Very nice place, we enjoyed and I hope will be back again
We come with 7years old daughter and she enjoyed time here, meet other kids too.
Very friendly staff.
Disappointing. Super hot, quite expensive equipment, bathrooms smell, and no chalk. They do have lots of different climbing options.
Eight of us join day pass package today. We have an enjoyable afternoon here, we played Squash, badminton, boulders. Equipment were all rented, not expensive hahaha.
The staff are very nice to us, introducing how to climb, how to play the boulders. What a great place for people who live in a city live with less exercise like us hahahaha.
One of the best climbing centers in Bangkok. Would give 5 stars if they changed their routes a bit more frequently as I've begun to run out of things to climb at my level
Great place for climbing, the team there is very nice. Can be more pocket friendly though.
Nice place, nice routes but nothing special. Very hot in the climbing area. As a man you are not aloud to take off your shirt but as a woman it's totally fine to wear sexy tops and hot pants. ️
Just putting in 5 stars to balance out Joakim’s entitled one star review. It is common practice for gyms to charge extra for shoes and harness otherwise it would be unfair for those who already brought their own.
Fun routes, expensive if your just climbing as a one off, (over 500 bht on the weekend) and a bit old school in the set up/lighting for the bouldering. But they appear to reset often so the smaller space and shape of the wall would keep you pretty interested and the holds were clean and looked after too. Not bad for what it is and the location if you're travelling and staying in Sukhamvit. If it was less costly, bigger and felt cleaner this would be 5 stars (the setting was super fun!)
A bit expensive for the day but you get access to so much more than the climbing area. Next time I go I'll make sure to come earlier and make a day of it using all the facilities on offer
Nice gym with all kinds of facilities. The climbing has fairly big sport section and a smaller bouldering cave with a bit of slab on the side. Nice hold selection and pretty physical setting. A short walk from sukhomvit and the BTS train.
A very cool place. The bouldering routes are mostly overhang. Most people come here for climbing.
Update: to owners response. There’s no need for your arrogant tone. Your response is condescending and not a good way to do business and communicate with your customers. It clearly did not say it would cost extra for harness and shoes and you should not assume customers should know something you don’t clearly state on your website.
475 Baht to climb is already very expensive in the first place.
Instead of trying to save face I suggest you acknowledge your mistake, apologise to me and correct the mistake you made by updating your website to say “shoes and harness is not included and will cost extra” so there’s no confusion.
Original review:
I would have given this 5 stars but I was very disappointed they use misleading advertisement. On the website it says 475 to use the climbing facilities but when I arrived they ask me for another 150 to rent a harness and shoes. It said nothing about rentals or that it would be extra charges. They can decide their own price but if they are not transparent on what the actual price is then it’s disappointing for the customer. They didn’t even offer to give the shoes and harness for free make up for their mistake.
It's surprising to me to find this high quality of a climbing gym in the middle of Bangkok. With limited actually outdoor options locally I didn't expect it.
This place is not the cheapest, but you do get access to the entire gym, which is huge. Spend the entire day here climbing, working out, then finish with a swim. The staff was super friendly and checked on yes multiple times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.
The price seems high for Bangkok, but in line with typical prices where I usually climb. The one negative, and it's a big one, is the heat. It's not air conditioned so it was sweltering hot. We tapped out after about 1 hour.
Friendly people, loads of routes. You gotta be assessed for lead or top rope before being able to belay/climb.
Cool gym, nice staff, reasonable prices. They have very challenging lines, a lot of ceilings but also easier routes for beginners.
Decent climbing gym part of a larger fitness facility. It was really hot and humid, no AC, partially open air. Draws for lead climbing were lower quality than gyms I’m used to but did the job.
There are plenty of top roping sections with easy climbs for beginners and then 5-6a climbs as well. There are 4 auto belays so there is the possibility of going alone.
The bouldering section is a bit underwhelming as a lot of routes are in a cave section and in general the routes are really not suitable for beginners. I took a beginner and they were not able to do more than one move on the V0-1 climbs. Having come from a bouldering wall that puts in new climbs multiple times a week the frequency of setting is disappointing at this wall.
Having said all that it is still enjoyable and there are interesting climbs. I do regularly go to the wall but improvements could be made.

I'm more of a boulderer, but I must say that the bouldering area is quite small, and most of them are overhang, which makes beginner a bit difficult to enjoy. Also, the problem is graded quite tough.even the V4s are quite tough which I never experienced in other gyms.
Day Pass could be a bit expensive if you just come for climbing, but considering it has nice gym, pool, etc. I think it is fair enough.and the annual membership is also a good deal.
Sweet place for not just rock climbing! Friendly staffs and good coaches they have you can always learn something from. About 15USD for 1 day pass.
