Hangar 18 Indoor Climbing Gym - South Bay

Cool gym with good route setting. Smaller area, but good use of space. Plenty of route on top rope, lead, auto-belay, and to Boulder. Testing out of top rope, if you know what you’re doing only takes a minute. Just ask. Didn’t have much time so I didn’t try testing out of lead. They have some crack features and a well set slab wall.

Does it look like a climbing gym, smell like a climbing gym, and sound like a climbing gym? It sure does! Despite how compact the place is, there's a bunch of routes. Bouldering, lead climbing, top roping, and auto belay: they've got it all. Great sets and good vibes await. Plenty of parking is always a plus.

This gym has definitely improved over the last three years. It continues to provide challenging and creative routes at a competitive monthly price. Also nice that there's no initiation fee or charge for freezing your membership. They also have tons of locations so you'll never run out of problems. I recommend checking out the long beach location as well.

Great atmosphere. New courses every month. Great pricing and clean space. Mornings are Empty and clean. As time passes the crowds come in and out and the place does get messy with chalk but that’s expected. By the next day it’s clean.
