    So happy to see Allez Up in the list! I am a new climber and I currently climb there :) Took the intro classes as well. It's a really lovely place with wonderful community.

    I've been to Highpoint, the walls over the street are super cool! The holds tend to be really slippery.

    Where's EICA Ratho (built into an old quarry)? And where's the DAV Kletterzentrum München? Both claim for themselves to be the largest indoor climbing centres in the world, and none made the list?!

    You should check out the New Movement bouldering gym in Denver Rino District, it is a remodeled tin factory.

    When you gonna show the 10 coolest climbing gyms. WHY is it that you put your self more on the screen, rather than pictures from the gyms?
    We saw more of you than the gyms. Dude.
    I did not enjoy this video.

    @rsdpioneer10 7 років тому +2

    I've been to highpoint and vertical ventures. Highpoint is awesome and I fell in love with it when I walked through the door. I have to disagree with VV though. The routes are rated a little too easy. In my humble (slightly biased :P) opinion Aiguille is one of the best in Florida due to it's European climbing style.

    • @danielrubin353
      @danielrubin353 3 місяці тому

      Agreed vertical ventures is at a mediocre gym with below average setting and well below average terrain. They use the entire slab wall for kids climbs. Absolute joke.

    I feel like the castle climbing centre ,located in london, should have been on this list, or is it just me?

    • @DorienHerremans
      @DorienHerremans 7 років тому +1

    If you're a climber, skip Chattanooga. But, hit up Metrorock in VT- the best setting!!!

  • @androidrebel
    @androidrebel 7 років тому

    IMHO the Salewa Cube in Brixen should be there among the top ones too...
    It's not just well routed, visually pleasing and large, but it has an opening wall so that you can climb with air and sun coming in like you were in the outdoors! www.planetmountain.com/cms_planet/img/2/9516.jpg

    first gyms bouldering area looks terrible lol. Love the guy freesoloing at 3:57. Highlighting a common business decision for a gym (having a workspace separate from the climbing area) isn't noteworthy at all. By #3 You can tell this list wasn't put together by people who climb.

  • @danielrubin353

    Vertical ventures has no place on this list. It doesn't even have a serious lead wall. Baby angles and no prow.

    It should be named interesting architecture climbing gyms. But unfortunately the architecture is only relevant to provide structures for interesting routes. I would always prefer a well bolted route in a ugly gym than a boring route in a fancy gym. It is clear that you are not a real climber.
