Great experience, plenty of space and difficulty levels!

We took our exercise class/people with Parkinson’s and their care partners to climb. What an amazing adaptive climbing program. The smiles and confidence after getting on the wall were so good to see! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Fun and challenging gym with great energy! New climbing routes are set weekly. Great mix of varying climbing routes for bouldering and for different levels of climbers. They have a decent number of belay climbing routes as well and smaller number of auto-belay routes. The women’s locker room/bathroom is well maintained and clean. Monthly membership is pricey but it comes with the territory of this sport.

Wow! Great staff and awesome environment. Took my son here for the first time to do the kids club and I was blown away. They had plenty of staff available working with the kids and my son was a little nervous but got encouraged by seeing the other kids climb. Also the have a section dedicated for the kids!!! What???!!

Great routes, friendly staff. I wish they sold snacks!

I find this gym somewhat disappointing. The atmosphere is generic and the setting style is limited. A climb would often have essentially the same move repeated throughout, and the style felt far from that of outdoor climbing.It was also frustrating that the staff were loudly vacuuming while people were climbing, making it difficult to communicate between climber and belayer.The staff were friendly and the facility clean. I write this review mainly to encourage the gym to offer Rochester something better :)

Friendly staff and friendly people ?However, membership/guest prices are high relative to other gyms, parking is poor, and they have no chalk rentals

Amazing Rockwell climbing great staff keep you safely climbing. My kids treated me to this for Christmas present and I enjoyed doing something different! My grandson also enjoyed doing it. He was very confident being only three I was not sure of visibility or his confidence. The facility has many people helping us, showing us ways to build his confidence, and when we were finished, he wanted to go back again and again! Would love to join his membership someday

My wife and I climbed here from the day that it opened until we had to move away. It was heartbreaking for us to leave this gym behind. The community and the staff at CRG Rochester are incredible and welcoming, the climbing was both interesting and challenging, and the various events and extras (workout clinics, rope/bouldering leagues, competitions, adaptive climbing clinics) were always very fun and well worth the cost of membership. I would recommend this gym to anyone at any level of climbing proficiency.

I've been a member since 2019, and as much as I enjoy climbing here its ridiculous that the parking continues to be restricted at this location. The back lot has been closed forever without being filled in. Now there are issues with the "free parking" in the parking garage. The slick and greedy owners of that have been sending members invoices for $46 a month which is wrong. Now there is no parking outside of the facility on the road which should be a city road with a new announcement that "the property owners" will no longer allow parking. So you expect all of your members to come but not drive, or drive and risk getting charged money or be towed at their own expense. Why would we come then? Its going to send all of your business to rockventures especially since your membership prices keep going up.You also continue to open multiple gyms in multiple states at the same time so we know that you have the money to fix the back parking lot for us to park in. Its extremely greedy of you and inconsiderate to the people who pay to make your business capable of expanding in the first place. Have some respect back for the members that keep you up and running. This needs to be remedied asap.

Had an impressive bouldering section! The billeting section was also much taller than other gyms I've seen. Friendly staff

+Great place to climb with wonderful classes and community. Staff and members are willing and enthusiastic to help. The classes are free if you are a member.-The lifting gym is secondary and because this place is so popular parking can be a struggle at busy times but there is a nearby parking garage that solves this issue (pretty sure they validate parking)
