    Awesome walls, friendly staff, and a great deal- once you're in you can do more than climb! I took a yoga class, and it appears they have gym equipment as well

    The climbing is good here. Some nights they close annoyingly early (9 or 10pm) and 7pm closures on weekends are completely silly. But the routes are always set well and people are mostly friendly.

    Mostly top-roping here, but there is a small bouldering area. Standard operating procedure is leaving the figure 8 knot in the rope & not tying both ends up neatly, keeping them off the floor.

    Sauna and showers are surprisingly nice. Weightlifting area is adequate for accessory work. Cardio equipment is also tucked away in pockets around the facility. Climbing, of course, is good too.

    Jody's yoga classes are amazing. Her morning class is the best way to start the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And if you want to step up your yoga game, take her intermediate on Wednesday evenings.

    Great vibe, really high top rope climbing, and a newly revamped bouldering area that is a lot of fun even though it is small.

    Great staff. Super friendly. Had a great time. Last Friday of the month is always 'being a buddy day'. Your guest gets in free : )

    Fun rainy day activity. The roof amplifies the sound of the rain, making it feel even cozier and drier inside.

    Can't beat the location. Decent gym, nice enough staff (which seems to be par for the course with Bay Area climbing gyms--always gotta be a few douches).

    Great climbing, great community, great perks to being a member. One question though... why is everyone at the front desk so unfriendly? It's as if they dislike the members. No emotion.

    Great climbing gym that is always busy. Bouldering area tends to be less full and still great. Fun for all levels and ages.

    Pretty great rock climbing, but hard to get to if you don't live nearby or have a bike (lots of bike rack space available!)

    Awesome cardio boxing and yoga classes. They change up their routes every so often so dont give up on your challenge routes or else they might disappear!

    Expansion is happening at the gym so if you're here to take a yoga class, check in then walk around the corner on alameda between 19th and 20th!

    Huge top rope walls. Bouldering is not as spectacular.

    Great for top roping. Head over to Dogpatch Boulders (another Touchstone gym) for bouldering, though.

    Jordan teaches the best yoga classes ever - perfect blend of balance, strength, and releasing muscle tension you didn't even know you had.

    Ever-changing routes means never getting bored. Challenge yourself to try a harder route, or an inversion!

    Use the bench in the bouldering area for sitting, not storage.
