👍👍 Was in the area walked in and got the quick tutorial and got to climbing. The price was on point they had everything you needed. They have single climb and other training and a good bouldering area. Absolutely had a blast and if I lived in witchita would be here several times a week. Loved it.

    A fun, but expensive adventure. If you're only going once and you're not a seasoned rock climber with shoes, harness, etc... be prepared to spend a lot. For 3 people it costed nearly $100 for admission and gear. The sad part was, we were so spent physically we couldn't last more than a few hours. If you were prepared to, no one stopped you from just hanging out for as long as you want, though. So to get your money's worth, stay, rest, and then climb some more. The experience was really cool. Even my 8 year old was able to get harnessed up and climb as high as he wanted, and the walls go 40 feet high. After a short course on how to operate an "auto-belay" from one of the friendly staff members, you're on your way. If you don't mind shelling out the dough, and your ready for a workout, I'd recommend the trip.

    Really enjoy this gym. My son has fallen in love with bouldering and I tagged along one day. I loved it. Staff is very friendly and gym atmosphere is not intimidating to beginners. It is a great workout and fun time. I will be back.

    An absolute GEM of Wichita!!! Not only is Bliss always squeaky clean, but the Bliss Staff is second to none! Bliss has climbing walls that range from "fun date night", to "there isn't any way I can do that"!!! 10/10 will climb again!!!

    I went here twice to boulder and had a very bad experience both times on back to back days. The route angles and layouts are a mess, the angles are totally off, and holds lack variety, so the puzzle component is missing. It feels like routes haven’t been tested and were just cobbled together. Many are poorly marked or missing tags, so you don’t know the level you’re climbing. I feel like the injury risk is high at this place. I spent $22/day to boulder, and there were teams or kids groups that overtook the small corner space both days, something the staff didn’t bring up before I paid. While there’s nothing wrong with being busy, being up front to someone new or from out of town would be nice, and enforcing climbing etiquette should be a given. Kids and their parents laying down in the bouldering area, climbing over the top of people or walking under a climber, etc. The staff were also weirdly standoffish for a climbing gym, and I felt more in the way than welcome. I also voiced that I only wanted to boulder to the staff initially and they made me do a belay tutorial anyway despite me saying I didn’t want to. Harnesses hurt to wear because I had hernia surgery in the area they normally sit, but I was made to do the training anyway. When I brought up my poor experience to the desk when leaving, they just kind of shrugged. I wasted $44 to boulder, and I’d advise anyone from out of town to maybe just save your money and wait to boulder at your home gym when you get back.

    Instructors were very helpful in getting my 6 and 9 year olds up and climbing. They had a blast.

    In town for work and wanted to come climb, so this was the place to be. Pros: Decently tough routes, good variety Everything clearly labeled Gym is very clean Free mouthwash in the bathrooms (I'm not kidding, single serve mouthwash dispenser) Cons: Gym is small Bouldering area is TINY Some masochistic route setter used red and pink on adjacent routes, as detailed in the picture. Neutral observation: walls have no volumes. Slab and overhang exist, and maybe it was just the sets that were up, but you normally see at least ONE somewhere...

    Amazing staff and environment! My daughter started climbing, which led me to start shortly after. It has been nothing short of an amazing journey! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

    For some context I'm a Hispanic teenager and this was my first time here. For a school P.E field trip we went here just to have a good time and climb, when I got to the desk after waiting in line for a bit woman at the front desk took a moment to finish the thing for the last person to sign in and give them the shoes to climb, my initial thought of what was going to happen was that my school already had an account for students to sign in and get a wrist band so that the could go and climb, (considering my school as done this a couple of times), so when the woman at the front desk and asked me for my last name I said Allen after she asked for my first name which was Noah (which is a pretty white name for a Hispanic) she paused and made a face and seemed to be confused, then proceeded to ask if that was my legal name as if I was an immigrant or not from the U.S (I'm from Texas) in my head I wanted to say "no that is not my legal name that just what people call me these days, my really name is Carlos Alejandro Pablo Diego Mateo Juan Frijoles III" I noticed the people waiting in line behind me made a sound of disbelief, the problem I have is why would you ask I that was my legal name it's not like I was going to lie about that not being my name. After I was waiting to get to the phone so I could call my parents and sign out a form for me to climb I asked my friend if he noticed what she said and he instantly said yes in chock. If any employees see this please correct how your employees treat customers because it's crazy for teenage Hispanic person to go through that.

    If you're coming from the west coast, be prepared. A V3 can feel like a V4 in California. Midwest gyms are generally more technically demanding while the "puzzle" aspect is the same. Still very satisfying. ABS routes were fair when comparing to routes at other gyms. Quick run through by staff to get my friend and me started fast.

    Our first visit and had good time. The prices were very reasonable and the staff very helpful. Will definitely come back and bring the family.

    My kids had a lot of fun here. They used the auto belay wall and had such a great time. The instructor was fantastic and the price is right. We'll be back!

    Our first visit and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility was little smaller than I expected, however, I didn’t feel crowded. Didn’t have to wait and climbed as much as we wanted. Overall, had a great time and will definitely come back.

    Recently did a group climb with my sisters. We were all beginners being brave, facing our fears and trying something new. Kate and Brett were our instructors/belayers and it was such a positive experience! We felt safe, encouraged and accepted as beginners. Climbing is the perfect combination of mental and physical challenge, and the best part is...if you are a beginner, you WILL surprise yourself! It was SO FUN!!

    I climb there on a regular basis and have never had anything bad happen, never disgusted, never felt excluded, never not wanted to go. The staff there is amazing, and they are so nice and will answer questions nicely and quickly if asked. The boulder room has a variety of styles and different ratings with fun holds and fun routes. That goes for the rope room as well. They have a gym upstairs that is pretty nice. And there are moon board is good as well. Overall, this place is a five stars and an amazing place to climb. If you haven’t climbed here, I recommend it.

    The staff here are so nice, and always willing to help if you're struggling with a route. They update the routes often enough to keep it exciting. There's a great community here as well - I've come without a climbing partner multiple times and have never had a problem finding someone to climb with. Bliss is amazing!

    This is a place I go out of my way to come to every time I am back in Wichita. Super helpful and friendly staff with some great climbing routes. Their bouldering room is one of my favorites!

  • 5/5 Vipurled (. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff are great! The routes are pretty challenging, and they are constantly changing. The workout area is great for a small conditioning before or after a climbing session. The bouldering section is great, providing difficult routes and holds!

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place, the staff is all really nice and helpful and it's a great place to meet other people that climb or just put headphones on and climb for hours by yourself. Along with bouldering and rope walls they have a little gym section that is pretty nice to do different accessories. If you need to rent equipment it will be around $30 total with a day pass, which for a place where you can spend virtually all day isnt bad at all.
