Oaktown Boulders

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 I had an excellent time training at Oaktown Boulders. I am an intermediate level climber and have been stuck in my progress. Alex is great to work with! He helped me target some of my weak areas and even gave me extra time and pointers after my official session was over! I recommend this gym to an...

Benchmark Climbing

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 One of my friends climbs so we stepped in to check this new place out . If I can give them 10 stars I would !! Starting from the friendly faces in the front to such a fine clean interior design to cool refreshments ..But the best part of it is how very friendly and educating some of the staff is . A...

Rocknasium

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 Even after many, many years of being in business, Rocknasium continues to stay true to its roots: awesome climbing routes, friendly staff and a super fun environment for all ages. It’s a must-stop destination in Davis!

Session Climbing

Rock climbing gym

👍👍 I had never climbed once in my life before joining session, but after their intro to climbing class with their staff I'm giving it a go and better yet my 8 year old is really loving it. They have a moderate size gym upstairs and a great yoga studio too. They do have a few showers and a small locker...

Outdoor Adventures

Raft trip outfitter

👍👍 I might be biased cause I work here but OA is a wonderful place, there's a whole lot of really amazing gear rentals and classes/trips that you can take. Love the outdoors and OA is pretty much my gateway to get there.

Diablo Rock Gym

Rock climbing gym

One of a mini-chain of climbing gyms, featuring a 32-foot wall & 2,000 sq. ft. of bouldering.

Pacific Edge Climbing Gym

Rock climbing gym

😐 Lucky to be the only game in town. If a proper gym opened up in town, I would switch in a heartbeat. I've been to gyms in CT, SF, Boston, Denver and COS. Pacific Edge can't compete. It's small and the space isn't used efficiently, so climbing--especially bouldering--is limited. While some gyms hav...

Rockzilla

Rock climbing

😠 When we visited today at Rockzilla, my husband, two kids, and myself. There was a birthday party that reserved the red wall which the owner did inform us of when we arrived. It was fine because we can utilize the remainder of the gym, except for the bouldering wall. He did not offer a discount which...
