The Spot Bouldering Gym - Denver, Colorado

Cory Galloway

Parking lots are all around. $4 parking on Saturday. Gym is a bit older/dusty, but not too bad. Walls are shorter. Holds are mainly Rock Candy/Pusher/Flathold. Setting is technical with lots of great moves. NOT comp style and almost no volumes. I think we counted 7 wood volumes in the gym. Most are older. No Dimension, Fit, Blocz, etc. Would go back for the nice technical setting.

Popped in while on vacation to kill an hour in the late afternoon. It’s been many years since I’ve been to a bouldering gym but I was made to feel immediately welcome and comfortable by the team member who checked me in. They provided a great overview of the gym and got me set up with rentals (shoes were in good shape and sanitized) and I got to climbing right away. It was a quiet time of day to come which was perfect for me since I was solo and out of climbing shape. All other climbers were super chill and I didn’t feel intimidated or unwelcome at any point. I loved spotting the awesome weight lifting section of the gym and would definitely return and use that as well on a future trip.

Took an intro to bouldering class here, and I was SO impressed by everything. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The members were the same. Gym is clean and well kept. The instruction was out of this world and totally hooked me on climbing. If you live in Denver and love bouldering, you will love this gym.

Was in town for a few days and needed a quick work out.

Bought a day pass for $26 and spent a good 3-4 hours bouldering as well as getting a lift session inside their gym. It's a full gym- squat rack, smith machine, barbells and dumbbells.

Friendly staff up front.

Will go back again!

Another 5 star gym in Colorado! It's got old school vibes in the best way possible. The setting is just exceptional, the staff are so friendly, and that bleeds into the community which is just truly so welcoming and wonderful. I've been to a handful of CO gyms that are massive and just immaculate, but I cant make friends to save my life. But every time I'm here, it just seems like everyone is a friend of mine.

As an old school rope climber, I can't get enough of the spot!

An incredible community, exceptionally welcoming! Very talented routesetters and climbers, with regular wall resets. The machine and weights part of the gym is good, too! Always hard to pass up on the discounted beers with a membership. Constant social events and fun to be had!

Great gym! I went with my friend for the first time today and had a great time. I’m a beginner and I felt appropriately challenged on the routes and there were plenty of different options for me to try. It wasn’t too busy on a Sunday which was nice. Everyone there was super friendly, they have a bar with drinks, puzzles, games to play, and it sounds like there’s even trivia on certain days too! I’ll have to come back another time soon, it seems like a really good community and is very family friendly.

Me and my boyfriend are from Calgary - we are avid climbers from the Bow Valley of Canada.

I've been climbing for over 12 years where my days as a climber are borne from old-school gyms as in the walls were built from the 1970's, taped routes, and the facilities were chalky, a little dusty, and exuded that dungeon-esque vibe. A lot of those gyms have since reno'd to the now pristinely clean, open-concept, and more new-school comp setting.

Coming to The Spot was like jumping back into time and I was 10000% here for it. Absolutely loved the setting which was technical, crimpy, hugely beta-driven and mimicked outdoor rock movement. The photos taken do not give any justice to how (surprisingly) large this facility actually is where the sheer number of walls and problems to climb on is impressive. The training area had a good variety of hangboards and training boards (kilter/campus/tension), along with a weight-training section. It kept me and my partner busy for nearly 4 hours where we bouldered till we had no skin left. I wish there more gyms like this in my own city. If I ever come back to Denver, I would not blink an eye at paying the $26 fee to climb here again.
