Central Rock Gym - Rochester (NY)

5 /5 Robert Tetreault: Really neat place! Very popular and there were some really creative walls. Of the v0-v5 walls Id say they ran on the easy side. For example some of the v4s felt like v3s but despite that, they had some interesting solutions! The only downside is that some of the people there were really smelly but thats not something the gym can control.

5 /5 Jen Groot: My toddler loves this place. There’s a great area for kids 4 and up. The staff is really friendly and helpful. There’s a dedicated kids climbing area with a kids speed wall and integrated timer. There’s plenty of V0 boulder problems that are owed for beginner kids. They have kid’s climbing shoes and harnesses too.

4 /5 Evan Bray: Excellent bouldering gym for those in downtown Rochester. Clean walls and clean holds, which Im a stickler for. What stood out for me was that next to The grade for each climb, the setters would show a pie chart for how people rated the difficulty of that climb during an initial voting period. -1 star only because some of the downclimb holds had been polished to a high shine and are in need of replacement. Ditto for a 4-sided pyramid volume that had been reduced to a dangerously patchy dual-texture hold!

5 /5 Klaus Rong: The climbing gyms routes are very interesting and diverse. We came to this climbing gym from Canada and were able to do a lead test without an appointment. The staffs attitude and efficiency were excellent. As a chain climbing gym, this is my favorite one in the U.S.

5 /5 Alex: Excellent rock climbing gym. The staff are very supportive and helpful, and they have a great variety of rock walls. The weight room gym is also very fun— plenty of equipment of nice quality. I signed up to use the gym but got addicted to climbing too!
