Alta Climbing

This gym is the most amazing facility I have ever experienced! I was visiting from out of town and was so excited to check out the gym. I’d like to give a shoutout to Kyle specifically for assisting me in deciding if I should purchase a day pass or a punch card. I decided on the punch card since the punches don’t expire for 3 years. He really went out of his way to explain the belay check and what I would need to do if I wanted to bring family or friends who have never been before. This gym really thought of everything including a drink station, a kids area, auto belays, an amazing non climbing gym, very nice restrooms with showers and a foot dryer!, a very nice gear shop, and climbs for every level climber. The setting here is great and the routes have a very nice flow with a lot of variety. The only thing that wasn’t my favorite is that all of the top ropes have a GriGri+ already on the rope. But maybe it’s for insurance reasons and it’s not that big of a deal, just not my favorite belay device to use. Even when the gym is busy, there is plenty of room and it doesn’t feel crowded. I travel for work a lot so I have seen quite a few facilities. There are some amazing climbing gyms in Southern California. I am not going to name these facilities but if you’ve been in that area, you know which ones I am talking about. Alta climbing gym is the best and most thought out facility I have ever seen. I would highly recommend! I seriously want to move to Arizona so I can train at this facility!

Our family had been climbing at Alta since 2023 and we love it so much! The climbing is incredible and the auto-belays are my favorite! My daughter is on the comp team and really enjoys it. And the Hot Yoga class on Monday nights with instructor Ashley is the BEST!! She’s amazing and her class is my therapy. Alta has so much to offer and the staff have always been awesome. Grateful to have this place so close to us!

We had our daughter’s birthday party at Alta and we had never been before as well as a lot of the other kids that attended. The staff was incredible and made everything so easy, fun and enjoyable. Ella was a saint and so good with the kids as well as the other staff. Their manager helped us unload our car, got a wagon and took it all up to the room just for the sake of being kind and helpful. We had a great experience and highly recommend having a birthday party there! Thank you Alta for a great and memorable birthday experience!

There is absolutely no contest when it comes to Alta. I have visted nearly all of the climbing gyms in the valley and Alta is unmatched. The walls are the tallest, funnest, and the environment is purpose built. We were members here a long time and I thought the value was there. The community is so welcoming too. Seriously go make friends and have a great time! They've recently streamlined orientation too which is a huge bonus. All of the staff here is great! And listen if they get after you about sticking to the rules, remember. They want you to be safe! So lose the ego and climb safe!

I've been a member for a while, and have experienced two major issues with the gym. 1) The music volume has always been an issue, but it has become increasingly overwhelming lately. Attending yoga classes isn't relaxing because the gym music takes over the music being played in class and takes away from what is supposed to be a relaxing atmosphere. Communication during belays is extremely difficult with the music, which hasn't felt safe while lead climbing. I know others have mentioned the music volume before, but nothing ever seems to be done about it. I have been to many other gyms and the music is always at ambient levels. Alta is SO unnecessarily loud. 2) There are frequently children in the fitness and training area with coaches who are not supervising them diligently enough. I have seen kids swinging from the cages while people were lifting, and I have had the training area inundated with kids near the fall zone when I am on the boards. The fitness area has age 14 and over posted as a rule, so at the very least if they are there as part of a program or team there should be a high level of supervision for it to be safe for everyone. I want to continue coming to Alta but am considering switching to a gym that isn't so loud with seemingly no consideration from management in regards to the numerous complaints about this from its members.
