings after 19 and before 20, and no one told me that that's a problem. One of the staff was trying to be nice and was ready to let us in because it was less than 10 minutes after 19, and it was the first time I had heard such a rule. But the other staff quickly mentioned that we would have to exit by 20. It had never been like that before. At least no one told me that I had to leave. Apart from that, I usually like the routes and how frequently they rebuild them, and in general, the staff is friendly, but this experience made me very frustrated. They should at least clarify the information about the "subscriber's only" days. There's only information that it starts at 20 on Monday and Wednesday.

    Hands down the best gym in israel. Don't come after 6PM as it is usually super crowded. 10AM - 4PM are the least crowded hours.

    Great place to climb. I went at around 4:30 and it was packed but I didn’t need to wait long to go on routes. There’s also some gym equipment there and weights. I would definitely recommend and come again.

    After buying a month pass, which was reasonably priced for TLV, I proceeded to go 3 to 4 times a week and got to know some of the staff and climbers. Overall the place is great. Climbers are friendly and helpful and staff too. The location is super central, amongst the Midtown complex, which is convenient. The hall itself is a good size, mostly shorter with some taller sections. The routes tend to be complex and very challenging due to the shorter routes, this required my climbing to be more exacting. I would be happy to recommend performance rock.

    Awesome climbing gym in the basement of a mall. Very modern facility with friendly staff and members. It’s medium-size. Not huge but plenty of routes to keep you interested. On some days classes come from nearby schools, so sections close for their use, which can make it feel a bit small. Overall great and would return when visiting Tel Aviv next time.

    Best bouldering hall in Israel. The routes are good and they set them often, the place is new and pretty clean, and the atmosphere and people are great. Only two small drawbacks: for the more advanced grades almost every route has dynamic moves in it (which Is hip but I think limits their style), and the holds color defines the grade of the route, which again limits their style as they don't have enough of a mix of hold types on all climbing levels.

    Excellent Boulder Climbing club Nice service and people :) You can also practice here yoga and there is some weights so you can use this place as a workout club as well

    Very tidy and spacious climbing gym. Good facilities. Too pricy, by far.

  • 3/5 P R. 2 years ago on Google
    Weird location. Entire gym is underground so it's always dark here, which makes climbing here a little depressing to begin with. Unfriendly hipster service and an overall unavoidable hipster Tel Aviv vibe. The place itself is large and surprisingly clean for a bouldering gym. The routes themselves have greatly improved - they no longer use the dumb old color-coded system and now instead grade like normal people - which allows for a lot of diversity. Problems were very interesting, particularly on the overhang. Rest of the wall a mix of mostly generic stuff. All in all, you can feel the quality here. One star off for unfriendly hipsterness and a relative lack of community and one star off for the stupid ridiculously high entrance cost and the lack of FreeFit acceptance. All in all, this is by far the best bouldering gym in Tel Aviv, but it doesn't even come close in comparison to other gyms outside the city.

    Amazing climbing facility, large, new and smart. Suits all levels.

  • 3/5 Moshie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Large gym by Israeli standard. However, the hills are slimy from repeated use and never being cleaned. Makes it hard to enjoy your visit.
