Best Rock Climbing Instructor Warren Near Me

Dax Billcheck: So much fun!

Olivia Eddy: Have been a member here for years, love the environment and great community of climbers.They should bring back the crank nights and bring a buddy day so we can get friends more involved in the activity.

MH Shin: Like the sign on the wall “Did you clip in”.Safety, and fun walls.

Devin Cleveland-Stein: Did the intro session with some friends. The staff were very knowledgeable and made it simple to learn the basics. For $45 it included the gear rental, the class, entry for the day as well as entry for one additional day.

T mei: It was the best!! We had such a blast. Me personally I liked the bouldering.

Manuel Pumarada: I went with my daughter and her friends. First time in 6 or 7 years. They gave me a refresher. A thorough refresher. I climbed a couple of times the tall but easier ones (5.7 and 5.8 in case that means something to you). Anyway, the employees were friendly. The place is well kept. It has a decent gym. The $20 fee covered both. They also have a coffee shop, a fireplace. It's a pretty chill place. Get a workout while having fun with friends.

Sean Hunter: Great time. Instructor was thorough. Clean place with gear for purchase. Not too crowded. It's a pretty large place to begin with. All around I have no complaints at all. Get out there and climb! (Safely of course).Still awesome all these years later.

Karli Raimondo: Great gym and a huge facility. PR has been a staple for Michigan climbing for years. They bring a strong kids team to the national stage and they have very classic climbing style routes. All the climbers there are super nice and the community is great.The reason for 4 is that all of the great things about PR are overshadowed by the immense access/paywall to climbing that they provide.Specifically, in order to have access to their facility you must take a belay certification which costs an additional 50$ and 120 minutes of climbing time.PR has an extensive bouldering area and and personally I just boulder. It’s a shame.I often introduce people to the sport I love but I always have to skip PR and go to Dyno instead to have people come join me to climb.I hope that they change it so just bouldering is an option.

william kemp: Love this place. I try to make it once a week. it’s a great workout

Tomer Assaf: Pros:- It's a climbing gym in Michigan, you don't have much choice- Actual facility is spacious with toping out on the boulders- Has some basic barbell gym equipmentCons:- Place is filthy, even by climbing standards. They don't really enforce "don't go to the bathroom with climbing shoes on"- Routes often stay up for several months, get taken down with no schedule- Broken equipment (lifting eqp, water fountain, cubbies) stays broken for years- Chunk of the staff is just straight up aggressively rude...luck of the draw who you get :(- Only gym ever to require pricey 2 hour intro lesson on top roping before you can boulder. No exceptions- Have lied in attempt to charge me extra fees. Just sort of sleazy business practices.- Does not take safety seriously, allows the birthday party kids to run amok under climbersTake away:Now that Dyno in Detroit is open, skip this mediocre-at-best experience. Planet Rock has a lot of potential in its facility, but squandered by its poor staff and worse operations.

Rahul Singh: A+ great place to learn or advance your skills. Truly feel you are not judged here and everyone is helpful or learning themselves. Staff have always been friendly to work with. Check their website for training classes, prices etc. only downside is it can tend to get to crowded but goes to show climbing’s popularity is increases. Compared to their location in AA, I think this one has more room, more walls etc. it does feel more crowded since the bouldering area and climbing walls are all basically in the same area.

Alan Kaliszewski: Great place to climb!

Chelsea: We had a great first experience today during our starter lesson. I do not have any experience with climbing equipment, but our instructor did a great job guiding us through the basics of climbing and belaying, stressing safety measures along the way. Though we did not have time to stay and climb after our lesson today, we will definitely be back in the next few days to put the basics we learned to the test!

Len Lasook: Staff don’t smile… it’s like they didn’t want to be there! Not a warm welcoming place. Nice gym though, likely won’t go back to this location.

Shelby Wager: I had a fantastic time rock climbing with our instructor Nate. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient, and really helped me feel comfortable and confident as I learned the ropes (literally!). His attention to safety was top-notch, and he made sure to carefully explain and demonstrate proper techniques before we got started. The climbing itself was a lot of fun, and I feel like I learned a lot in just one session. I'm definitely looking forward to more rock climbing in the future, and I have Nate to thank for making my first experience such a positive one. Overall, I highly recommend Nate as an instructor for anyone interested in trying rock climbing. He is an exceptional teacher and a great asset to the climbing community.

Joseph Hampel: Lots of fun! We did the beginner's class and then climbed for a little while after. The instructors were really great, the facility was large with lots of options, more than enough room for everyone there, and we look forward to climbing again!

Michael Arwashan: No frills solid gym

dave lim: I'm a first timer at this climbing gym. It seemed to be top rope/lead climbing focused. The main autobelay section is on the short walls unfortunately, with one autobelay on the high walls. One of the autobelay sections has a spray wall which i haven't seen in other gyms. So I definitely recommend bringing a partner, or be comfortable to ask for a belay to get the most out of the gym. There were two small bouldering areas. I didn't like the mats because they are the plastic type and my home gym had more of a cloth top which is much more comfortable. Routes here are graded and written on the start tape with the route setters name. Not as easily identifiable as other gyms i've been to that grade the routes by color. Other unique parts of the gym, they had ice climber training poles, a crack and offset width route. First timers can skip the class if they can pass the belay test. I made the mistake thinking i had to take the first timer class since it was my first time at gym, but they were happy to refund. I found the staff friendly and helpful and made me feel welcomed as a first timer.

Kit Lane: Hours are wack. Never seen a gym that closed at 6pm on weekends. Unfriendly to new climbers. Setters are okay, but they don’t change the routes enough. Boulders are closed often. Youth competition kids are prioritized over members. 90% of the employees are rude and unhelpful.

ben flint: climbing is fun
